There’s no denying that the VEB612 looks quite attractive, has a good E-Ink display and impressive battery life. However, the buggy software and relatively high £250 asking price mean you’d need to be one sandwich short of a picnic to opt for this over something like Sony’s cheaper, but more much more impressive PRS-300.

Looks like Viewsonic wanted to cash in on a growing market instead of actually making a good product.

It looks nice, but that price is waay to high. I wonder how much they make off of each one? They can't be that expensive to make can they?

It's been available in the States since last October (amazon) and appears to have bombed, now available for $199.00, %50 off. You wonder why they bother to launch it here without a software upgrade (having had 6 months to produce one).
