Astak has an old description of three models of eBook readers here.
One bit of the press release I can't allow to go unscathed:
This unit has been a total of 8 years in development. Our band of eBook Reader bashers tried hard to get this to "hang up" or show a glitch. and it is as error-free and solid as you will find!
Emphasis added by me.
Uh, say what? Eight years?
Sony did its original eBook reader, the Librie, in 2004:
The LIBRIe reader is the result of a three-year collaboration between Sony, Royal Philips Electronics, Toppan Printing and E Ink.
Emphasis added by me.
That would put the Librie in 2001 for a development start.
Yet Astak (who?) claims it began in 2000?
