"... it never works!"

[poetraanoegrah]

What is not too big if in carrying it everywhere! but nice and sophisticated ..

[Mateyhv1]

Well finaly it seems to be launched after 29th of november 2010 in Taiwan only..

This one more addition to the Asus non existent line of ebook readers. Asus is busy with laptops and pcs.

[jorn89]

Annoying hair and voice, but nice e-reader.

[Lockerzfisch]

is this ebook-reader  ready for :Epub adobeDRM?

[123456iambelial]

Does anyone know how good the PDF support of this ebook reader?

Most ereaders treats the PDF format like a picture. Hope this one is not.

Kobo samsung and asus need to get in the market so there's more price competition in the US. The nook and kindle are overpriced and gouge the authors. Sony's is just retarded. Astak is the best of the worst. Alex reader is good too but super expensive even though it's just a little better than nook.

Looks great but very unresponsive.

[Alteczar]

Umm, does anyone else have a problem with the Favorites symbol that they use? Instead of a heart, it looks like an arm...

[look3rman]

I BET this Asus e-reader has that sh*tty glare like Sony PRS-600 as it's touch screen.

Since this review is not done in real life situations outdors/indoors with lamo on I caan assune it's got the same issues with glare, just like prs-600

If this is the case , it's not worth a buy. Stay with prs-300 or prs-505 if you can get it.

[Charbax]

This Asus e-reader has a capacitive touch screen. The Sony e-reader you are talking about has a resistive touch screen. Capacitive removes most of the glare that the resistive touch screen has.

What the hell !!! i am really undesided how i feel about this !! i'll put it on my wich list

[dialnick]

you sound just like borat..

[abvmoose87]

@dialnick

yeah if you think Borat sounds french.

How about thanking the guy for posting this and speaking in a second language?

[abvmoose87]

to Charbax the OP, How did you perceive the Glossy screen? Was it annoying or bothering to you? Or was it not so bad.

Thanks for posting this btw

[Charbax]

@abvmoose87 I don't know, I didn't notice it was glossy. I've seen a couple other SiPix screens before, I am not sure if SiPix has less contrast than e-ink. Anyways, I think the capacitative touch screen is very good, and in theory should be just as readable as without the touch screen feature.

[austinlee168]

very impressive

[constantinvicol]

finger touchable:))...funny guy...:p..he's so excited by this piece of plastyc...

[Pitutellama]

ty for the video, Charbax. Any idea on the release date and price? They said April, but these days it seems that there is no clue on it at the CeBIT

[beenthesun]

no color?

[gvi341984]

e-ink technology is till new but give it some time

[dialnick]

@beenthesun you are ignorant..

does kindle dx have colour? no.. then ? you think its just random ?

[giuppy75m]

is it e-ink ?

[Professzore]

Yep, but a different type (Not Wisplex but SiPix).

[shubnigh]

strange reflections!

[1650million]

What about the reflections compared to the Sony touch readers??

[abvmoose87]

@1650million

I would like to know this as weel.

I heard is uses a glossy screen and I cant understand why. This is the only thing that keeps me from wanting this

[unowiel]

Slow, unsteady and buggy - that's how to show products on CeBit.

[survivor303]

yeah and only about 25% of the demos see a daylight.

[abvmoose87]

u sure it's capacitive, I heard it was resistive

[Charbax]

@abvmoose87 I'm very sure it is capacitative. I can feel the difference, and I asked a high level rep again today to confirm, yes it is capacitative touch screen on SiPix.

[abvmoose87]

@Charbax

So then it would be safe to assume it wont have a stylus

[lastadolkg]

The processor looks a bit slow to load some of it's features. I hope it gets better, but the design is really nice.
