But right now, I'm too busy looking forward to an e-reader that will be less than $200 that I can pick up from my local Wal-mart or Target in a month.
Because I'm playing with an EB-100 even as we speak - you know the same basic platform as the Astak 6", except from Netronix? And so far I've not seen anything from Astak's site to give me hope that the Astak 5/6/9.7" models will support anything but .stk ebooks.

Oh well, if Astak doesn't deliver Mobi or eReader, at least one will be able to stuff OI (OpenInkpot OS) and FBReader onto the device. (Waitaminit! Now I'm *happy*! )
