OH!....OH! A right handed device? They must be sick!...So am I.

IV is that april or is it what I need to survive until it gets here?

You're pulling our leg LVD ! Stop stalling! That's a pretty good CAD drawing. C'mon spit it out!

Google gives me bupkiss.

Looks like Phillips designing!

IV is the fourth quarter, I assume. And all lBooks so far are just OEM versions of Jinke, so I assume this one will be theirs too.

This could be the tipping point, if they can get quality and volume up. But something is going to have to give in the DRM world.

Yup, but at the same time, we're in a place we've never been before: instead of the lack of content and the lack of (perceived) decent hardware pushing against each other to form a huge obstacle, they're both crumbling and the drip is moving from trickle towards actual flow. I think the e-babel thing and the DRM thing are going to start to erode toward genuine solutions (don't pardon the pun

) to those issues.

I don't say that it'll happen quickly, but I think we should continue to see at least some movement there.

Steve Jobs coming out against DRM in music may help a bit. Maybe.

Yes, it while the concept. To us interestingly your opinion

The FrontLight-panel demountable, is installed only when in it there is a necessity. Except for illumination the FrontLight-panel can provide additional protection of the eINK-screen

NatCh · 02-09-2007, 01:12 AM

I like the idea, I've always liked the idea of an optional built in front light, so no surprise there.

nekokami · 02-09-2007, 08:34 AM

The first post says a 6" screen, the later post says 12" high. Which is it?

If it is 12" high, could there be an optional touchscreen of some kind that could be used instead of the light guide? I think the light guide is a great idea, but I really want pen input to make notes on documents.

yvanleterrible · 02-09-2007, 08:48 AM

Neko! I think the #12 on the drawing refers to the number of programmable buttons. It's a 6 incher.

If you look at the basic disposition of controls, the unit can be turned 180degrees, permitting left or right handed controls. Brilliant design. An other feature, the "bulge", permits holding with a wider part of the hand instead of finger tips; longer read time without discomfort.

This one looks good

I like the design and it has the first reasonable price for an e-ink reader, I have seen !
