My gosh.
There are two type of annotations: the ones you make with a stylus or a touch, and the ones you make with keyboard or phisical buttons. The name is universally the same. Nearly ALL ereaders HAVE annotations.

US is not the world. The fact that on your market you can't easily find some devices, it does not mean it's the same in the rest of the world. Plus, Ectaco is nearly unkown in Europe.

Not only with their multi format compatibility, and color e-ink, but also with an sd card reader, high resolution display, fast Cortex A8 processor (it's about 4x faster than most ebook readers); TTS, dictionary, and perhaps in the future wifi and a browser.

Those are all feats, that combined you won't find in any other device on the market out there!
In fact,most ebook readers have one (like a large display), but not the other (no compatibility with the wide variety of file formats).
Or can read multiple file formats, but have a small screen...

These are mere daydreams. Facts, objective facts, are different. Poor color and speech recognition are the only unique feature, at present.

On every other feature, the device performs under the average. Software-wise, reality is clear: the device was not ready for the market, we're saying AT PRESENT it's not worth 500 bucks, but in future, it may even be: so let's talk again about this when the first solid updates will be ready, improvements then could be very noticeable.

But heck no: in every post you feel this foolish urge to deny reality. Dont' you see you're making a bad service to 'your' eBook reader? I don't care if there's your cousin working there, or you just like being a troll: reality doesn't change.

Unfortunately (because I'd like having colours too) the screen's awful (with indoor standard lighting) readibility cannot be improved, and being this a reader, it's a major fail in the main purpose: reading. We know, you got eagle eyes so you can read it even by night, but FACT is that standard Pearl screens outperform Triton BY FAR, and this is a matter of hardware.

Personally I hope for the current owners that updates will be so good that the device don't dies in 4 months but will have a nice future.

Now ProDigit, can we please avoid starting over again repeating the same things? I won't comment on you anymore, let's just wait some more reviews from owners.
