You forgot to mention some important differences:
Regarding device:
1. scope of delivery: Amazon(Poland) = just device only. Ereader-Store = Device+Cover+Charger
2. Warranty: Amazon(Poland) = 1 year, Ereader-Store =2 years.

Regarding former and future updates: I am not only posting updates, I am also actively taking part on developing of those updates. I guess, if I would drop it, you would probably see 1-2 minor updates per year and wouldn't see some new really interesting features (especially in PDF Reader software) at all.

I really appreciate my customers for not hunting bargains and for supporting/encouraging our efforts.

Noted. I bought from your store and am very happy with my purchase.

I just wanted to say thanks again to all who have posted.

I notice that Amazon (yesterday) only had 2 T68s left, but I imagine they'll quickly restock them.

It appears to be selling very briskly, for a new-type Android/eInk hybrid device.

I really love the screen on my Kobo Aura HD, so I'm very much attracted to this same screen being on the T68.


ADDED: In checking Amazon just a moment ago, I see they are now sold out. Not to worry: It'll be back.

I still don't see it. On the apps screen the menu gives me three choices - Sort By, Manage, and Delete. If I go to Manage, the only menu there is Sort by size.

There should be a "Settings" app amongst all the other apps that are on your T68; this is were you enter into the magical world of the standard Android settings-menu.

On the home-screen you'll find a few icons on the bottom, one of which is also named "Settings"; this leads you to the T68 specific settings-menu.

The pull-down menu on the status-bar will only lead you to the T68-settings, and is always app-specific.

No, there isn't one. Not on the Artatech version of the T68, at least.

The vast majority of the items on the standard Android "Settings" menu are, on the Artatech, on the "Settings" menu that you access from the drop-down menu at the top right of the home page.

There are some very important ones missing. One is the ability to change the system font size. I thought in 4.0 and above there was a setting in Display for small, normal, large, and huge, not just huge like in the Accessibility menu which is all there is in the real Android menu here. Another is in wifi advanced settings - Network notification was checked for me. I think that's why when I forgot to turn wifi off overnight it used up all my battery.

Hello,

I've got my T68 as a gift and do not know where it was bought.
What to do to know if it is a Artatech Lynx or a Booxtor.

Thanks for your help

It's a Lynx if it has a picture of a Lynx on the screen when it's powered off. Simple as that.
