I thought I read somewhere in this topic that 500000 similar units have already been sold in Russia and the EU - under what name brand
---- Searched around and found the answer...
I hope that my questions are not inappropriate in any way...

Dear rgeorg:
Your questions are always welcome. I hope you are also reading my blog:

I did post an answer to purchasing in Europe. Yes, when we release you will be able to buy from our new website (under construction now): www. goEZebook.com.
The European distributor for similar to the Mentor is Longshine in Germany.
We hoped to release the Mentor in 5-6 weeks. However, we just heard from the factory that it will not have the Epson controller until May sometime and we want to ensure that this is on there. Also, the Mentor Lite would not have MP3... something that we feel is important for the North American market. We are trying to decide now whether to go with the Mentor Lite or just wait for the Mentor Intrique. The Intrigue has 8 levels of greyscale, 16,000 pages to a single charge, MP3, and the Epson controller... and is due anyway in June... plus I love the new design. Plus, we can get Touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth on it if we want all that. We already have the EZ Reader Basic and the Mentor Lite is essentially the same basic machine.
So... there is some planning and choosing going on.
