Gemstar Devices for the German Market

Recently, Gemstar launched a line of ebook devices in the German market. Unfortunately, Gemstar opted to continue with their rather confusing alpha-numeric naming convention. The GEB 2200 is the German equivalent of the REB 1200. Available from Gemstar's "selling partner" Bol.de, the GEB 2200 is currently priced at € 649 (around $570). The specifications of the GEB 2200 appear to be identical to the REB1200, although presumably a different type of modem is required for the German telecommunication system.

eBook Media, a German "co-operation partner of Gemstar," indicates that a GEB 2100 is forthcoming, although it is not yet listed on Gemstar's German website. Again, the specifications of the GEB 2100 appear to be identical to the REB 1100.
