Bookpac - new Berlin based e-book company gearing up
Another interesting piece of news via the Yahoo Librie Group:
"Bookpac is a Berlin-based company developing and trading eBook hard- and software for the German market. We are a university spin-off and our enthusiastic staff have a strong research background as well as tight relationships to academic communities in Berlin and elsewhere." For those of you who speak German, visit the site now and take part in a survey about the German e-book market, and you'll be given the chance to win some Amazon voucher. For more information read Bookpac's Mission Statement. |

I read the mission statement of the website.
In my opinion, the project sounds/looks like a Germany/English version Librie? Because of electronic paper, search & notes (by the keyboard of Librie), bookmark, music. Librie is able to provide above function. (the picture also shows the Librie) I hope they can develop a LRF generator with TOC edit function and unicode support for CJK fonts (tranditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Japanese...) EDIT: MAYBE I AM WRONG... Maybe a new ebook reader? Last edited by segatang; 08-22-2006 at 11:17 AM. |

link prob
Alex, you misspelled the link, not a biggie, though.
Bookpac is planning the producton for the middle of 2007. Their questionnaire was definitely targeted at ebook virgins - what they really wanted to know was: how much would you be willing to pay for content and for an eInk device (options for three diferent display dimensions), and would you prefer to buy it preloaded or free of content (the examples definitely geared towards lawyers and health professionals). The other questions were more or less rhetorical: importance of battery life, support, ease of use, etc. Hmm, I'm not to impressed |

Thanks guys. I've fixed the link and the name. Should be okay now. Of course, I'd get much more from the site if I still remembered some of my German from grad school!
