You can say what color you want to make it interesting. Keep in mind the coupon was in the store and expires in DEC 10 so it has to be out within that time.

$119/Aug20/Yellow

I will only count price in whole numbers. Release date will be the official day Ectaco announces anything.

I think it will be a good idea to make a poll for it

They may have to announce sooner rather than later with this leak, so I say $99/July 23rd/Orange. (And the screen will be smaller than 5 inches.)

$119/August 2/black

Hmm... if they could put up an ad on the Update or Download page on
22Jul, they might get some more exposure than normal.

$120

If you hold your JBL up and compare to the picture it seems, in my opinion, that we are looking at the same screen size, maybe just a "simplified" user interface.

Take a JBL and cut the buttons on the bottom off.
Then convert the side 0-9 keys to a set of <, *, and > controls (hmm, android anyone?).
Now imagine running your JBL with all functions accessed through a "home" ( * ) click and then scrolling through options with < and > presses and then selecting the option with another * click.

I hope someone just thinks about allowing the user to flip the screen so the buttons can be right-side or left-side.

$99/Dec1/Green

Solicitous · 07-17-2010, 09:11 AM

1 Oct/$99/Black.

I think the market is waiting for a $99 ereader, and I think this will be e-ink not LCD (for whatever reason LCD ereaders have all but slowed to a halt in terms of new product releases).

November 1, $99, green; I agree on the under $100 reader the market needs. I'm sure it will be under 5" screen, and out in time for Christmas sales.

I use AA Energizer lithium batteries with my jetBook-Lite when I travel and JBL works with these batteries almost 3 times longer than with my Sony RECHARGEABLE NIMH. Yes, it is more expensive but you don't think about batteries for a long time...

August 17th, $89.99, and green or orange!
