615, 615 Plus and Basic Lux

I found an inexpensive 615 on eBay (it's supposed to arrive on Friday) and I'm having trouble finding information about it. But I think I've figured it out... the 615 is the same as the 615 Plus, except the Plus has an E-Carta screen instead of Pearl. The 615 Plus is the same as the Basic Lux (original one) except the Lux has WiFi, which (apparently) neither of the 615s have? If I'm wrong, thanks for any correctiions. I was looking forward to testing a PocketBook, but part of the testing was going to be downloading books directly from Overdrive. Ah well, at the very least I'll see if I like the PocketBook firmware and that might lead to upgrading to a PocketBook with WiFi.

Just out of curiosity, is the 615 mostly meant for the Russian market? Every review I found on the 615 and 615 Plus on YouTube was in Russian. Apparently, according to one English review I found (written by a Russian), PocketBook has a 70% market share in Russia?

Again, thanks for any information. The 615 was sold "for parts" because the "digitizer didn't work." I was looking at how I might be able to fix it, then realized... "hey, that "digitizer" isn't supposed to work." I don't feel too sorry for the seller because he's one of those dealers that gets devices left on airplanes and sold in cheap lots to resellers like him.
