I don't know how this relates to this thread. In any way, I don't know who they are in person. They only tell us that they frequently visit our community and it's safe to assume that they do - and why shouldn't they? Do you think they don't surf the Web?

Robert being over zealous pushing his product does not bother me, nor any other rep pushing their product as long as I know who they represent.

I am glad it doesn't bother you. And it's absolutely legitimate for Roger to be zealous about the product he represents. All I am asking for is to reduce the sales pitch and to focus on the discussion of the product again.

Now I see that on the front page you have a notice on the BeBook Firmware Upgrade, which I feel is a good thing. However, Astak had theirs a week and a half ago and there was no front page article.

I assume the frontpage article you are referring to is
Mobipocket ebooks useless after firmware upgrade. The focus of this article is the fact that with the upgrade you lose access to all your purchased Mobipocket e-books. In essence it's more about DRM (and it's inherent dangers) than about the upgrade.

I would appreciate it if you checked the facts first before making baseless claims.

The Pocket Pro will come with support for Adobe DRMed Epub. Fictionwise eReader is also offered as an option.

I know you said you believe in conspiracy stories, but trust me, there is no conspiracy at MobileRead.
I would appreciate it if we could go back to the topic of this thread.
