Just because these other 3 choose NOT to have a voice, does not mean that we can neglect the Astak devices. Think about all of the thousands of visitors that never even come to the forums. The ones who only troll the front page for the big news, and click-link to that specific thread.
We are keeping THEM from the knowledge. Is that fair? I say "front page rights" go to them that has the news, and Astak's devices certainly are very newsworthy with their price/offering comparability.

Dear all:
I have kinda stayed out of this so far and appreciate all of the great comments made on this subject. I agree that just because Astak has a presence here should not mean it loses out on being newsworthy.
Griffonwing, as normal, brings up a point here that is really strong: What About the Thousands of Visitors that Never Come to the Forums? This thread is the longest in MobileRead Forum History and just recently topped the 200 page mark!! Should long threads die off?? I think NOT. IF this is the show thread for MobileRead Forum... it should be news!
The EZ Reader Pocket PRO IS a LANDMARK device. It is the smallest, lightest, most interesting featured device to come along in quite a while!! It is more full featured than any similar five inch... fast, powerful, has Text-To-Speech and Epson with 400MHz processor, displays more formats and languages than ANY other competitor, comes far more complete, and comes in six colors that were hand-picked by MobileRead Forum members!! I am sure that is an absolute FIRST... and shows the power of this FORUM!!
Maybe tooting the horn now and again is a good thing!!
