Similar models of e-readers
Quite often among industrial products, to which the garments, shoes, etc., you can see the same model, but under different brand names. Probably everyone knows what country come to our market such a product? As it turned out, this feature of modern production touched the e-book readers.
There is a group of devices for reading, which appear identical (except for the brand, and perhaps body color) of each other no different. They are assembled under one scheme, according to some figures. The difference can be hidden in software only. Firmware for these readers may be different, but fully interchangeable.
The known devices Lbook , it turns out, have a minimum of three "twins." These models are not available in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Their dwelling place - China and some European countries.

Another group of devices is slightly different in appearance, but the original electrical drawings to make them seem to have been taken from the same source. Readers have finished a little further and provided each of them their software. Firmware in these devices is partially or completely interchangeable.
