great find ! maybe this time i'll manage to be a beta tester... ^^

here is a photo :


and more info (in french) in this page
http://www.zone-numerique.com/news_3...imentation.htm

it's a netronix / cybook clone. the press reslease in french says they'll be working with 6 newspapers (Les Echos, Le Monde, L'Equipe, Le Parisien, Le Figaro et L'AFP) and 7 publishers (Dunod, Flammarion, Hachette, M21 éditions, Plon, Ramsay, Solar).

interesting excerpt from the press release :
Quote:
Chaque appareil dispose d'un numéro de série unique, les lecteurs sont ainsi identifiés et les fichiers contenant les ouvrages sont cryptés de façon à ce que seuls les lecteurs identifiés puissent les télécharger. Il n'est ainsi pas possible de transférer un ouvrage téléchargé vers un autre e-Book ou autre support.

Cette expérimentation permettra de tester, notamment, l'ergonomie du produit, son usage en situation de mobilité et la pertinence de l'offre de contenus proposée. Les enseignements tirés du pilote permettront à SFR d'adapter son offre pour le lancement commercial en fin d'année 2008.
Les clients qui souhaitent devenir testeurs du " e-Book SFR " peuvent s'inscrire sur le site www.ateliersfr.fr dès le vendredi 4 juillet.
translation :
"Each device will have a unique serial number, which will identify it and the ebooks are encrypted so that only the identified device can download it. So it's impossible to transfer a downloaded ebook to another ebook or another medium.

This experiment will also allow us to test, notably, the ergonomy of the product, it's use in mobile situations and the pertinence of the content proposed. The lessons learned from the pilot will allow SFR to adapt its offer for the commercial launch at the end of 2008. Clients who would like to become testers of the "SFR ebook" can sign up on the site www.ateliersfr.fr starting friday 4th of july.
