I'm seeing a price of 229.99 which I presume is Euros?

chrisridd · 08-09-2016, 01:19 PM

Is there any sign of the essential covers?

Not yet. The first cover will probably be Kobo's cover.

patrik · 08-09-2016, 01:57 PM

Any indication if it's still using the ix6 cpu?

JSWolf · 08-09-2016, 02:11 PM

No idea on the processor. That's not part of the information.

yes!
So 230 to perhaps 250 dollar at most for the USA I think.

Nice price

fjtorres · 08-09-2016, 02:24 PM

Sooo close.
I'd trade the waterproofing for an SD card slot.
Then I'd be drooling.

Cosimo · 08-09-2016, 02:59 PM

I don't like the button placement on the back. It makes me question what the cover is going to look like.

jkrzok · 08-09-2016, 03:03 PM

I find the chess icon to be interesting.

Forgive a very minor correction, but this device is using a 20cm eInk screen (all eInk screen are exact numbers in cm). 20cm is actually 7.9", not 7.8". It's the same size as the screen of the iPad Mini.
