Panasonic Words Gear is discontinued
I almost missed the short notice posted at saidoku.com when I went there to download the latest firmware update.

Production of the reading device "Words Gear" is finished.
We hope that you'll continue using "Ultimate Reading Life"*.

So if you want one, better hurry up while they're still in stock.

I actually wanted one during my quest for a reader. I bought the PRS500 instead, because I was going to read manga anyway. So the B&W thingie didn't matter.

It wasn't as well known as a Cybook but it did gather some interest and would have had gathered more if it had been introduced here.

In slightly related news, mjh215's Digital Indexable Codex of Knowledge has also been discontinued due to lack of interest.
