Yes that appears to be what they did . And I see that as a sign that PB is trying to be as competitive as they can be, which I appreciate and applaud

229 euros is much too much.

Please wait till the retail prices will be announced. I guess you will be in for a surprise there.

And our new models have been renewed from the ground up, not only the Netronix shells.

That Facebook page sure is interesting:

Now, this is flabbergasting! Does this mean, the Orizon is able to play Flash?

Oh, well, we all lose someday, don't we?

Quote:
Bookeen the European leader of the ebook reader market (...)
A claim likely to being challenged since the Ukraine and Western Russia are also part of Europe and I would like to see sales numbers of both Bookeen and Pocketbook compared.

Quote:
Bookeen will bring every local Book catalogue to the Cybook Orizon
Now, how do they actually intend to do that?

Quote:
The same set will be rolled out at the end of the year in many European countries, such as Italy and Spain.
I hope they don't forget smaller states like Germany or UK ... well, to each his own priority.

Probably not
Flash is crap anyway. On that I second steve jobs.

K-Thom, I do really think that Sony is the European leader market, to say nothing of Amazon.

The swedish distributor has promised to show me the Orizon on thursday, the first day of the book fair.
I'll get back with some more info and pictures then.

I seem to read a lot of comments of missing specs from this or that ereader. "This one has only Wifi, where as that one has Wifi and Bluetooth". Or "that one has folder and this one don't". And so on.

One thing to remember is that a lot of people don't want too many functions on an ereader. They seem to want it simple.
And some want it all - touch, notes, annotations, Wifi, bluetooth, 8TB memory, 3G, epub, mobi, doc, excel, colourdisplay, 9,7" and it should fit in my backpocket ...

I'm guessing it'll take a few more weeks for some company to come up with a model that "has it all"

Take care all,

Mange

Are Bookeen and Pocketbook as antagonized as companies as their users are? Every Bookeen thread has the menace of a Pocketbook comparison elsewhere, it's even funny

I am not antagonistic at all to Bookeen. I even had a Gen 3 and loved it.
