Oh well, great minds think alike.

Heh, from one of their replies in the comments
"We are upgrading everyone from the six inch device to this one."

Looks like they officially abandoned their ultimate ereader.

Onyx?


So basically an Onyx Boox Max?
And, once again, a flexible campaign, so they get to keep the money if they don't reach their goal.

Do you mean, is the fund-raiser based in Sweden? Because we've been expressing doubts about whether anything is being manufactured anywhere, for this project.

[Also, I'm not certain which you were asking ... ]

Someone has asked the Tweedles an interesting question:

Quote:
I read up on “Flex Funding” and I’m confused: it seems to be for campaigns that can deliver perks even if the goal isn’t reached. If you ended up getting just 55 orders for whatever reason, would those 55 units be produced and delivered or, being short of 60, would we write off our US$700? It really seems to me like this was a clear case for fixed funding. I love this project, but I can’t risk that much money if there’s any possibility of not getting the product. :-/
Can't wait for the reply...

Sweden is the traditional source of tools that enlarge other things...usually for males who think that their things are not large enough...Clearly, the GoodEReader people have discovered that no one was interested in their small thing, so now they are trying to enlarge it.

I think that in this case, they'll discover that size doesn't matter.

Here's a book on the subject:
