The cost to manufacture good big ereader is still very high I guess. Amazon doesn't care about the cost of ereaders, it makes its revenue from selling books and subscriptions. And what about PocketBook? They can't sell their products below the cost. Plastic Logic failed, IREX failed. I hope Amazon monopoly will be destroyed soon, but I ve already waited too long for good ereader trying smaller ones. I ll give a try to DX. Well it comes with 30 days return policy anyway  I guess in about two years we gonna laugh reading our old posts. Ereader's war has just begun and the prices will go much lower. |
No pearl screen with the first batch of devices; should come with second or third batch. They start with normal eInk; NO LCD !
Prices will be annoucend the German Book Fair (first weekend of october).
As Pocketbook isn't a hardware only company who knows their price calculations ?
