Dear Rixte:

Thank you. I have seen some examples of some really great designs coming on Astak future devices. I think, somewhat, people are getting more into a bit more "exotic" or "futuristic" look. I cannot say more under the NDA... but I like what I see coming.

I agree. Too many buttons just clutters up things and confuses the user. I just do not want to get away from meeting the needs of lefthanders and the righties who prefer to turn pages with their left hand. We agree that buttons should not clutter... but ergonomics for all is what I want. Too often we seem to feel that righties are right.

Oh, funny thing happened yesterday. One of our employees took the new Fuscia Pink Pocket PRO home to show his wife. They went to a Starbucks to get a coffee. She pulled out the pink Pocket PRO and soon had 8 people around her asking "what is that" and "where can I get one". The Fuscia Pink color worried me as it is radical. BUT... radical seems exactly what gets noticed!

The EZ Reader Pocker PRO is in production and is physically being made right now. We ship the end of August!!!
