Well it appears to be eInk. I don't see any solar charging and it's 300dpi. So no big leap forward there. The only thing seems to be stressing the thinness - on the side without the buttons.

What....

Not sure im a fan of that wedged shaped and it is super thin on one half but then thicker than the voyage on the other?

Oh and no liquavista...may it forever rest in peace

I hope it has the new i.mx 7 and the new eink regal 2,if its just a voyage in a wedge shape this is one massive fail

I think it says it weighs 131 grams, now thats LIGHT,maybe its on a plastic substrate?

odd shape to that back must be to house the battery. reversible . interesting lack of symmetry.

Looks like size option disappointment

It also looks like the cover (extra battery I guess) is adding back the thickness anyway, the way it clips to the reader.

I think that "bits" are page-turn buttons and there is a G-sensor assisting it to rotate screen. btw, that cover is rechargable.

If it has a flexible substrate, I'm getting one. We shall have to wait for some details in English.

It's very hard to do a rigid device that's so thin, so I'm hoping for a plastic substrate.

A shame about the lack of a Liquavista display, but I'm pleased to see physical buttons, and I rather like the asymmetry - it give a way to hold it easily one-handed.

I tried Google translate but it didn't work.

Sorry i edited my post if you look closely you can this this is a well managed shot hiding the wedge with the two page button faintly visable to the far left,if it didn't have the wedge i'd be all over the thin design.

Yes i think it has to be,it also weighs 131 grams which i think would be impossible to achieve with a glass cover.

Seeing as i dropped my PW3 down the stairs last week which left a nasty crack in the middle of the screen this will be a welcome improvement.

It looks like no audible features or anything extra,looks like kindles will stay as ereaders ,who would of thought

That's what I'm waiting for. Until we get this feature, my ereaders stay indoors.
