Dear Griffonwing:

Here is a little more on the Mentor LITE:

Linux 2.6 OS
400MHz CPU
Epson 5X Speed Controller
6 inch E-Ink 4 grey levels
8,000 pages to a charge
8 levels of font adjust
switch from horizontal to verticle at the touch of a button
support for dictionary
supports all major languages
uses a curser to make selections off of menu (no touchscreen)
mp3 with 3.5mm headphone jack
rechargeable/replaceable battery
weighs 6 ounces, thickness of a pencil (thinner than EZ Reader)
note-taking

I have attached a photo. I am waiting for more detail and color pictures and selling price.

This is the first release of the Astak Mentor Line. Additional Sizes and more full-featured 6 inch models will be forthcoming relatively soon.

Stats above are believed accurate; but am waiting for factory to verify.
