Maybe I'm alone here but can't help feeling that jinke are missing a beat by being so secretive whilst kindle marches on and other new entrants are announced. After all, it's not like the new jinke v30 comes with a magic wand and can cook your recipes as well as showing them to you on an e-ink screen.

Dear Mobelby:
Yes, I am with you on this. I applaud that Jinke is doing some very neat things with their new eBook Readers but I wish they would learn that a small amount of advance horn honking builds attention. Jinke has several fabulous products coming out. I know that because I have seen them and used them a bit. Frankly, I see Jinke as certainly able to release a machine that would eat the Kindle 2. They just do not beleive in advance hype. I, on the other hand, am in the USA where we are used to building a hunger by feeding crackers and cheese. I also know that IF you do not have tons of money (Astak does not) you need to pound on the press to get them to at all pay attention. I have been emailing for four months to the Washington Post without any success. They cater to technology but never showed up at CES.
Case in point is the EZ Reader Basic. It is a great machine that almost nobody knows about. I fear the same for the EZ Reader PRO (which I know kicks K2 butt in every way imaginable). Trying to reach the techies depends on techie blogs and magazines and on-line reviews. Now would be the right time to bring out that tray of crackers and cheese.
