Sure..

532MHz for an ereader is more than enough, no need to upgrade. Upgrading means we only have to charge a higher price! Kindle 2 only uses 532MHz too for your reference.

thanks for the info! And from its specifications, its dimensions are like the large pocketbooks: uncanny!

Kindle 3 could hardly be a reference.
By the time M90 is out, it would be almost one year on the market.
I just find it strange that the M90's smaller brother (Onyx Boox A61S) gets a 800 MHz processor.

Do we know finally what screen this thing has?

That is not Onyx but a distributor. They are a little early with their page. The information as listed there is not final.

You should change the name of your shop really.... "discounter" means cheaper than list price, not more expensive !

very interesting!!The device though looks very nice(in video and pics).

The page shows a different processor than the video by charbax.
Is the release still May?

One more question: Does extra VAT get added in UK even if ordered within Europe?
The order page shows a Tax of 63.71 which I assume is EU VAT.
(meaning is my final price: 399EU+20%VAT)

I may be wrong, but these figures also work out as 19% VAT on a basic price of €335.29, making the total €399 including VAT (which is 19% in the Netherlands, where the distributor is based).

My apologies for the trouble.

I did a little more search and found this:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/tax-and-duty.htm#3

Import VAT
...
For goods brought in or sent to the UK from the EU there's no extra VAT to pay unless you're ordering or sending purchased goods from one of the EU Special Territories, such as Jersey or Guernsey, in which case you'll have to pay Import VAT.

Now seriously considering doing the preorder.

Are the processor specs true in this page?
800mhz is more modern day and gives more freedom to 3rd party extensions.
Heard anything through your grapevine?

These are EU rules and €399.00 appears to be the final price with VAT included. Normally the seller charges the VAT of a seller's country. However, if a seller exceeds the threshold of exports to the UK, then he is obliged to charge UK VAT rate instead (in this case the final price would be €3.35 higher).
