Does anyone have one of these? When you go to the Foxit site, there's still a button to preorder it.

I just checked their web site and there is no firmware upgrade to version 2.
I question whether it has actually been released....... |

I have an E-slick. Haven't really used it all. Up until now I put it in my "dumb" purchases of the year column. Maybe once I get the update, I may find the device useful.

One of the moderators in the eSlick forums indicated that it was held back for technical reasons. Whether that means a last-minute bug or difficulty publishing the firmware, I'm not sure.

I guess I read it too fast, but then its not really news.
They've been saying they will have Ereader support for about six months - the first release was supposed to be August 3rd, but it never materialized. I would hope they get their act together on it for the sake of those that have an Eslick. |

I also wonder if someone with a CyBook Gen 3 could flash it with the eSlick firmware. It seems to be the same hardware. BOb |

I think he wants to try the ESlick Firmware on the Cybook Hardware. I know that would interest me, given that I have a substantial number of EReader books.
