You can mark me down for a future Mentor or EZ Reader purchase for certain. I'm just not sure which one at the moment since I want to see the specs for what all will be coming this summer and fall with the Epson controller and a 6" screen.
Right now it will likley be the Pocket Pro because it has everything I think I want and little that I don't. And hopefully it will be as resiliant as the EZ Reader basic. My first baby arrives in a month so whatever device I get must be good for carrying with all of his stuff and stand up to my 17 lbs. cat laying on it (in its case) to get my attention.
Astak is the only company offering a device that has American support, formats, and the new toys so I my purchase will eventually be from you.
Most likely I will purchase a black device since I think of it like a basic black dress that can't go out of style so black buttons on a black device make sense with the printed numbers being in white for visibility. Therefore I won't venture an opinion on what color buttons for the colored devices.
I quite like the logo that Griffonwing suggested and would be very open to seeing what Shel produces if her life permits time (I so understand that!). "Cute" logos will only get a company so far and something striking is much more timeless if you think about companies that have been around for a long time and are still using the same logo for a product line.
Good luck Robert!
