Apparently so, and engadget decided to add some misinformation (mirasol does reflective, not transflective).

There's also mention of the odd colours. That could be a case of camera RGB filters not matching the highly specific wavelengths reflected by the mirasols, and could be quite different to our eyes. Which doesn't help us until we can try them out, of course.

As for Pocketbook, I'll agree they're not ready to announce this yet. They've barely started shipping the 602/902, the 603/903 are still waiting, and the 302 has been waiting forever for a firmware update to include the promised functionality (hello, text entry is not hard).

As usual, I'd want more details. Mirasol may be interesting if they do decent resolution - if they don't, the colour will be horrible as the technology doesn't allow grayscales.
