It will be hard for Netronix to accept to produce smaller quantities. Pocketbook is still in prototype phase and I don't think their CAD reader will make it beyond this..
It seems that max is in good demand. I hope that it can motivate Onyx to invest into the upgrades, taking into account that the Goodearder may prove to be successful, it may draw some potential buyers from Onyx. It is strange that Pocketbook is hesitant to enter the market. Their Cad prototype is too specific, too narrow a niche, but their Flex model is pretty general,and if the Pocketbook dares release their device with the promised 3G capability and also capacitative screen, at a reasonable competitive price, it may as well totally blow all the rivals out of the water.
