To answer Gester's question, the 9.7" model is the only one which is described to have a touch screen that uses a stylus. The 6" lists the touch screen as optional but with no other information. As for the 5" model there is no touch screen option.

P.S. to whoever wrote this, it's "Parlez-vous français?"

Typographical errors aside I really do hope that the guys at Astak succeed and deliver on their promises. If the price for the 9.7" really is ~$350 you can sign me up for two. There's no way that I'll be sharing mine with my girlfriend
If they can deliver the 9.7" at that price, I'll buy one as well. I think a 9.7" display will be better for reading large-page PDF ebooks. As for the 6", I'd want one with touchscreen and wifi. Don't get me wrong, I *like* the Netronix EB-100 - hardware-wise - but I'm so looking forward to the port of OpenInkpot and FBReader to it. I have far too many mobi ebooks to want to convert them all - again!
