PocketBook readers are, indeed, manufactured in China ;-)
The company that sold them was originally from Ukraine and now has headquarters in Switzerland. At the very beginning they were using generic Netronix hardware from Chinese manufacturer Netronix and just installing their fantastic firmware. Those were times when PocketBook 301 and PocketBook 360° were THE best e-ink readers in the world [software-wise The hardware was generic OEM stuff]. T
Later on they switched to other Chinese manufacturer.
I do not know who manufactures hardware now, but I think it is Chinese company (just like in case of iPhones, flagship Android phones, Segways, and other high-end hardware)
