the music is annoying.

great find!

Interesting, it would be nice to know price and expected release date for this product.

EDIT: Nvm, wrong info =(

Does it support DRM'd versions of PDF, Mobi, ePub? At the same time? Or, just DRM'd ePub & PDF and unprotected Mobi?

Dulin's Books · 03-02-2010, 02:10 PM

you cannot support both DRM's at the same time MOBI does not allow it.

This is the same format list as existing Netronix devices using Netronix firmware (e.g. the Cool-er Classic). Only Adobe DRM (ePub and PDF) is supported, with DRM-free MOBI.

So is this different from the upcoming Pocketbook 900 series? Didn't Netronix and Pocketbook merge a while back?

Yeah, they did merge to create PocketBook Global, and I was wondering the same thing too. But the devices don't look at all similar. Here's the video for the 901 from a thread a while ago.

Netronix also has a second 9.7" ereader listed on their site, the E90600. It has a 2.8" TFT touchscreen beneath the E Ink screen similar to the nook, or so it appears.

The PocketBook 901s from the video is a very early prototype of case. It was literally rapid prototyped for a project with the Russian Minister of Education to show what could be possible for textbooks. Don't expect it to be the final design- it could be but don't expect it.

Also because they are merged means that the PocketBook brand can have a design that isn't available to the market for rebranding

I think the most important part of this device is the flexible display

Dulin's Books · 03-03-2010, 06:16 PM

yes

That screen refresh speed looks incredible!
After seeing some other new 9-10" screens recently with as much as a full second between page refreshes, this looks far advanced. Generally I'm not a fan of the stylus devices, but if this came out at a $300 price point (I'm sure it would be cheap) it would be pretty appealing.

But that music... eww. These tech companies need to pay for some decent marketers.

harryE123 · 09-05-2010, 12:12 AM

another vapourware, was it?

MR. Pockets · 09-05-2010, 12:24 AM

Still shows up here. But it does look slightly different. And still no sign of a release date...

harryE123 · 09-05-2010, 12:34 AM

thanks. I see. Vapourware for sure. The longest running vapourware on this site btw this netronix reader... btw, let me just say who annoyed I am by people coming up with devices, some of them not even on a prototype stage, just to create hype around them so they can then push some inferior product and of course not their vapourware that they damn well knew it was never going to materialize...
