Ditto Book
This company was a pleasant surprise. I first heard about them some time ago, when they were importing the stock Netronix reference model with the original firmware and offering customization services such as content loading and engraving. At the time they were barely worth a mention, but times have changed.
When I stopped by their booth today, I learned that Ditto Book now offer both the D-6, a 6" ereader with keyboard, and the D-9, a 9.7" with touchscreen. The larger one was not on hand, but they did have the D-6. They actually have 3 devices to offer under this model name. All have keyboards, and they all come with FBReader. I identified at least one of the 6" units as being made by Insdream. You may recall I mentioned a e-reader with an unusual LCD screen a while back. That was it. The screen was a little odd, but it was usable. Ditto Book will soon be selling the D-6 and D-9 retail at www.dittobook.com. The expected retail is $249 and $429 (they were less than certain on the price of the D-9, so it could be wrong). P.S. In the pictures below, the gray ereader is the one with the LCD screen.

I meant "Which model?" but now I'm guessing that they won't be offering LCD. I'd prefer it, at this point, until we get a decent color screen.
Thanks, m a r |

Is the ePub in the Ditto ADE or is it their own making?

The limited specs on the ditto site for the d-9 does not indicate SD card support but one of the "images" seems to indicate that there is an sd card slot.

They simple don't put the device in sleep mode when reading. So your device work all the time during reading.
