Hi
I see that some people have had trouble finding more information about the Netronix ebook readers. I sent an email to Netronix after reading about them on Engadget and recently got a reply. I hope they don't mind me posting it here, but I think people might find it informative.
Quote:
For the eBook, we currently have one model(EB-1001) available for mass
production which is with Linux2.4 platform . 6" eBook Reader device with 6"
E-paper
screen . Ebook format support TXT, PDF, RTF, HTML/CHM. For this model,the AP
layer development (softwarewise) is designed by customers
as content provider format is different in every territory. During the
development, we would provide customer SDK to develop software to be
compatible with content
provider's format like Mobipocket DRM. Gernerally, our customer would apply
for a license from Mobipocket to include their format to our device.
We are currently applying a license from Mobipocket as well. It's not
finalized yet. If we get a license from Mobipocket, then we will include
their format
to our next vesion of the ebook .
.
Could you please kindly share me more information regarding of your company
? Is there web site ? Will your software engineers handle the AP
development ?
IPlease kindly advise, so that I could work out the best solution for you.
