Looks promising. I like the layout of the buttons ... though I keep wondering if the bottom is actually the best place for a page turner - the way I hold my ebook I often feel it would be better at the top ....

I tried to decipher what is written on the sample screen. Some interesting bits:
- "BeBook supports the most ebook formats from pdf, mobi, lit, epub, doc, html, txt, prc, fb2, jpg files to over 300,000 of *free* rss newsfeeds." - "No shopping limitations: buy or download books, news or magazines anywhere (anywhere!) and read them on your Bebook!" - "512MB internal memory and SD card slot" - "open software standard (lifetime firmware updates are free!)" |

I can't wait to find out more. I'm on the verge of buying the current 'old' model - do I really need the extra features? 3G might be nice, but can I actually use it for something in Denmark? What if the price drops on the old model? When will it be out and what will the price be? So many questions...

I was hoping for a bigger screen...
But I like the design. |

I've given them a short visit and talked a little with their CEO. Unfortunately he didn't allow me to take pictures...

That touch screen looks a lot whiter and crisper than my PRS700, are you sure the contrast isn't so good? Maybe it's the side-lighting on the 700 that causes the degradation.
WDE. |

Thanks for the heads-up, Thomas. Why would they not want to have pictures taken if it's on display anyhow? Doesn't make sense.

Plus note taking with a stylus. Sounds promising, and sounds like they've been listening to consumers. |

Do I take it this is a completely new product built by Bebook, rather than a re-badging of someone else's design?
