The availability in Wal-Mart, Costco and such is in the discussion stages with Costco by far the furthest along. It takes weeks and weeks to work out all the details.

Here is the very latest on the 5 inch:

We are in the process of setting up a website with books and device sales.

I hope that this helps.

RobertB;

This helps tremendously! Especially since I do the vast majority of my ebook shopping with Fictionwise/eReader.

Getting Mobipocket on the 6 inch is quite the coup

Don't forget about getting some review models circulating. Nothing like getting them into the hands of tech writers and bloggers to generate some free publicity and drive sales.

I'm really looking forward to July. Make sure you let us know when the site goes live for ordering.

Now, will Fictionwise still be a reseller of the Mentor or will the device come loaded with their reader software?

That makes a big difference since they do have the eBookwise for sale.

Just askin' .....
