iriver Cover Story WiFi clears FCC; US release imminent?

iriver's Cover Story ebook reader – also known as the iriver Story Touch Edition – has shown up in the FCC's testing database, suggesting its US debut may be sooner rather than later.  The Cover Story has a 6-inch E Ink display together with a resistive touchscreen for navigation.

There's also WiFi b/g in this FCC tested version, which iriver told us at IFA 2010 would allow for basic web browsing as well as wireless downloads of ebooks.  No word on US pricing or availability, though the Cover Story did go up for sale in the UK back in September, priced at around £149 ($239) for the basic model and £179 ($287) for the WiFi version.
