The Hanvon C920 should still be avaible in china but you shouldn't consider it even if the firmware is better. the display is simply too gray and dark!

Pocketbook is releasing the color lux, an 8 inch color reader with frontlight and touchscreen, at the end of june. The frontlight could help the bad readibility and also against the darkness/greyness od the screen. I think they are releasing it in such a small size because frontlight is too uneven on larger displays. PB is known for its very good software by the way!

Also Hanvon has the E920 Reader, its the same as the C920 but without the color.layer. It has a normal (and good) b/w pearl screen with 200 dpi (1600x1200). This one also has the capacitive touch

I am thinking about importing one.
