The videos are in Ukrainian (or so I’ve been told), so I’m not sure what they’re saying. But I can tell you that there are at least 2 e-readers in the video; one is the PB 901 (it has the colorful buttons up the side of the screen) and the other might be the PB902 or PB903 (they look the same).
These are not hands on videos; they’re from a news broadcast.
