Europe can now pre-order. I'm getting a Violet one!

There have been updates to the website - now it can also read FB2, RTF, HTML and PRC!

They've added an explanation about their file system - "...save your files into your individually named folders. You choose how to sort your library; for example by genre, date or favourite author. You have full control of your filing." Control freak that I am, this was just what I was hoping for :-)

Coolerbooks.com has also been updated with a pricing explanation. Basically I think they're saying that Amazon can afford to price at a loss but they can't, but you can always buy things from Fictionbook or Baen if you don't like their prices :-D

And the 25% discount for Cool-er owners is a... well, not quite a lie but a very positive interpretation of the facts. Everyone gets 20% off list price, and Cool-er owners get 25% off - so really Cool-er owners are just getting 5% off the site's usual price. Grrr...

Usual stupid complaints. "Wahhhh, it doesn't have wireless download. Wahhhh, my feeble google-skills mean I am only capable of looking for books on the manufacturer's website." But there is another complaint about stiff buttons. Drat.
