I've been told the software still is in beta and should be ready when the new devices are officially presented at the German book fair in Frankfurt in October.

I had the chance to give the 903 a try at an (unofficial) MR meeting the day before, and I was impressed by both software and handling.

But, yup, no pearl display. The market's been looted by Amazon and Sony for the time to come. But, nope, no glare. That's those bright spotlights on the fair.

Also had a chance to try the eDGE at the meeting. Nice device, but IMHO much to big and heavy, and all in all two different approaches and customers for the eDGe and the 903.
And a battery life of about 12 hours for an eInk display is THE argument for me NOT to buy an eDGe ...
