It seems as if Asus is planning to launch a e-book reader by the end of the year which will come with 3G, WiFi and WiMAX connectivity. The ebook reader features a large 9-inch display and will be targeting American and European consumers.

ASUS apparently plan to trial the devices with Taiwanese charities before a commercial launch, at which point both branded and white-label models will be available and begin reaching carrier partners in the US and Europe come March 2010.
