Busy working on Feedbooks of course ;-)
I'm doing a lot of changes on the service right now, we'll have a very powerful and standard API once it's ready (a full REST architecture).
Concerning the device:
- it'll be a 6" device based on Linux 2.6
- it'll be released through a large retailer in France around september/october
- available through specialized retailers and online later this year
We're dedicating our resources to what we consider the most basic features that any reader should have such as (just a few examples):
- the ability to browse through books using folders OR metadata
- a real bookmarking system that works well (something that the Sony did very well, but lacking on the iLiad and not really useful on the Cybook)
- simple yet customizable UI
I won't get too much into details yet, we'll do a real presentation once we're ready (screenshots, videos etc...).
