Long review of Azbooka N516 (Hanvon n516)

It's in Russian, but Google Translate makes it understandable enough.
Don't be confused by names "ABC" and "Primer", they're just possible translation of the name "Àçáóêà" (Azbooka).

Eh, I actually wanted to post it in "Which device to buy", but on another thought it might fit in here too...

This has a similar scroll wheel to the Hanlin V5, but it is on the left side. A right side scroll wheel, like the V5, would give one more right hand page turn option. The location was probably designed for the Hanvon firmware, since with OpenInkPot any of the number keys on the left can be used for page turns.

As a design, I would ordinarily say it has too many buttons. However, that is perfect for OpenInkPot which can bind an action to each of these keys.

Does anybody know if there's a way of buying an Azbooka N516 from outside Ukraine or Russia?
