exactly. this was difficult to keep to myself. I told my wife Whats interesting about this news is that at CES neither Netronix nor Pocketbook has their own booth. They both are sharing booths with others. Last edited by Dulin's Books; 01-08-2010 at 09:41 AM. |

Does this mean that Pocketbook will be coming out with reader hardware that nobody else is going to be using?

Aztac is itself supposedly a major stocholder in Netronix. So this could be good for them. |

I think that the 360 is not the only one. The Opus is unique for Bookeen too

it would, however be nice to see some of the design features on the Astak devices added to some future PB device. I actually think the "grippy" coating is a good idea, but only if it's far more rugged than the current version that seems akin to a kid with a can of spray Krylon at 3ft away... I also like the lanyard post, the scroll wheel is nice but it belongs on the LEFT SIDE not the right side since most people are right handed as from polls and threads here on MR most of us righties hold print books as well as out ebook readers in out left hand freeing our right for eating, writing or whatever. Other then that there are no features of the Astak lineup I find compelling and even those are not compelling enough to overcome the recent bad experiences users had with the Pocket Pro reader (the Bebook was plagued with a lot of the same probs as well, since, ummmm, they were the same device...) But this whole deal is going to be a GREAT thing for both product lines and bringing them together is a wise idea or well...I just feel Astak as an ereader device line was destine to die off in obscurity eventually anyway. |

I'm nor sure how I would hold it so that I could flip it with one finger and still hold on. I just lent it to a friend, so I can't run and try it out. I will try, promise. |
