Form factor

In the previous incarnation, the four side buttons were related to the mp3 duties and a back button on the menu. I sometimes used the back button and never used the mp3. This meant I had wasted buttons, and the only way to turn pages was the big four-way button on one corner. As a result, left/right holding wasn't easy.

Frankly, I don't like the form factor of the device. I prefer what I see in pictures of the Jinke device more.
Dear Emellaich:

Definitely noted. Truth be told, I wanted page advance on both sides too.
The Mentor line has great potential and great plans and the future looks bright. However, I think they have to face that they need to also learn along the way. So, I sent your comments to Netronix.

Some people like the lack of buttons on the front of the Mentor. That is what they like. Me, I like well placed usable buttons and I want them to be as good for left handers as they may be for right handers.

As always, your comments are excellent and I thank you!
