Hi there,
Sony introduced us (Germans) the 505 a few days ago on the IFA (a big european fair), claiming to sell the reader next Year in Germany. There is NO Reader available at the moment (no kindle, no Sony, NOTHING, and of course no ebook-shops). So IF, and we know that Astak has allready a European reseller for their devices (source), IF Astak would sell their readers before Sony... or with Sony (and Sony does all the PR and comercial stuff

) - I mean the Sony 505 is a nice device, but its old and lame compared to the new Astak devices (if they get the new Epson controller).

So what I'm trying to say: HURRY UP ASTAK, YOU CAN BE THE GERMAN/EUROPEAN KILLER DEVICE!
