1. My PDA came without eBook software but it let me load, unload and update the book-reader software I wanted. Will it be possible for Mentor owners to delete, load and update the reading software of their choice?
2. eReader on the Clie lets you press one side of the screen to page forward and the other side to page back. This works much better than putting buttons under your fingers. Will the Mentor implement this feature?
3. eReader on my PC has a button to click that takes you to the eReader.com bookstore where you can click off the books you want to buy--sort of like what Amazon just did with the Kindle. Will the WiFi version of eReader do that? How about the MobiPocket version: will it home to Amazon to buy and download books?
4. Will the 5-inch Mentor be available with both touch and WiFi?
I know I'll hear the answers to all this eventually. Just having trouble waiting. The Mentor really IS a book reader for the rest of us.  |
Dear 6Charlong:
Wow, you ask good questions.
The 5 inch Mentor will not have TouchScreen or WiFi as it is intended to be low priced and get new eBook readers into the fold. The 6 inch will have TouchScreen, WiFi, and Bluetooth as options. All comes standard on the 9.7 inch.
The Mobipocket version will not "home" to Amazon. You will have your choice of any eBook site that sells in Mobipocket format.
The TouchScreen on the Mentor will make it a breeze to turn pages right on the screen. Non-Touchscreen models require a button to be pushed.
Your first question I am going to have to go to the factory to get you an answer. I really do not know. So... we will both learn!!
