those ukranians rule! at a first glance, they will have exactly what i need in a reader: big screen (a4), good pdf support, touchscreen, annotation, open firmware (or at least good firmware support). i wanna get one but cannot wait until september or later. probably i will buy a crappy irex 800 or a decent sony prs-900 which could be sold to purchase the pocketbook
later edit: i was also excited about the irex dr800 when the first announcements came out and now i'm quite disappointed by it, so there's a chance that the same thing will happen with the pocketbook
