PB912 in USA - maybe very soon
PocketBook 912 may soon begin selling in US. Soon, I mean - in about October mas or menos... This is not carved in stone yet, but let's wait couple of weeks and see.
P.S. I don't know the pricing yet. P.P.S. Will be updating as soon as I know more. |

Wunderbar pricing... By the rule of thumb their price in US should be about the same about in greenback currency... Well... if it's so, it's not bad... though, I'd prefer 299...

Anyone knows how this compares with the L-book. Mainly wrt the build quality ?
I hear L-book V90 is flimsy. I'm hoping 912 will be a rugged German build. |

Compared to a many other devices I'veseen so far Pocketbooks are built like a tank.
You have a metal backplate (wich is such a tight fit it's nearly impossible to open with bare hands) and all the plastic parts look sturdy and well built. |

So besides 3G, there is no major difference between 903 and 912 ?

How's the firmware? Last time I checked this forum it was largely unfinished and no annotation and other obvious features for this kind of device.

Any updates on when this is likely to happen? I'm holding out on buying a Kindle DX because I think a pocketbook 912 would be better...but there are rumors that Amazon will drop the price for black friday, and I don't want to miss out if the 912 isn't likely to arrive until sometime in 2012.

The last info I have is that 912 and 612 should arrive to the USA just before the Thanksgiving - most probably next week.
