But wait and see where the future leads. You want additional fonts... we will do that. You want touchscreen and wi-fi and maybe note-taking... that is also planned pretty soon. You are tired of Black and White machines... we are getting the liveliest of colors. You want Adobe Digital Editions... it is in the works. You want eBooks... we are opening our site soon and will sell for less.
I wonder if you folks have considered using the open source OpenInkpot firmware and shipping it with your product? Rather than pay devs to write something totally new and from scratch it would be great to see the device officially supported and contributed to by Astak.

When will the EZReaders be shipping. I may just get one because I want to try OI.

Thanks,
