I saw that, but the specs don't show it. (And the reviews seem to support the specs.) The 615 arrived today. It's time zone was set for Moscow, so it looks like this was a "Russian 615" (which seems to be a bit different than the Basic Lux 615 on Pocket's main site). I found the firmware and support for this model on pocketbook-int.ru (I had been looking at pocketbook.ru). Don't know the difference between this site and the non "int" one, but the int. is a Russian version of the regular PocketBook site. I went ahead and updated to the newest firmware available for this model (5.17.99) but I liked the way the old firmware displayed page numbers better. With 5.17 its either everything or nothing. But, for those who don't like page numbers or titles, the PocketBook displays a full page of text really well. The screen is nice and white, no digitizer probably helps there. Definitely a Pearl HD screen, not E-Carta. I don't mind the non-touch screen and PocketBooks's buttons seemed to be well placed.
But no WiFi, so I won't be able to test how PocketBooks handle direct downloads, etc. Maybe (down the line) I'll look into buying a Basic Lux for that purpose.
