Even if you don't speak German interesting to watch ...

If you don't understand German, this video really has nothing to offer as what you see (is nothing special) needs to be accompanied by the whatever is being said.

Commander Matting is using our demo devices

Nice to see them in the video. I just dont know where he gets 30.000 german ebook titles. If anyone knows, please tell me.

Can someone translate the video into English?

@JSWolf:

You will have to take my word for it, but:

Translating the audio would not really be worth the trouble.

Ok

Thats no fair answer.

Its just a piece for people who didn't come into contact with such devices yet and that leaves them wondering as follows:

"Uh ah, didn't know that something like this existed. Interesting. But at that pricetags ? What for? Get a fine new laptop for 600,- EUR or one of those eee pc thingies for 300,- EUR. Can do other things beside reading on them. Naw, nothing for me ... Hasn't even colour screen."

The speaker just centers on the aspect of amount of possible content in relation to the mass of the devices.

Not one remark about e-ink and the displays, powermanagement and the important bit for the average new user: "Where and how do i get ebooks on this device, then ?"

No info about tech and specs or anything concerning the global, european or german market whatsoever.

So you didn't miss anything important there.
