Claimed to be "the world's first electronic textbook".
Google does a passable translation, but here I translated some key points myself:
  1. developed in cooperation with the leading textbook publishers [of Ukraine?]
  2. 9.7" plastic E-Ink screen. [according to the company, plastic screens are not available in volume just yet, so the first limited batches will have glass screens]
  3. custom software that not only includes traditional search, TOC, bookmarks and notes but also has a hyperlink feature that allows to revisit key points of the previously studied text without closing the current view [some kind of a split view?]
  4. size 24,02×18,07×1,1 cm, weight 350g.
  5. native support for 16 file formats
  6. 10000 pages on single charge
  7. SD card slot
  8. ABBYY Lingvo dictionaries [ABBYY is the leading electronic dictionary provider in Russia and ex-USSR]
To be available in Q1 2010.
