A portable battery operated apparatus (so-called “E-book”) for recording and reproducing various types of text files (for example, PDF, WOL and HTML), still image files (for example, JPEG) and audio files (for example, MP3), with dimensions of approximately 18 x 12 x 1 cm and a weight of approximately 220 g.
The apparatus is equipped with:
a monochrome display (using electronic-ink technology with 4-level grayscale) with dimensions of approximately 12 x 9 cm, a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 15 cm (6 inches) and a resolution of 600 x 800 pixels,
a USB interface,
a connector for earphones,
a memory card slot,
control/navigation buttons,
a 200 MHz processor, and
an internal memory of 512 MB.
The apparatus can be connected to an automatic data-processing machine for the purpose of transferring files.
The apparatus can reproduce text, still images and audio by processing data stored either on the internal memory or on a memory card.
The apparatus does not have translation or dictionary functions.

Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8543, 8543 70 and 8543 70 90.
Classification as an automatic data-processing machine of heading 8471 is excluded as the apparatus does not fulfil the conditions of Note 5(A) to Chapter 84.
In addition, as the apparatus is not of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system, classification as a unit of such a system under heading 8471 is also excluded.
Classification under heading 8528 as a monitor is excluded given the product's inability to display video images as a result of the specific technology used for the display and the subsequent low quality of image allowing visualisation of document formats and static images only.
The apparatus is to be considered an electronic apparatus, having an individual function, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.
It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 70 90.
