I've seen them advertised when I did a Google search because I noticed there were no Basic Lux 2's for sale at the usual sites. I'm glad to see they're not dropping the line. I have an original Basic Lux (PB615) -- the Russian version without WiFi. I like its simplicity, but I would like the ability to drop an .ascm file into it and let it download the book. I considered buying a Basic Lux 2 (but never did because common sense prevailed). I'm really not in the market for one but I like that the option will still be there. (I actually like the size and feel of the older PocketBooks a bit better so, if I could find the original Basic Lux used, I would probably pick it up.)

I wonder if the Touch HD line will also be upgraded?

I hope they will also release new 8" reader soon, as my Inkpad 3 screen broke few months ago.
