Anyone knows this reader (AGK)?

One of the biggest retail chains in Denmark (Bilka) is starting to sell this reader.

It's the first e-ink based player i have spotted in a B&M store in Denmark. the price is 1679DKR (295$ incl vat) next week, which seems to be a fair price.
Is is a rebranded reader. Does anyone know the full specification. Cant find anything about firmware releases on the site, but if its a rebranded reader that could explain it

I don't know this for a fact, but I'd be willing to bet that the OEM on this e-reader is Gajah. The screen is showing a menu that's identical to one I've seen on Gajah's e-reader.

I've also seen that e-reader in a couple other countries (Russia, for example).

nice looking reader but it only say it has 8 level of greyscale. Most are 16 levels and now with the new Pearl e-Ink screen, 8 levels will be wash out.

I saw the ad in the Bilka reklamer - thought it was a bit expensive. Bog & Ide sell Elonex and BeBook readers for about the same price I think.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know they sell e-readers. The Elonex 621 is about the same price but the Bebook neo is a massive 2895DKR. I wonder what justifies that insane price. Well the Elonex seems more interesting than the unkown AGK, so i think i will take a look at it
