It's there under "Touch", the first device in the line if you choose "Produkte".

I think you can't, at least I didn't find it. As I've understood it from the German part of this forum they start selling at March 26th. I assume that Troll ordered directly from Forkosigan.

The GUI looks totally different from that used in the past devices. Is the new one based on Android?

You can download video, if you write KISS to the youtube address. Like this: Code:
the address is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7wGHv-vWmw
and you edit the url to
www.KISSyoutube.com/watch?v=e7wGHv-vWmw
It looks like March the 26th really is the day when PB622 is put on the market. |

Yes, to me it looks like it has all the features user can desire.
Except perhaps for:
Disclaimer: I am not PocketBook representative, nor do I sell their devices. So the following is pure speculation and it has fair chance of being totally wrong. When previous PB models were introduced they had significantly lower price in USA. This fact caused LOTS of heated criticism as being unfair to us - Europeans and especially to their "native" market - Ukraine and Russian Federation. Some people felt that non-USA customers were sponsoring PB models sold in USA, so that PB could remain competitive with Amazon. The situation was further aggravated by the fact that USA based resellers are strictly forbidden to sell to Europe and Ukraine and Russia and other regions where PocketBook has distributors [with higher prices]. I myself was complaining when I found out that PocketBook 360 PLUS was selling for *much* lower price in USA than its OLDER model PocketBook 360 was sold for here in EU. (if I remember correctly, it was something like 140USD for new model versus 250Eur for older model here) My complaints were also fuelled by fact that at that time PocketBook 360 PLUS wasn't available here at all. Possibly because they wanted to sell their remaining stock of older models. So PocketBook might have decided to solve the situation by not selling to USA, instead of lowering prices here ;-) Please notice, this is pure speculation. |

Can't downlaod the video with a kiss, either, lookslike it takes too long between my giving permission to the program to run and the thing actually running, but I should be able to fix that tomorrow - but just one question: you say that the touch has a cover "a la 360", which came as a total surprise to me as it was not in any of the videos I had seen: is this totally sure? I can't bring myself to buy a third reader for myself, but I think my husband would prefer it to a 9", especially if it has a rigid cover like the 360. |
