Another links to buy it

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/E-boo...305363169.html
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Top-Q...645526286.html

and a lot more on aliexpres

I have one, and i love it. Today, the book is descatalogued, with no support.

Please translate with google translator if you want. I put my reply on another forum and paste here.

Pros:

Pantalla de 9,7 pulgadas
Pantalla bastante blanca, podría ser mejor, pero le llega
Software bastante bueno. De momento he probado con epub y pdfs, y permite múltiples opciones de fuente, zoom, ajuste de pantalla (se ajusta eliminando márgenes en blanco en vertical, horizontal, etc) , espaciado, márgenes, etc. Permite navegar por la estructura de ficheros, meter fotos propias que actuen como salvapantallas cuando el libro lleva un tiempo de inactividad, etc. Para mi el software es mejor que el del kindle.
Formatos soportados según la página: pdf, epub, djvu, txt, fb2, mobi, chm, html, pdb, rtf, prc, tcr, doc, ppt, xls
Wiifi
Solo cuesta sobre unos 170 euros
Funda, cable USB para conectar al PC y tarjeta sd de 8 gigas incluído en el precio.



Contras

Los menús solo están en inglés o chino
La carcasa parece poco rígida, ahí habra que tratarlo con dulzura.
El manual que viene con el libro solo está en chino.
No es táctil, aunque para mi esto no es un problema.
No tiene luz, aunque esto no es un problema.

translated above
Pros:

9.7 inch screen
Pretty white screen, it could be better, but it comes
Pretty good software. So far I've tried epub and pdfs, and allows multiple font options, zoom, screen adjustment (adjusted by removing blank margins in vertical, horizontal, etc.), spacing, margins, etc. You can browse the file structure scoring own photos that act as screensavers when the book takes some downtime, etc. For me the software is better than the kindle.
Supported according to page formats: pdf, epub, djvu, txt, fb2, mobi, chm, html, pdb, rtf, prc, tcr, doc, ppt, xls
Wiifi
It only costs about 170 euros
Case, USB cable to connect to PC and 8 gig sd card included.



Cons

Menus are in English only or Chinese
The case seems little stiff, that we will have to treat it gently.
The manual that comes with the book is only in Chinese.
Not touch, but for me this is not a problem.
No light, although this is not a problem.
===================
thankss

one question how well is zoom function
