Ganaxa GeR2 eBook reader

Ganaxa GeR2 is an early, aging French e-ink display which has seen little uptake. The GeR2 is an e-reader based on components from the Taiwanese company PVI and in turn Netronix, so that it is similar to the Cybook, NUUTBook, and STAReREAD. Ganaxa is a French company which is an e-paper systems architect and operator, in particular of the e-paper edition of the French daily business newspaper Les Echos.

The reader seems to have gained little traction, quoting the company website it is used " for the publication of the e-paper version of the French daily newspaper Les Echos for its light e-reader offer, for Citroën’s e-paper magazine, and for the experiment conducted by Flammarion with two of its bestselling novels."

The lithium ion battery should last some 8,000 page turns--one of the highest on the market--or some 2 weeks of heavy reading.
