It releases in about 4 weeks.
This Bookeen Opus, we think, is a Netronix product and we will check that out. IF it is, Astak will be carrying it also with the famous Astak warranty and USA technical support, and may well have it in colors also! Our General Manager is in Taiwan now talking with Netronix. IF we do this Netronix model we will demand the Epson controller for it.

I seriously doubt that you can have this design since it is exclusive to Bookeen. (ODM not OEM) and the hardware seem with my discution with them beeing exclusive too to booken even if the base is nearly the same as the EB500. And I ask them about why not the epson inside the Opus, they said me that netronix have no current plan about Epson inside EB500. I can't get more about this, so event here I doubt you will get any EB500 powered by the S1D13521
