iRiver the popular Mp3 maker, is coming out with their own eBook reader to compete with Amazon’s Kindle 2 but only in Japan. (More pictures and details after the break)

iRiver, which is going to be renamed to MouseComputer, will release the iRiver Libre to the Japanese market later this year. iRiver is currently in negotiations with Japanese newspapers to release the Libre with content. It’ll use the same eInk as the Sony and Kindle devices and will have a resolution of 800×600. Book transfers will take place through a USB connection, no wireless capability, and will cost around $312 (29,800 Yen).
