Yep, at least it's on their site (

Plus there was rumor of a Chinese company working on a Librie-like e-book reader.

Seems it will be released only next year (maybe). Don't have a prototype ready the imas at mobileread are cgi

Honestly, given these latest developments, I would still wait instead of spending too much money on an e-book reader that gives too little (Librie, expensive to export, only supports memory sticks, DRM-polluted).

Well at least now you can order it from dynamism (in english), not like me who had to order from the other side of the world, just compare portugal and japan
Suppose memory stick will be a pain in the a$!, but i still haven't needed it.
I usually only have six or seven on it so...
Currently Drm isn't an issue (unless i was to buy official japanese books), i simply convert my texts, rss feeds, etc, and up them to the librie.
Right now the main grip against the device, in my opinion, is the price. If they were to drop it to 300 or 350(i also wouldn't mind less
it would probably sell well.
Like i said before, the librie got burned when it got out, but it really doesn't have all the problems from then.
