I am looking forward to reading your review of it!

I placed the pre-order, so hopefully they'll ship these soon! Yes, I'll share some impressions when it gets here.

I still think it looks a little bulky, but I guess those are necessary sacrifices for side buttons and speakers. Here's hoping it'll run Moon+ or at least CC.

Oh no, Mivo! What a sad way for the Kobo Glo to go

Mivo · 11-27-2013, 04:41 AM

Mhm, it was pretty unfortunate since I always felt it was pretty sturdy. It was under the blanket, I dropped down on the bed, and the Glo cracked in the middle (I actually don't fully understand why -- I wasn't exactly jumping on it and the mattress/blanket should have protected it) . Oh well, it did make pre-ordering the V6L an easy decision, and now I'm excitedly looking forward to a new toy! Still, the Glo was definitely my favorite reader, and if the V6L disappoints, I'll get myself the new Aura for Christmas.

Seems like it might already be for sale here in France, as the It Works ET602.

It's definitely the same case. However, the ET602 specs says 800x600 px, whereas the V6L is 1024x758 px.

Does anyone know the weight and dimensions of the V6L?

I haven't heard from the company yet, and they didn't ship anything. "Late November" was probably too optimistic an estimate!

Homunkulus · 12-03-2013, 07:45 AM

According to an Facebook answer they already shipping readers since the end of last week...

They said that all preorders will be shipped until the end of december..

I don't know why this takes so long?

I would love to get one of these but lately I find I use my phone more to read on than my Kindle. My phone is always on me, always ready. Maybe I'll get a larger phone instead.

I dropped them an email yesterday and I received (on a Saturday) an answer within amazing ten minutes. The customer support person wrote that they are shipping them out in the order that the pre-orders were received and that everyone who did pre-order will definitely get the device before the end of the month. So, I'm semi-patiently waiting for mine.

I hope it comes soon, and that you are very happy with it!

Homunkulus · 12-23-2013, 03:27 AM

Any (good) news?

Has anyone got their device?

Peleke · 01-04-2014, 03:11 AM

I have the device but it is my first eReader so I don't know what is good or normal etc...

It is great to hear that you have recieved the device. Obviously you cannot compare it with other e-readers, but any observations that you have on it (what you like, don't like, etc.) would be very interesting to hear about.
