Pictures from Frankfurt Book Fair

The Frankfurt Book Fair closed its doors last week and I hope many of you found the time to take a closer look at the iriver booth with the new e-book readers. In case you're on the other side of the world, here's some pictures for you (and more after the jump).

A closer look at the Cover Story

Here's a little video I did for you to find out about all the important features of the iriver Cover Story. This should help all of you to get an impression of what this new e-book readers is capable of doing. If you can, check it out in HD and full screen size, so you have a good look at the display and the menu. Enjoy!

Firmware Update v.1.06 for the Cover Story

This was released yesterday and should be great news for all users of the wireless version of the Cover Story. With the new firmware update v.1.06 the WiFi Cover Story OS now supports IMAP email accounts. Other changes include support of msn and yahoo emails and a new calibration of the touch screen.

iriver Cover Story European Commercial

This is the european commercial for the iriver Cover Story.

german "test" magazine rates iriver Story

This is brand new on the newsstands for everybody in Germany. The highly renowned "test" magazine has taken a closer look on all e-book readers that are currently on the german market, including the iriver Story. I'm not really surprised but very happy to see the iriver Story come in at a very close second place (with a tie in quality and tech spec ratings with the #1 spot). This should be very helpful for the launch of iriver's touch screen e-reader "Cover Story" which will be available in Germany in only a few days from now.

"Test" magazine and the publishing company behind it ("Stiftung Warentest") is highly influential on the german market and can boost product sales as well as destroy it, especially when they find out that products are dangerous, of poor quality or not suitable. More pictures after the break.

Goodbye from IFA

Thanks to everybody that visited us at the iriver booth and checked out all of our new products. The Cover Story impressed many people and the overall feedback for the products, the design and the booth was amazing. We are very grateful and hope to see all of you next year in Berlin!
