I'm hoping that some gearheads out there are going to be able to keep us up to date on technology and adaptability within the limitations of the OS and processor.

Finally, someone mentioned that the stylus was unique to the eDGe. I tried a couple of different stylii that I have here including one for Bamboo Tablet and none of them work on it. I checked the Internet and have yet to find one for this device. Any suggestions? Along that line is there any place that has replacement parts such as the charger or other accessories such as car chargers?

Once again, thank you all.

Not only did it suffer from lack of money but I think it was mainly lacking good marketing. I suspect woot sold more PEs in one day than entourage did in its existence.

The stylus is not unique to the edge - it is a Wacom pen enabled unit with a lot of electronics in it. see the thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=145383

There are several threads here that talk about replacement power supplies and car chargers - the main requirement is that it should have a 12v output and the concentric socket must be the correct size. Just use the search function to find them.
