I wish you could also.

Also, something I have found I really enjoy on my computer and other LCD reading devices, is auto page turning. I know you won't have scrolling, but is there a feature to change the page after a set number of seconds? Then I could be really lazy and prop the reader up and just read without using my hand.

Anxiously awaiting.... Wish I could get it for my birthday at the end of this month.......

Dear AJ:

IF I had 3,000 Pocket PRO right now I could sell them in short order. The waiting is NOT good. When I posted the Pocket PRO as news a month ago, I got about 50 immediate "I want one". Those people meanwhile are looking at other options as they come out and I try to keep them interested but it is hard.

The Pocket PRO has three ways to advance a page anyway. There are buttons on the left, the "9" and "0" button on the right side, and a scroll wheel. Your idea is a good one to have auto page turning but there would have to be a clock to do that.

Yes, it would be great if Jinke can put a clock/calender feature on it. The problem is that libraries lending eBooks seems to be a North American phenomena. Almost all software and books seem to be free there as copyright is largely overlooked. So, the lending of eBooks in libraries does not work there as it does here. People just get what they want and do not seem to need to borrow from libraries. At least this is what my Chinese co-workers tell me. Being a "global economy" has its drawbacks too.
