It is good and bad news I guess...

First they say it's going to be end of November but in Taiwan! No word when the reader comes to US and EU.

Second thing is the pricing. $390?!?!? From the rumours before it was supposed to be less than $300 which is 30% different now... With the same news they also state that DR 900 is using SiPix display "which is apparently cheaper to buy" (for Asustek). If it is so and Asus will price its reader equally to Kindle DX, that is not a very competitve approach...

Anyway, over 6 months of waiting can get you tired enough. If then the reader is going to be in that price, I am going to get really really annoyed...
