Although today marks the "official" beginning of CES, we've already seen a ton of products make their first appearances to the world, a few of them being a new batch of eReaders. Move over Kindle and Nook, these gadgets are hoping to find their way into America's homes and hands!

The iRiver M Player has been making noise in the geek-o-sphere recently and I wasn't sure if it had geeksugar appeal until my geek about town calamari gave it a stamp of approval by sending me a note about it. You may have guessed from the token ears that this is an official Micky Mouse MP3 player. It comes with lanyard earphones, which I think is its cutest feature, and you can control volume and song choice by rotating the ears. It also features USB and supports MP3s, WMA and ASF.

In a blog post this morning, Google announced that Target will be selling the iriver Story HD, the first device to integrate Google eBooks into its platform. With a price tag of just $140 and launching on July 17, the iriver will allow you to browse and buy Google eBooks over WiFi right from the reader. There are hundreds of thousands of books for sale and millions you can download for free. You can even pick up where you left off on another compatible device just by storing your books in the cloud.

The Story HD comes in at just 7.3 ounces with an e-ink display and reported six weeks of battery life on a single charge. It also comes with a full QWERTY keyboard and supports Epub and PDF formats. I'm curious to find out how many of you use Google eBooks now, and if you would buy this ereader. Let us know in the comments below!
