It's my belief that e-ink won't do a great job with touch screen annotation because of its relatively slow refresh speed. It's my hope that I'm wrong, so I am hoping that your new ereader will do a good job of supporting annotation/markup on documents.
Is there anything you can report to us in this regard?
Thx,

p.s. I am another who is looking forword to the negotiations on the pocket pro.

Dear emellaich:
Thank you! I am also longing for a conclusion on exclusivity for EZ Reader Pocket PRO. I can tell you that we are moving ahead and ordering the colors. I am not a party to the negotiations as it is all done in Mandarin. It is NOT impacting the delivery at this point.
Well, I will give you mu opnion for what it is worth of the Mentor Intrique Touchscreen. Others will say I am biased... but I sure try to be fairly objective.
The Touchscreen on the Mentor Intrique seemed NOT to impact the resolution at all. I cannot explain why. I just know what my own eyes saw. The resolution and brightness were really good!
The Intrique has the Epson Controller. While the EZ Reader Pocket PRO seems instantaneous to me on page turns (refresh) it is only a tiny bit slower on the Mentor Intrique. Faster than the EZ Reader (which does not have the Epson Controller) but is pretty quick anyway.
Annotation/Markup? I think you are using great words for Note Taking. I am of the opnion that it does have Note Taking but I have not yet seen it or worked with it. I do not know.
Remember... as I said... this is a single prototype and I am not supposed to be saying much more about it at this point. It is way too early. I already have said a bit too much and my boss wishes me to say nothing until we have some facts. Sorry.
