That depends on how many sales it needs to make it a profitable product. While Romania is a poor country, relatively speaking, it
does have an affluent class. Ereaders aren't a mass-market item anywhere yet. They may become so down the road, but they are still largely in the "early adopter" category.
The hardware specs are decent. From the list of supported formats, I'm guessing the open source FBReader ebook viewer is being used as the underlying software. It does a decent but not exceptional job with ePub and MobiPocket files here, and is adequate to the task.
The bigger question may be what users will read with this. I strongly suspect it doesn't handle DRMed material.
