I don't know about a lot lighter, but certainly a little bit. I'd think the biggest thing the Plus has going for it is format support and that's what you guys would be playing up. Also although the V3+ doesn't have a lot of internal memory it does support SDHC cards which is another big plus to promote.
Proof that they've ever done this please, or are you just trying to spread the same old FUD? To my knowledge Amazon hasn't snooped in anyones Kindle.
Are you guys doing anything new with the bookstore?

Dear Anemic Oak:
I was only responding to the post that mentioned "snooping", the post above mine. I did not bring it up. I try to keep things nice here.
Dear CFrizz and Anemic Oak:
ALL of the effort is going into the bookstore right now. You simply cannot imagine. We changed the company name to EZRead, Inc, have our own company now, have all new business cards and letterhead, and have funding. Some of what is comingis VERY secret and I cannot hint but other great stuff I am free to talk about.
1. The hold-up on Agency Model titles is not us. The publishers are ensuring that they have all the taxes covered and we are waiting on that. We are ready to go. I hope that at least TWO of the big 5's titles will be up by this weekend and a third one just ratified the contract wording so that is to be ready soon. The other two are moving forward.
2. We now have brand new R&D in Taiwan and in China regarding this eBook Store. Where we had only one webmaster before by himself, we now have ten and are growing more. This means no more long waits and must faster speed in getting from idea to finished product!!
3. We have a total and complete redesign going on of the eBook Store (
www.EZread.com) and they are redoing everything from overall design to various functions we want added. Items like the WishList are being added now. I hope this can be approved in 3 weeks. It is not being done by us (that is good). We hired a professional firm.
4. All the time I was recuperating I tested and played with our new Interactive Forum! It is ready but will not be released until the redesign is ready. This interactive forum will handle: chit-chat, gossip, interview with authors, requests for interviews, recommendations on books, book reviews, problems experienced and solutions, and so much more... all hosted by The Renegade Intern! This will REALLY be fun and bring books alive!!
5. This pales in comparison to what I cannot tell you. Please believe that our little eBook Store is going major!
6. We are slated to do two book festivals in October to get more Indy authors and we are just adding large amounts of independent author titles by Untreed Reads and Independent Publishing Group as a result of BEA. That is a real coup for us!!
So, yes, the fun is about to really begin!! CFrizz, stay tuned, soon you will be able to see and experience!!
