A question I have not seen answered yet on the EZ Reader - how many font sizes are there? And as an "I hope" for the part of the mobiebook site showing accessories I would really like to see a good picture or two of how the case holds the reader and how solidly it stays put.

Thank you for staying with this project. Likely you signed up for a nice domestic cat and somehow were given a Siberian tiger. While not quite what got me so excited back in May when I discovered MobileRead and that e-book reader do exist, it still looks like my best option. I hope to get one for my birthday next spring.
Dear Sara D:

Font sizes! Right now, out of the box, it comes with three font sizes which you could call: Regular, Large, and Extra Large. The Extra Large is about twice the size of regular. In addition, you can display horizontally and vertically. Please let me know, anybody, if this is not sufficient and we can work with the Hanlin people. My mom's eyes are very old and bad and I am very much interested in supporting the site-impaired.

Happy birthday in advance! Yes, this kitty has become a Siberian Tiger. There are more loops and turns. Trying to get a product to market is like a war. I try NOT to act like I know too much and yet I ALWAYS feel obligated to answer questions or find the answer. The bunch of electric parts and wires grows to be like your own child. I am fiercely proud of the EZ Reader but already looking to improve it.

I will try to get a picture up on the case: but... the problem is not how securely it holds it but the opposite. The thing is in there so good that it could break a fingernail on a man. I know as I tried. You cannot shake it loose. You either move it all the way to the left or forget about getting it out. In a nuclear detonation I fear that EZ Reader would survive ground zero. It is like trying to break into Fort Knox. If you worry about the unit accidently falling out... that I can tell you will NEVER happen.
