That's an interesting take, completely wrong, I think, since it doesn't seem to jibe with the facts, but interesting.

I don't think any forum posters were ever in denial about the company being in trouble. It seems we were more like the nosy neighbors who know something is wrong but can't seem to convince anyone to admit it. And like good neighbors, we are now trying to figure out whether we can be helpful. There is, of course, self-interest involved: We think the eDGe offers something unlike anything else in the market place. It fills a need that no other manufacturer is trying to meet, so we need enTourage to survive. Lord knows, I can't work on an ipad--and I certainly can't read for long periods of time on one.

I wish you were right, that in another year or so another company would come out with something that builds on the eDGe. But I don't see anyone else even looking at going down that road. They're all chasing the ipad fantasy that only meets the needs of entertainment junkies amd ignores the needs of professionals who need a device for reading and annotating PDFS/epubs/etextbooks and for seamless integration of those annotations/ebooks with web functionality.
