I certianly agree with many of the above comments. The pictured device is, as advertised, a prototype. From a firmware/software perspective it might be close to what we could consider a "real product." But, from a mechanical design perspective it's not there -- the button placement is not viable, page turning is non-obvious, no touch input, et al.

So, while potentially interesting -- allowing us to experiment with new platforms and technologies and demonstrate some of our forthcoming standards work (http://www.ebooktechnologies.com/press_2007050901.htm) -- it's not a product!
