All new V3 for EZ Reader Basic

I did check and the factory is planning an all new V3 (which is our EZ Reader 6 inch Basic). They will not take the same one and add to it. They want to completely redo it as putting Epson Controller and other features found on the EZ Reader Pocket PRO 5 inch would take a massive rework of the PC board... meaning they might as well be total in the redesign.

Now, all of this should be considered a rumor still. It MAY happen around the New Year as a rough guess. The fact is that the EZ Reader 6 inch Basic is selling well and everyone loves it and they do not need to take the thunder away from the 5 inch Pocket PRO. AND... work is proceeding on the wireless 6 inch EZ Reader PLUS and EZ Reader PRO which is a brand new design. Plus, the 9.7 inch is getting a bit closer and requires more engineers on it now.
