We think too much alike, JSWolf, or we watched too many of the same re-runs growing up, I'm not sure which.

Looks like more pics are available: http://hightech.afmag.net/a-new-read...y-bookeen.html
I actually like the mangapic http://hightech.afmag.net/a-new-read...reading-manga/ If it's not "processed" image, the clearity is VERY good compared to the reader. (but not good enough for me to ditch my 3 weeks old reader though) Reading this "battery included", does this means it has -gasp- removable batteries? Don't really understand this though: "Dark brown leather case (optional)" and then later in the box "Leather case (Deluxe version)" So there's a deluxe and a normal version or something? Edit: I see the pics are available at the homepage of bookeen too. Last edited by athlonkmf; 06-21-2007 at 05:10 AM. |

That's the way I interpret it too, that there's to be a deluxe edition available with extra goodies, but that the leather case can also be purchased separately. Makes sense for them to do that, actually -- otherwise they'd lose some sales from folks who want the leather case, but not an extra "guess what" brand 1GB SD card. They don't seem to say anything to indicate it here, but I'd expect they'll sell the 'charger' (some kind of cradle, perhaps) from the deluxe edition separately too. |

with it's glare and stuff. However... i'd imagine they would do a contrasting technique on it anyway. And of course... if you put the reader in a lightbox which has a great lighting, the screen would looks 3000x better too. Quote:

I think I've got to buy one, just because I'm a gadget collector - but I don't think I'll be ditching my Sony; not after all that hard work in putting together nice books for it!
Unless I've missed something, they've still not told us what formats will be supported, have they? |

I also have my doubts as to why they'd take an image that managed to capture the display well, and then go play with the shadows around that image -- I mean why bother? Why would they even see a need to? All my opinion, of course. Quote:
I haven't seen one on this iteration, but the NAEB folks are reporting: RTF, HTML, PDF and PRC (Mobipocket sans DRM). I'd expect this one to be somewhere in that neighborhood, anyway. At a guess, it'll probably do Mobi DRM too, since Bookeen has a Mobi based e-bookstore. |

And you can't just buy a spare battery on release now, because it will wear out even without being used (lithium). Last edited by athlonkmf; 06-21-2007 at 09:22 AM. |

Well, clearly, one is spelled right and the other is not.
See, you lot only think I can spell because FireFox catches most of my errors, I'm actually an poorly-educated 3rd-grader masquerading as an adult! (No, not really ) |

But the SLR digital cameras, on the other hand, are getting better and better, I may have to go shopping again before too long. |

I'll see if I can make some better pics when I really write my "Reading manga on the Sony Reader"-review (I just find the ones I found not comprehensive enough... I still had doubts when reading those) Last edited by athlonkmf; 06-21-2007 at 09:49 AM. |
