I'm totally unaware of the costs of eReaders in Russia. Any info about the price range?
By the way: Lermontov, Mikhail: A Hero of Our Time here on MR (Mobi/PRC). A classic indeed. |

The ballpark figure for a 6" device is 10000-12000 RUR which is around $350-$400. The popular but now rare PRS-505 goes up to 15K ($500).

The jokes are already starting to go around...
- What kind of reader can you make for $100? - A nano-reader with 1" nano-screen. (Medvedev is a big fan of nanotechnologies and wants to make Russia the leader in them) |
