Dear BassChick:

What this thread is about is talking with a manufacturer of eBook Readers: Astak, maker of two lines: "EZ Reader" and "Mentor". As Amazon and Sony and so many others will not answer questions or try to reply to posts on new technologies with some "insider insight"... I will. Now, to be fair, any other manufacturer is invited to join in. They just do not. I am not always right, and not everything happens exactly on time, but the keynote of the thread is honesty and openness. People discuss what they want to discuss. Some compliment and some complain and some chuckle... but we all get a say. Occasionally, Astak will bring up a question and people can answer as to WHAT THEY want to see on an eBook Reader. The reason the thread is so long is that Astak has about 7 new models of eBook Readers coming out in the next ten months and one came out shortly after the thread started (EZ Reader Basic). Astak is trying to build what this community wants... such as color, or touchscreened models that are actually clear screened, or long-charged 9.7 or 10.1 devices, or the ongoing argument between Wi-Fi and 3G wireless. I talk about future models and the thread provides a chance to say "hate it, love it, don't care, or swallow it sideways".

THAT is why this thread goes on and on... it works for almost everyone. So, BassChick, welcome to the thread!!
