And to get back on topic, does the Cool-er support ePub's DRM? |

I know we don't like DRM. But having it means it's a viable product.

The video posted on the Cool-er says it is made of plastic. I don't know if that's good or bad. |

Still too costly!
A much better price than other eReaders but still too costly. Under $100 and you will start getting critical mass of buyers to really make eReaders take off. (Think cellphones - the free, .01 or even under $20 deals - now everyone seems to have a cell phone)

It will be interesting to compare jetBook plastic body with Cool-er. Let's wait when it will be available...

Maybe it will be more popular when eReaders will be available for free with some ebook subscription like cell phones with 1 or 2 years plan

shipping date?
Someone probably asked already, but do they have a definative shipping date for the product yet? On the website it looks like you can order it now, but is it in production? It says your credit card will be charged when it ships.

According to the techcrunch video, the hardware's ready now but they're holding off two weeks to revise the firmware.

Creative numbering
Quote:
Maybe they are doing some creative numbering by calling every format of a book as 1 book, so if you had a book in 3 formats, it would be 3 books, instead of 1? Amy |
