Plastic Logic will announce a new electronic reading device the size of a standard sheet of paper, billed as having "a lightweight plastic screen that mimics the look of a printed newspaper." The price will not be announced until the CES show in January, and "the reader will go on sale in the first half of next year."

It definitely seems more geared to reading newspapers than books, doesn't say what formats it will read, but mentions being able to store several hundred pages of text - definitely not what's needed by ebook users, who want a device that will hold many dozen books at a time. However, that huge screen certainly is enticing!
