Independant Reviews

But yeah, I expect we'll have half a dozen independent reviews of the Pocket Pro in 5-6 weeks.
Dear Rixte and all:

There were at least a few in-depth reviews of the EZ Reader by MobileRead Forum mentioned about 5 months ago in this thread.

Independent Reviews require one thing: cooperation from the reviewing outfit. I have spent months writing to reviewers and calling them. They do not write back or show any interest. They concentrate on Amazon and Sony and refuse all others. The Washington Post is an example. I have emailed to Rob P. at their tech review 50 times. I have caught him when he goes live. He will not acknowledge that I am alive.

I finally, last week, got a reviewer at The San Francisco Examiner and one at MobileTech Review who are doing reviews now on the EZ Reader Basic and want to do reviews on the Pocket PRO as soon as we have them.

You have no idea how hard it is to get these reviewers to do their job!

We just sent out 500 press releases to go after more.
