I got a response from Soribook:
Summary: Don't get your hopes up. The Soribook is still in beta.

Currently, only Korean version is available.
At this point, we can ship to you only windows CE 5.0 core installed.
As you might know, the CPU is Freescale MX31(L) ARM11, 532 MHz.
We needed high speed CPU for automatic layout analysis which also uses
artificial intelligence algorithm. Some people here already developed
software which has automatic layout analysis for PC. Ours is different
and we have almost finished implementing.
The product needs some fine tuning in power management and
further customization of windows ce. To use the machine,
the user needs to know how to operate Windows CE.
Our Windows CE implementation is slow ( about 2~3 seconds for
rendering), but we believed software compatibility is more important.
Moreover, we will eventually make our software as fast as Linux based one
by directly manupulating eink hardware rather than going through CE GDI
bottleneck.
Many people asked about mobipocket compatibility already, but
unfortunately none of binaries of manual download section worked.
In another googling, we have found
http://www.mobipocket.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7920
this might be the reason why the above downloaded files do not work properly.
We checked several other programs, and some work and some don't.
If you are still interested, please let me know. You can pay by paypal.
