iRex 800 = € 499
Sony 900 = $ 399
BeBook Neo = € 299

For a U.S. customer, it breaks down like this:
iRex 800 = $399
Sony 900 = $399
BeBook Neo = $299
If the screens were the same size, I would almost certainly prefer the feature set of the Neo. Unfortunately, a 6" screen won't cut it for technical books. Tables = nightmares.
I wonder if Fry's will carry it...they do carry the other BeBooks, which I thought were ugly as hell. This one is definitely not.
Any idea what they really mean by: "The open architecture of the BeBook Neo ereader makes it possible to expand its capabilities." Has BeBook had any community participation in their firmware in the past?
Have you tried downloading an ePub using calibre server on the Neo? Does it work? Thanks!!
