Wizpac txtr reader announced - the Kindle killer?
![]() Quote:
I dug further and found evidence that this reader should support PDF, HTML, Office, and ePub among other e-book formats and that also a developer API is planned with support for on-device 3rd party applications. Alright, let's take this all with a grain of salt, but should this reader come into existence, it could be a real Kindle/Sony/you-name-it killer for what it matters. |

I don't like the fact that there's no status information on the display itself - especially page numbers. Maybe this can be customized, but, if not, it would annoy me to not know what page I was on without having to access the menu.

You have to have the sense to look, first. What else would you expect from Crunchgear? If it's not standard equipment on an SUV, or good to eat during the Superbowl, it's a miracle they've even heard of it...

I don't think so. The company behind it (Wizpac) is real. I also heard (business development Ulrik Deichsel) that the txtr reader is supposed to come out in Q3 2009 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland first. Supposedly they invested around 1 million Euro so far in the project.
