Seconded. It may very well be the currently most popular of all the rebranded Hanlin V3's, but it is, in essence as well as in the details, nothing but a rebranded V3.

I agree that all the V3 and clones should have be merged into one forum.

Alright. How would we name the OEM section? Who is the original producer? Is it Nemoptics/PVI?

Reading ebooks is the goal here and should not be driven by the technology, but rather augmented by it. Just ask all those original Rocket eBook users if they really want/wanted to change their device. I would surmise the answer would be "not if I don't have too". Quote:

I'm not sure about the iRex section...
Software releases and development for both devices are very different and aren't compatible. I think it could be very confusing if someone doesn't know that... |

I agree with the classification, but leave Jinke under the other device does not seem appropriate. Since 1999, Jinke began to devote itself to develop and manufacture eReading device. So far Jinke sold more than 500K of the reader device (include OEM /non-EINK product), maybe jinke is the best eReading device seller. My suggestion is classify them as Jinke Devices,
Jinke Devices * Hanlin V3 * OEM (LBook/Bebook/EZReader/Papyre/Walkbook/Digibook) * Accessories * Contents * Software Releases * Developer Corner |

I think the Jinke devices should have their own section too. It should also have (I think) an "also known as..." line on the main Forum page, with a list of all the clones, since when you buy (for instance) a Bebook, there's nothing in the manual or on the web site that tells you it's a Jinke clone, and a casual browser may look at the site quickly, see no reference to their particular V3 clone, and think there's nothing here for them.

I do very much agree with T-bag but see candarols point. There should be a way in which a swift glance for bebook etc. leads to the right place - Jinke info.

I agree with Adam about the iRex development section: Development for the devices is too different, and the iLiad OS developers will need their own place for discussions etc.
Hmm, thread prefixes would only make it hard to find out relevant threads for users of either device. I don't think there will be many overlapping discussions between the two reader's users, especially when it comes to development. |

I do not think Hanlin eBook should be in the 'other devices'. My eBook is Hanlin V3, some of my friends and colleagues use Hanlin V3 as well. Jinke Hanlin has become a famous brand, so it should be listed independently!

While it is not specific to the eBook Devices section I would like to see a General eBook forum in the General eBook section. Currently some eBook topics end up in the Lounge or even here in feedback. People just don't know where to post some things and a general catch-all would be useful.
