Edit: Not PocketBook Touch Lux, PocketBook Touch Lux 2.

eReaders and ebooks finally entered my country. There were some ebooks before (from one online retailer) but it was Adobe DRM and they had no connected reader. Also, almost no books.

2-3 months ago, Calibro and connected store Babil (guess where they got their name?) entered the market, actually, created the market for Turkey. They sell a rebranded PocketBook Touch Lux 2 with completely custom software, and have an exlusive ebook store. You can't read books from their store with other devices. The store is rapidly expanding and I've started to think about buying one of their readers.

So, is PocketBook Touch Lux any good? Compared to Kobo Glo?

Thanks.

PS. This is the device, the site is in Turkish but here it is anyway: http://www.calibro.com/touch-lux.php
