Hmm....sounds like improved versions of 901.
That's ok for me.

Well, the 901 is essentially used as a textbook for schools. Not really a nice design, no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no integrated bookstore if you get my drift. These models are looking way cooler, too.

In other words: a Large-format 360.
Something to read on.
Which is exactly what *I* wanted.

I'll have to check the (rumored) specsheets on the 902 but I'm not finding this announcement particularly thrilling.

Well, it looks like 901 is really barebone reader. Missing Wifi, Bluetooth, integrated bookstore, fancy case might mean very low price. This is what many people look for.
A 9 inch e-ink reader with a rock-bottom price.

For price that is low enough, I would even tolerate case in Fisher-price colors - bright red, bright yellow, bright blue, and not just a few colorful buttons ;-).

In other words, what good is cool look for me if I can't afford the device?

Wasn't the idea to have a cheap no-frills 901 and more expensive 902?

In the german board someone from Pocketbook is speaking about around 450 Euro (but definitely under 500 Euro) for the PB 903 and under 400 Euro for PB 902. The PB 603 should be priced under 300 Euro.

this seems pretty expensive given all the recent price drops. I was looking at the 901, so I guess it would have to be the 902 now. but 400 Euro is $505 USD right now. that's about the same as the iPad, and the Kindle DX is only $379 - doesn't compare too favorably
