By the way I love the new EZreader firmware and will be looking forward to the updates that will hopefully also add ereader to the Digital Editions.
For now I love my EZreader but if in the future that is on that is the 9.7 inch screen and is as good or better than the EZreader I will be go that route. You know the older the eyes the need for the bigger screen.
Thanks so much for all the information that you do and can give us.

Dear Chuck:
That is great news that you love the firmware upgrade. Yes, after so long, I am overjoyed that this seems to be working smoothly for all concerned.
Yes, things do change so quickly in this world. I note several people say they will wait until September and see if prices go down. ALL I can say is there is nothing I can see where prices will drop. Panel prices worldwide are expected to rise and not drop. With B&N, Apple, and more all jumping into eBook Readers... give some thought, all!! More devices mean more demand for panels. Yes, you can wait. But, I see prices going up and not down as demand grows.
Demand is a funny thing. Demand can be a friend to the consumer and allow economy of scale. But, once you reach a certain point, demand becomes the enemy and prices rise. My other point is an old one: "He Who Hesitates Is Lost". Maybe it is just me, but for want of $20 I do not let a $200 decision go unanswered. I am not putting anybody down... but why deprive yourself for a few months of a really spectacular device like the Pocket PRO IS over $20. This device, in my humble opinion is a breakthrough. All those who said: "I want more speed", "I need pdf reflow", "I want to personalize by having it in color", "I need more grey scale", "I want drm capability", "I want to be able to buy from almost any website"... THIS IS THE ANSWER!!
You know what I do see... prices going up and by the time you want to buy you may not have the color choice you want. We CANNOT assure that the choice you want will be available. We have, right now, 200 of each. We can order more but it takes time!
