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 :
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. |
Great now I am going to have to learn French!
