Looks pretty crap. I guess if you are desperate for buttons then you take what you can get but everyone else would be far better off with a Kindle or a Kobo.

I don't see what is crap about it, I think the database and library system on the kobo is pretty crap.

I appreciate that no dictionaries may put some people off (there aren't any, but whether or not they can be installed remains to be seen), but for me they are not neccesary.

Dictionaries included in e-readers are a big plus for me and one of the specificities of ebook reading that makes it a different experience from normal reading as well as an interesting one.

Have a good day.

Personally I use my reader for just that; normal reading.

Third edit...After reading the manual and seeing nothing about wifi, I've just realised that the manual is for a different model. Off to find the correct one...

LOL, yes. Especially if I'm buying from overseas and can't see it for myself in a shop first.

There is an interesting discussion (in Spanish) going on at http://forokd.com/showthread.php/105...us-Illumina-HD - The gist being that it is probably a rebadged onyx, one of the commenters says that they will be lent one by a friend, and will post his views soon...
I will keep an eye on that.

It's definitely not a rebranded Onyx. Both the form factor and the firmware are too different from other Onyx models.

I'd bet this is a slightly modified Gmini model - compare with this one. Made in Korea.

You are right, they certainly look very similar indeed.

There is a video at http://www.nomobile.ru/reviews/196353.html - the more I see, the more I like this device.

Nothing new in this review really (it is not a well done review either, but gooereader reviews never are). It's a basic reader, not complicated, not quick either, with a good set of specs for the entrance level of the e-reader market. It cannot do anything apart from reading. If this is what you want, go for it, but the real estate is really big...
