Seamus, thanks for the history lesson, I needed it. What you say then makes me doubt the claims now made by Astak of being able to produce a large amount of readers at their price point: one of their partners may well be a screen manufacturer but can it produce these screens, and can it get rights from PVI?

TallMom, sorry if I misunderstood, but that's how I read the following sentence you wrote: "The main reason I purchased the TX was for the large screen for reading and the TX was not that much less than the Kindle!"
