I am not too worried that it is a copy since it is on Taobao, an eBay-like site that is pretty good at watching out for that kind of stuff. More likely it is an extra run from the factory that is sold by the managers. Pretty common over here. I will get more information today about it. Might also be factory overstock. Don't have much of a choice over here since they are not officially for sale in China anyway. The whispernet bypasses the Chinese Firewall so it is doubtful they will ever be legally available over here.
I still like the idea of a large book reader but the idea seems to be dying out. Knowing me, I will probably pick it up anyway. Can I put my own files on it, like I do with my Kindle 3 (convert and email it to Amazon) or do I have to use a cable? Since there is no wifi, and I can't put my own stuff on my Kindle 3 via 3G, is the cable mandatory?
