Excellent details, LVD! Any word on when this one will be released? Or where it'll be available?

LVD · 05-08-2007, 09:42 AM

The beginning of sales July 2007. The Retail price in Ukraine 240 euros!

NatCh · 05-08-2007, 11:24 AM

Will it be available in the U.S., do you know?

LVD · 05-08-2007, 12:16 PM

Yes, we plan in September- October to sell this device in U.S.
This there will be more functional unit with the sensory screen WaCom and module WiFi

NatCh · 05-08-2007, 12:26 PM

Excellent, I'm glad to see these starting to get some traction internationally.

Believe it when I see it. I've seen to many readers that "are coming to the US" that just never seem to arrive.

CommanderROR · 05-08-2007, 02:41 PM

same for the EU on many devices...^^

I'd like to get some details on formats and battery-life...especially how the page-count is calculated and whether you have to switch the device off to get a month of battery...

Or better...just send me a sample...

LVD · 05-09-2007, 04:27 AM

We await our models from the plant at the end of May. During June we want to send out them for the testing. I will compulsorily place one in the reserve for you. ---- There can be small delay in the production of first party, approximately 2 weeks.

CommanderROR · 05-09-2007, 05:11 AM

There can always be delays LVD...nobody knows that better than an Iliad owner...^^

Robert Marquard · 05-09-2007, 05:19 AM

Hopping up and down to get a sample device for free :-)
You never know. It may work. I can alternatively offer chicken sacrifice.

I see some sane design decisions. No fancy WLAN or Bluetooth which only drains the battery. Also no high-speed USB for the same reason. The SD cards are good enough to transfer bigger amounts of data.

simond · 05-09-2007, 06:12 AM

Are there any plans to sell in the UK, or at least make it easily available here?

nekokami · 05-10-2007, 08:13 AM

I'd be happy to organize focus group usability testing on non-technical users in the U.S. I can get you written reports from 20 users -- all ages, different levels of computer experience, all people who love books and could be very interested in this device-- if you can provide a test unit. I've done usability focus group work professionally. PM me if interested.

Edit: Also, I work at a university, so I can show it to faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students, etc. I think there will be a lot of interest.

Hey Neko! You can find your people here!

nekokami · 05-10-2007, 09:05 AM

Yvan, I live in the northeast US. It's not impossible... but I'm not making the drive.
