We've already seen MIDs, high-res phones, and a few other odd devices from Qisda since it spun off from / encompassed BenQ, and it looks like it's now trying its hand at another e-reader as well. Still no official word about this one, but the device does look like it'll hold its own with a 6-inch capacitive touchscreen (16 levels of gray), along with built-in WiFi, a microSD card slot for expansion, and support for all the basic formats you'd expect (including ePub and PDF) -- the e-reader itself is also Linux-based. Coming from Qisda, it's also possible that this one will be picked up by someone else and rebadged before its released, although there's no indication of that just yet. There are plenty more pics (both internal and external) to be found at the link below, however, along with the device's user manual.
Am I the only person that doesn't care about readers?
I don't care much about electric toasters but I'm not tempted to post about it.
@Chris Aubeck Touche... however, if there was suddenly an influx of toaster related stories would you feel differently?
@Okjeff171: Feel free to not read about them then! I care about them.
$100 and I'm in. I know it will be more expensive, but that is the price point I'll buy one of these at.
The device will NOT be available in Russia...
@Dummy00001
It might. By another name.
People who don't know: Qisda sounds like Pisda! and that is a swear word that means female genitalia.
Qisda is the OEM arm of BenQ. this is not "another e-reader" but the same as that previously announced by BenQ. Qisda offers it now for re-branding. not only is it "possible" it will be rebadged- that's the whole point.
Also the interesting bit about the whole thing- missed here by Engadget- is that it's Auo/Sipix epaper.
