Is this Vizplex?

I received a HanLin V3 reader the other day. The box carried a sticker bearing the word "Vizplex". There was no other reference to Vizplex anywhere that I could see on either the device or in the literature accompanying the device.

Having watched the French video presenting the upcoming Cybook - also featuring the new Vizplex eInk screen - I was under the impression that page-turning on the V3 would be equally as fast as it seems to be in the Cybook video. http://www.teleread.org/blog/?p=6889

As you can see in my video featuring the V3 from Jinke, page turning is dramatically slower, promting me to ask the simple question: does my device have a Vizplex screen at all? As I stated before, there is no indication that I have a device with Vizplex other than a solitary, miniscule sticker on the box.

What do you think?

the beeping sound can be disabled from the options?

Yes, easily.

I think this is vizplex. See 0:15. The screen takes the same time to refresh than Cybook.

¿What do yoy think about Sipix technology?

It seems to have better looking, but has the same refreshing delay...

I agree on touch screen. No way to live without it

It's a good product! I do notice that when it's changing pages, the unit doesn't accept further commands until the page is displayed.

The beep is funny! It probably takes more battery power to beep once than to turn the page a hundred times! Glad to hear it's possible to turn it off.

There is still nothing to compare with my old Palm Pilots, from the III to the V. Touch screen changing of pages kicks ass! I'll jump into this e-ink with both feet when a touch-membrane is added. Buttons are lame.

you can get faster results by loading a text file into the internal memory.

Because it's:

1-B&W,and uses no grey.

2-1 font type,style and size.

3-does not contain pictures

4-does not need to communicate to an external reader for page loading.

The slowest results you'll get from loading pdf color anime from an SD card.

The device will need to convert the pdf to screen format, and change the color to a rendered B&W on the fly, which on average takes 4 seconds.

In watching the video I could read enough of the words on the screen that it loos to me like 1984, I think that says a lot for the screen, given it was video'd and then compressed down to youtube.

Clicking and beeping would drive me crazy.

I think this is Vizplex, but maybe the software is not optimized. See my video on Ganaxa Ger2 Vizplex to compare. It is realtime.
