However, we're talking of Pocketbook, a brand known for its quality software which makes people pay a "premium" for their devices: PB360 is the most expensive of 5 inch devices and the 301+ is more expensive than the other Netronix clones. Doesn't it go against their market positioning if they release the cheapest and most no-frills model in another market segment? |
Well, you seem to have a point. But PocketBook wants to provide a simple, handy tool for students and has done everything it could to reduce the price and still maintain the quality. The 901 will be available earlier in Europe than in the States, we are talking July/August here. As far as I know and this could still be changing, the colored buttons will only be one of 3 color choices.
