Yes. NAEB.

Okay, yes, we *do* have a specifications page up at our website ( http://www.naebllc.com/ ) as well as a pre- pre-order/"are you interested in learning more" page.

Yes, it is being supplied by Bookeen. Yes it will support RTF and HTML for sure. And I believe also PRC (mobipocket) and PDF. I'm pushing for early development of an update for handling the non-DRM ebooks in the PDB (ereader) format and I would like to see an fb2 (FBReader) module.

Why do I say I'm pushing for further development on these as if I would know? Because I'm one of NAEB's officers.

Look, we don't actually *have* any Bookeen evaluation units to look at, so we can't make hard claims, yet. But we should know more in a month - probably with our own reviews and pictures.

What I'm hoping we can accomplish is to have the updates to the software/firmware be installable via SD card or over the USB link from the PC/Mac. We're still a bit vague as to whether we can do that. If it is possible, then one of the features I'd like to see is support for text-to-speech for blind users. Again, all of these upgrades are just what *I* would like to see added in later. Some may not happen.

But one thing we can assure you is that we will never insist upon DRM ebooks.

One thing I'd like to mention is that if we are to buy from Bookeen, we must be able to buy in 200 or more unit purchases, which is why we're asking that you go to our sign-up page and let us know you're interested to learn more. When we know more, we'll send you email notification. This sign-up is *NOT* a commitment to buy, just an indication of interest.

So please sign up.
