One of the things I like about the jetBook is the hierarchical file folder structure and appearing as a removable drive to my PC making it possible to maintain folders ad directories without resorting to dedicated library software. Does the Astak have these capabilities? How about the eInk slow/flash page turning? Has that been adequately addressed?
Hmmmm, the Astak is Linux, I wonder if the Astak firmware … Naw, prolly not, the device drivers for the screen and buttons is probably all different. But then again if the source is …

Dear wodin:
The Pocket PRO has the Epson Controller and 400 MHz processor for bringing up a book and doing page turns far faster. The problem in the past was not that of E-Ink. It was in having to use a 5 year old controller design developed NOT by a controller company but by a panel manufacturer (nothing else was available way back then). People mistakenly blame E-Ink and it is not their fault. I think you will love the new Epson controller!
I'll ask about the heirarchical file folder structure! That is beyond me.
Great questions and thank you!!
