Netronix has discontinued the EB-100, EB-200, EB-300!
Gotcha!
What really happened is the models have been renamed. The 6" devices are all 6xx, and the 9.7" device is model EB-900. I just wanted to take this opportunity to mess with everyone. Quote:

If you pointed it out somewhere, then I must have missed it.

Thanks for being on top of the news Derek, and kudos for finding it fast!
As editors, we'll never be able to catch everything good in the MobileRead forums because there's just way too much good stuff popping up all the time. So don't be surprised if we duplicate stuff you come up with at times. But we do depend on people like you because, well, you guys are usually collectively faster than we could ever be, and often are a lot sharper than us to notice why news is significant and interesting! And as you can see over the years, we do spot a lot of that great news popping up in the forums first. Even other great sites find some great news from our forums. We've got a quality of community involvement that we are really proud of. You guys are the best!!!! Btw, if you do have a gold nugget of news that hasn't appeared on the front page, don't be shy about using the Contact Us link on the bottom of the front page to submit a news item. No promises... sometimes it maybe seem odd what does or doesn't get chosen, so consider it a little like the lottery! But we do like to refer to or bump to the front page if we find nicely written news posted in the forums. Everyone is encouraged to give it a go if you find a great bit of news for us. You won't get as rich as if you win the lottery, but you've gotta admit that it feels good to have something of yours so glamorously posted on the front page for all the world to see! And if it's especially interesting, you might even have the fun of finding it spreading across other tech sites as well. |

What does "A palm portable library" mean?

Have no idea. It is probably lost in the translation from Chinese. I think they may be trying to say you can have a portable library in the palm of your hand although all of the devices are too big to actually fit in your palm.

Thank you. Along the lines of what I assumed. But not clear. I keep hoping for a Palm OS eBook reader of respectable size. I'm doomed to be disappointed I'm sure.
