It looks like they've redone the English site, but they've also changed the address(?).

https://pocketbook.ch/en-ch

Looks like all the information is still there, just not as convenient.

I'm looking at buying either a Basic Lux 2 (which was going to be my choice until I realized that it doesn't have a browser, at least I don't think it does) and the Touch Lux 4.

Techinn.com will supposedly sell and ship to the U.S. for reasonable prices.

Only thing is, I don't know anything about Tech Inn (or its parent, Trade Inn). Trade Inn appears to be a "largish" English company founded in 2009.

One more thing I wanted to say about Kobo/Kindle. Kobo no longer has a low-end device to compete with the Kindle "Basic." And Kindle doesn't have a "high middle" device to compete with the Libra. Strangely, Tolino still has a low-end device (the Page 2). I don't quite understand why Kobo didn't adapt that to their line.
