hallo here ! i am an italian waiting mentor 9.7 to come , in italy of course !!!!
i was reading the last news about this ebook reader going up and down here, thanking Mr Robertb for these news. I was reading about light on mentor and about the cover . Why not to insert a sun cell inside the upper face of the cover to refresh battery when we are far from home plug ? and lats question, for now ( eheheh ) : will be Mentor read/write device or only read ? by the way i will need Mentor for work use , but also during holidays.......................... best regards to all from north east italy Antonio |

Ah -- that's interesting. Have you noticed whether the number of "US only" books in their listing has reduced at all?

But conceptually this is a new DRM scheme. And since they have full control they kan change it anytime.

Most all of the specifications with some errors corrected are in the wiki article EB-900. Of course this is the Netronix version and may not reflect some Astak changes but I think it is still to early to nail these specifications in place. I, for example, expect more memory in the device since this has already happened to the 6 inch version.

Yes, certainly. The Astak is a rebadged Netronix machine.
