Review of HighScreen Alex
Spring Design Alex will be sold under the brand HighScreen in Russia.
The-ebook.org got a hold of the device which will be presented on September 2nd at the Knigabyte expo in Moscow. The review in Russian, Google translation. |

It's an interesting concept, but I'm not at all sure about the shape - too long and thin. I'll be interested to learn more after the presentation on 2nd September.

Let me tell you what's there: a nook for the price of two.

Since I have one I feel qualified to comment: that odd shape is actually very well-balanced and comfortable to hold for long periods of time, at least for me and my little arthritic thumbs. It's my favorite eReader right now, and if Spring Design produces an Alex with a Pearl screen I'll upgrade. I'll wince when I see the bill, though.

Grammata is taking Alex preorders for Spain since May, at the outrageous 449 € price (yeah, 567 dollars). Ebookreaderstore.nl is taking preorders for Netherlands at the outrageous 399 € price.
So, I have 2 questions: 1) where the f**k are these Alex readers? 2) Is Spring Design going bankrupt a) this year; b) next year; c) or in a couple of years? choose your answer. |
