Photos of reading devices on the IFA fair in Berlin

"Boersenblatt", Germany's publication for the publishing industry presents two photo galleries which provide a nice overview of most of the presented devices at the current IFA trade fair for consumer electronics in Berlin.

So, for anyone not being able to attend at the IFA, enjoy.

Number 6 is nice. I like the glowing eye in the middle of the navigator control...spooky.

And what's with the weird language that nobody understands?

Sehr interressant ! The Acer doesn't look that bad actually, and there was some device which looked like an Kindle, but from an unheard company.

Some Chinese companies are shameless...

That's gone on for years. Perhaps it's best that way though, as that particular design is far, far better than most of the homebrew stuff Chinese companies have come up with on their own.

I remember that some months ago a Chinese car company had the nerve to show a car model which is a FIAT car model carbon copy. The European Union Commission banned its sale in Europe, of course.
The Chinese firm declared that FIAT imitated them, even though the European model car was marketed years before the Chinese copy. Maybe they didn't hear your argument: they could have taken it.

p.s.: maybe you didn't notice the screenshot, too.

Acer's build quality in general is horrendous though.
