Please help me identify manufacturer/device!

I noticed an ebook reader offered at a local electronics (office) store here in Greece. They tend to OEM (re-sell) products under their "TurboX" brand. I would like to identify the manufacturer of the device so that I can evaluate the software/hardware etc. The store here doesn't provide many details.

The price is pretty good for Europe - about 260 euros. Although I haven't been following prices too much - perhaps someone can let me know if this is a reasonable price for a 6" eink reader? Remember that I am in Europe, so US prices can't be compared, although mail-order within Europe is an option.

I do not know what accessories it comes with except a USB cable (and A/C charger?). I'd like to know about PC-side software is needed, if any, and if I can use folders (the images do tend to suggest that). The one brochure states that it displays: ePub, PDF, TXT, RTF, HTML, (DRM)FB2 or Mobibook PRC. I don't understand the "OR" but the salesperson knew next to nothing.

There is an attached PDF file with views of the device, it has a pleasing rubbery cover to avoid slips. I've been thinking about buying a 6" eink device - to evaluate the difference with the jetBook (5", reflective LCD screen).

Thank you for any assistance with this!
