Dear Harry:
I wish I knew. NOTHING in the contract says that the Hanlin V3 cannot be sold in the USA. All I know is we are forbidden so far.
Please realize that we do NOt want any trouble for Jinke (manufacturer of the Hanlin) with Mobi/Amazon. IF I state that I also cannot make one iota of sense of this ban to us... please realize you are asking me to make some sense of what makes NO sense.
Today we heard that MAYBE, just maybe, if we co-brand the EZ Reader with Hanlin V3, we may be alright proceeding with Mobi on the EZ Reader.
One definite statement here: we are NOT stopping support to those who own Mobi EZ Readers. We are trying every way we know how to get this worked out OR get you firmware that will give you eReader and Adobe Digital Editions on it. I am stating a problem that was in no way caused by us and a reason that is without any sense.
