JSWolf 10-11-2007, 08:55 AM So what DRM format will this reader handle? What is EBA and EBAML?

EBA and EBAMAL is JCNIP's format. EBAMAL is a DRM format too.
JSWolf 10-11-2007, 12:45 PM Who is going to sell book in EBAMAL format? And what publishers will sign up for it? I know Sony created their own format, but do we really need another to add to the Tower of eBabel?

It's obvious,M218B supported TXT,PDF,HTML format,so,user maybe choice many many ebooks which can view on M218B.
EBAML is as same as PDF,which can view picture and text,can zoom font
size.
EBAML format is being used newspaper publisher which publishs mobile
digital newspaper.At the same time, JCNIP will issue EBAML format ebooks with publishing company.

No I can't. I looked.

JSWolf 10-12-2007, 08:26 AM I too was unable to find a listing on ebay.
HarryT 10-12-2007, 09:08 AM Is this the same type of mono display that's used by the OLPC? Sounds similar!
ColdSun 10-12-2007, 09:36 PM Is this backlit? :) If it is, count me in! Also, please let us know where to find it on EBAY.
Thanks.

Regular LCD. There are a few clues in the specs, but the major one is "16 shades of grey". AFAIK, no e-ink displays are capable of more than 8 shades.

The iLiad does 16 just fine. But I do believe it is not e-Ink anyway.

They must be very smart liars then, as they say it on their site and people can't see the difference over real e-ink! ;)

The iLiad uses an eInk screen made by PVI, just as all other eInk reader manufacturers do. Where it differs from the others - and the reason it supports 16 grey-scales - is that they use a different controller. It's the controller that determines the number of grey-scales, rather than the screen itself.

I see my comment was confusing. iRex iLiad is definitely e-ink and it is definitely 16 levels as they have a custom controller. My reference to non-e-ink was will regard to the original topic, not the iLiad.

OK, sorry.
Your message was confusing, specially to a non-native English speaker with very inaccurate English like me ;)

It's not just you :p Even I misunderstood, & I'm a native english speaker :D
DaleDe 01-12-2008, 03:19 PM It's not just you :p Even I misunderstood, & I'm a native english speaker :D
It was confusing to me also when I read it later :) Of course I knew what I meant to say.
