Explaining Epson Controller

Dear jcgam69:

Five years ago when the Kindle was only an evil gleam in Daddy Amazon's eyes, the first eBook Readers were being planned by PVI. PVI tried to get a professional controller company to design a controller but there was NO INSTALLED BASE and the controller companies all laughed. PVI had to design a controller from scratch. It was good enough, but not fast!

NOW, with an installed base of almost 1.75 MILLION eBook Readers, Epson has decided that eBook Readers are worthy of a fast controller. Essentially, the Epson controller is anywhere from 3x to 5x faster than the old PVI controller on page turns. While some have said the speed in not that significant, the people on this forum want the fastest!!

In a nutshell, that is the story, sir!!
