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

Dear BOb:

I will look into OpenInkPot firmware. Know nothing at all about it but will fully bring this to the attention of the engineers and management.

The EZ Readers are ahead of schedule and we should have them around October 24. Iris Huang has started a list of those interested and her email address is: irish@teamresearchinc.com (Team Research is the parent company of Astak). The list is short right now so it is a good time to get on the list. I mention this as I always hate "waiting lists" that already have 700 people before me. The initial color choices are white and black with hotter colors in the second batch. Iris will not answer questions, please, but will gladly add you to the short list.

By the way, the www.astak.com website has the specs and great wording on features up on it now for the EZ Reader. I love mine and purchased the first one. The quality of the stereo music playing on it, to my ears, is incredible with a good pair of headphones. It is only my opinion; but it is the best I have heard and I own an iPod Classic.
