Any News on the A6 or A9?
Does anyone know whether the A6 or A9 is available yet?
I guess it would be too much to ask if it was available in Oz. They don't seem to have landed on the DA direct site yet. Any clues to a release date? |

There is a hold up on the SiPix screens which is delaying the introduction of several ebook readers, including the A6 and A9.

On Lbook website they say their A6 will be sold retail in Russia in July-August, and A9 in september. At the moment...
I don't believe it, of course. |

What if it would be a market strategy to make interested people more anxious to these products so they would sell them with an high price at the start and being sure lots of them will buy it and manufacturers would make lots of money?...
Guess it's a possible scenario...due for chairman's revelations about the problem already solved and he resigned... |

I noticed on the Jinke website they have under Products (not Product Plan) the V60 which looks like the A6. No price, but given it is on that page I doubt it will very long before it is up for sale.

The Russian guys at Lbook posted this:
http://lbook.ua/ru/news/sensor Automatic translation by Google: "Draft e-books lbook A9 and lbook A6 based Sipix screens suspended. Dear customers! AUO (producer Sipix screens) reported a delay in mass production of screens until July-August 2010. A pre-sale test screens in our plant showed that Sipix technology is not yet ready for active work in electronic books. Please note that until the solution of technological problems in AUO, lbook will not release e-books A6 and A9. Sincerely project lbook" |
