Unless they've sunk lots of time and programming energy into this, they're offering the same Eread (file extension .stk) software that already comes on the Netronix EB-100 (and the STAReBOOK STK-101 as well as the ExPlay). And don't believe the listing. The Eread software only "supports" these other formats by requiring you to first convert to plain text (No, not rtf or html - plain text!) which you then drag-and-drop or browse and "open" into the STK-Maker app. Or so it appears on my EB-100. As my EB-100 is a new purchase and that's what it's "supported" formats were listed as, I'd be cautious about presuming the reader software is any more "feature-laden".
