Dear Robert.
Go to the beginning of this thread.
Have a look at the very first post:
"Astak Mentor eBook readers with WiFi and Touchscreen options"
that was 04-09-2008, 02:57 PM, exactly 309 days ago.
We were excited, we were ecstatic, there was much, much bigger "buzz" than there is about Cooler. We created an Uber Monster Thread with 2713 posts discussing this exciting devices.
Today, 309 days later, that "WiFi and Touchscreen options" are still vapourware.

In the meanwhile:
- there was Kindle DX introduced and delivered
- txtr is just around the corner, and on the www.txtr.com there are a few interesting free e-books. There is a press release at http://reader.txtr.com/press.html txtr device will be introduced at Frankfurt Book Fair 2009 on 14 to 18 October
- some of our members have [Gasp!] working new firmware [with folders and working Delete button] on their Cybook gen 3. Next Monday, or at least "real soon now" I expect a Duke Nukem Forever to be released for Cybook,
- we have seen *video* of working Bookeen Opus - the new 5" device from Netronix

Cooler is HERE. TODAY. You can order it, pay for it, receive it and play with it. Today.
