What particularly caught my eye was the inclusin of Sony’s BBeB format (or am I wrong that BBeB is a Sony proprietary format?). Isn’t this odd for a non-Sony device?

Better than the K2?

Really?

I bet it has the same crappy light as was used by the now deceased Sony model that was rather widely disparaged.

All these eink readers are really just variations on a theme. They use the same screens and logic controller so it really just becomes a matter of price and aesthetics.

I welcome the next “Kindle-killer”. It’s a game of hopscotch. It will just serve to advance the game.

The one thing I do really like about this Brazilian ereader riff is that it does match my refrigerator!

Well, they are saying it will be launched on june 2010… hope they have a real product and are not just advertising to seek for investors. But Brazil is the land where everything is possible – same chances to be another “Plastic Logic” unit, never released and always delayed, or to really be a great e-reader.

This is going to get hacked for english, like the librie.

that finally looks like the 1.0 of a lite-book reader
