Rumours are that the 840 sold in Russia has poor contrast because of the capacitive layer on the screen. Pocketbook is getting new displays with a hopefully better capacitive layer produced, and is delaying the launch in other markets until they are ready. So, I wouldn't write off the Pocketbook device yet. Onyx will also be releasing a similar model at about the same time (also delayed, most likely because of the same display issues). So, if you wait until then, you'll have your choice of the Pocketbook Inkview or Onyx Android device.
