Am I correct that this is a 'rebranded' Cybook, much like the EZ Reader is a 'rebranded' Hanlin?
In which case, can I expect the same level of Mobi support when this is released?
Is there any reason to believe the touchscreen is not going to cause a similar "lack of clarity" that the Sony 700 suffers from?
Will it support folders/tagging?
The Cybook is not just a rebranded Netronix reader. It has its own OS and its own mobi support. The Astak Mentor will not be a rebranded Cybook. Now that ez reader is out I kind of doubt that the Astak Mentor will support DRM mobi at all. It is like to have eReader support for DRM content. I do expect it will get ePUB at some point as eReader is headed that way as well.
