Are you sure that astak have a 5" with the Epson ? The EB500 is an apollo driven and netronix does not have any other 5" device.
Dear Godzil:

The Astak EZ Reader Pocket PRO 5 inch has the Epson Controller, 400MHz processor, 200 dpi, 8 levels of grey scale, Text-To-Speech, Adobe Digital Editions, supports 14 formats and displays 22 languages, MP3, includes crush-resistent leather case and ear buds, and comes in six colors... for about $200. It releases in about 4 weeks.

This Bookeen Opus, we think, is a Netronix product and we will check that out. IF it is, Astak will be carrying it also with the famous Astak warranty and USA technical support, and may well have it in colors also! Our General Manager is in Taiwan now talking with Netronix. IF we do this Netronix model we will demand the Epson controller for it.
