Thanks,

Yes, I also prize that Epson Controller. It will be on all future Mentor and EZ Reader models. BUT, Jinke is in Alpha and Beta testing of the EZ Reader PRO and PLUS and the latest I heard is Late April or Early May. I am not sure of the latest on the Mentor line but will check. There is no waiting list as I do not have all the features yet on each model. We could load it up with things you would be astounded at (including SCRATCH (write directly on screen) and Text-To-Speech, and about 8 additional great features... call it an "Amazon Eatter"... but would you pay $549 (total conjecture). I do not think many would. So, we have to add with a sight on selling price. One of the huge discussions right now is the EZ Reader PLUS... it will have Touchscreen and Epson Controller... but should it have 3G. 3G on a device can add $80 and mean the end user has to buy a plan with AT&T. Wi-Fi adds maybe $14 and no fee. My aim is to bring the Plus in at $379 MSRP and the pro at $429 MAYBE!!! Will this be possible? I do not know. I have to weigh what I want on it against what the public will pay and still feel they got a great deal.
So, no waiting list until we know what it will have in the final production run. BUt, I thank you for asking.
