Txtr eBook due for a December debut

Txtr, a new eBook was just announced at a book fair in Germany. It has the same name than the company making it, and should be in retail in Germany in December. Unfortunately, this eBook will cost almost $500, which is way more than the 6″ Kindle. On the technical side, content can be uploaded to Txtr via USB, WIFI or proprietary short-range wireless protocol. In the meantime, the Kindle will land in Germany next week. Good luck Txtr.
