Hi,
Evrit is indeed a Linux device, but it had a very very stritct DRM. I think
I heard from someone inside NDS that the DRM is built inside the kernel as
a module. Not sure though, just a rumor
Seeing the GPL discussion regarding Orange made me wonder if someone yet has
tried to contact the Evrit sellers to make them confirm to the GPL
requirements. Btw, their user manual sais qisda es600 in the filename, and
looking for this combination turns up the following device and the following

How about the Nokia N770 Internet Tablet + FBReader as an e-book reader?
It runs Linux and is very comfortable, although it's a smaller LCD screen...
FBReader has Hebrew support, but I wonder how do I get Hebrew e-books to use
on it?

The main trick about the e-books that everyone seems to miss, is the
e-ink technology. From my own experience, the e-reader's screen is
much more comfortable to the eyes.

Does anyone have any idea of what software is running on the new Hebrew
e-ink reader evrit? Their web-page does not mention say a word about what
platform it is running on, what processor it uses, whether it is firmware
upgradable, etc.
See: http://www.e-vrit.co.il

It is running Linux:

But it seems they forgot to provide sources for their GPL programs on the
web page... Though of course according to the GPL their are other ways they
can comply with the license.

As far as I understand it is published in epub. Probably in encrypted epub,
which is not supported by any free software readers as it needs a
proprietary module by Adobe. See:

But again, it is just a guess that this is what Evrit is using.

just the way that in the paper-world there were books sales and there
