On March 20th "Michael Dahan" added this comment:

PocketBook claims they have signed an exclusive contract for worldwide distribution of the new device with Netronix, but apparently Bookeen thinks they have worldwide rights as well. Then there's the matter of the "mentor" label on the prototype, which is the name of the new model series by Astak...

I hope the situation can be settled without litigation. The new device looks very promising.
Dear All:

We have zero plans at this time to carry the Netronix 5 inch. Netronix is a wonderful factory. We carry their 6 inch as the Mentor Lite. But, I have heard nothing that would lead me to believe we have any interest in the 5 inch.
