From Endless Ideas in the Netherlands comes the new edition of their BeBook device, which is called Neo and is supposed to be the binding factor between the Kobo and the Kindle. Visually very much alike, there are some important differences between the three E-Readers, which you can already read from the press release.
After our successful models ‘BeBook One’ and the pocket sized ‘BeBook Mini’ we collected suggestions from our customers and packed them into a new attractive eReader.
The BeBook Neo is using the latest patented ePaper technology for an amazing reading experience. Read anything, anytime, anywhere. The powerfull processor offers unparallelled reading and browsing speeds. BeBook Neo´s powerful battery allows up to 7000 pageturns on a full charge.

I really love this, my only question would be if the design is not a little bit close to the Kindle or the Kobo? It seems almost as if its the same?? But I really like the wireless connection!

Love the fact that you are not bound to one particular store as with the Kindle or the Kobo. From time to time I think its great to swtich stores, which unfortunalty is not possible with any of the other two. I would be quite prepared to pay a little bit more for that I have to say!

I had one of these and sold it.I got fed up with the unstable wifi and the touchscreen having a mind of its own anywhere near the edges.
IMHO the wifi browsing experience just simply isnt worth the huge price hike..especially if u buy in EU…is price differential like that legal??

I bought one of these things,at the artificially hiked EU price.
I sold it on ebay–i just got fed up with the wifi -it was awful…the justification of the higher price includes the awful touch screen which has a mind of its own anywhere near the edge.
This product is quite clearly not market ready.
Having read the forums on mybebook site-i am not alone.
i bought an Mreader,which as an ereader is great–so far (*_*)
