I'm quite curious as to why you are positive is not made by Netronix. I have an E-Slick and a Gen3, and the layout of all the keys, USB port and SD port are all identical among the three.
It does have a new case which looks better (IMO) and feels sturdier (aluminum reinforced), but it won't be as easy to open up to look at the circuit board - the real evidence one way or the other. The software uses ADE, but is otherwise different from any other Netronix-built device, AFAIK. That seems to be a KOBO effort. |

At CDN$149 I might be interested, as a current Kindle 2 owner, but as a supplement to and not a replacement for the Kindle. The Kobo's lack of a dictionary is a huge problem -- I am coming to really value that as I get using it. It might be helpful for library access -- currently tied to ePub. But if the Kindle -- or any device for that matter -- comes out supporting BOTH DRM'd ePub and Mobi, well, who needs a second device?

Ah.. I now see why I could not see it.. I have a tool called AdMuncher installed, and it blocked that as an advertisment!
One useful tip; through Facebook you can find a $5.00 off coupon. Enter the word "Save5" during checkout. |
