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".

I appreciate your wait-and-see approach, but I was not talking about eRead from STAReBOOK, but rather the eReader format recently purchased by Fictionwise. RobertB referred to it early on, and several people discussed the suitability of the format. Also, Nate the Great quoted an email earlier in this thread: "The software issue is still being resolved. We have received a ton of help and cooperation from Fictionwise and will include their eReader."
Having said all that, there is no mention of it on the Astak web site, as far as I can see. So, anyone know if this is an actual change? Perhaps we'll find out tomorrow.
As I said before, the wait-and-see approach is a good thing.
