And I really dislike aw well all that grey advertising going on by keeping current a thread from a company that has only managed to deliver a completely unimipressive 6" reader so far, pretty much what everyone else on the planet have done before them and done better. That said I might be negatively inclined towards them by the fact that the aztac representative as I said knowingly lied about their large screen size reader which according to the initial posts should have been a reality six months or so ago... no one can be so far off unless they do it intentionaly.

Everybody in the industry was quoting a fall 2008 release of the 9.7" reader. Netronix, Hanlin, Astak and others. No one else told us why they failed to deliver except Astak. They received a prototype and determined the failure rate was unacceptably high due to the possibility of a broken screen. So, instead, they pushed the delivery date back for a more reliable product with a plastic screen instead of glass. I personally think this was the correct decision. I would have like to see others acknowledge the reason but at least we found out. YMMV.
