Greetings from Austria. (No kangaroos here :-)
As the title says, I'm from Austria (Not to confuse with Austrialia, where sometimes packages I order in the US are sent...).
I have seen there is a german subforum here, so I guess I might not be the only one. (Though it's likely most are from germany?)
[edit]Nice forum feature, btw - I see now there are at least 5 others from Austria. (Or at least whose thread title indicates and got selected for "similar threads")
A few days ago I bought an eReader (Netronix/Elonex EB-600), and just this day I finally got it.
Of course, I've got lots of questions (as I barely leave anything as-is and immediately start to speculated what else might be possible). I'll ask them in more fitting subforums, though.
Were it not for a collegue of mine, who mentioned thinking about buying one himself, I still wouldn't even realize how much "eBook" there is already.
Till a few weeks ago, I thought it'd be one or two models, incompatible to anything and barely useable - and beyond reach, as far as money is involved.
An afternoon of research(read: leafing through google) showed me how wrong I was. At least about models and compatibility. The prices do hurt.
After some more research, I determined that I'd want to own a Netronix device. They seemed to be good quality, and more importantly, widely in use, even if with different names stamped on it.
Having a line of several successive models also implied to me that a) they'll continue to exist and b) are likely easier to reprogram than one-shot models.
The EB-600 looked especially nice to me, so I started looking for models that use this hardware.
By sheer luck, I found the Elonex eReader - affordable and based upon EB-600.
Well, now I finally have it in my hands. And lots of questions...
