Features of the new eReader include a 6-inch electrophoretic ePaper display with 600 x 800 resolution and 16 levels of greyscale, 2GB of internal memory and a battery life of up to 6,000 page-turns.

Interesting. an eInk type display that is also touch screen but at $200, you're paying a premium.

Does anyone know if there is a difference between this "electrophoretic ePaper" display vs a Kindle type "eInk" display?

Seems to be the same:

Examples of commercial electrophoretic displays include the high-resolution active matrix displays used in the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony Librie, Sony Reader, and iRex iLiad e-readers. These displays are constructed from an electrophoretic imaging film manufactured by E Ink Corporation.
