June 2nd, 2009. Astak announced today that it will be the new North American distributor of the Hanlin V5 (aka Bebook Mini). The V5 has been rebranded as the Pocket Pro, and has a retail of $199. It should be available in about 2 months. The Pocket Pro will come with support for Adobe DRMed Epub. Fictionwise eReader is also offered as an option.

But maybe it is more accurately described as being due to RobertB falling out of favor with some moderators. But then how does that benefit the general public looking for information about eBook readers?

Information is good. I said that multiple times in this regard. Blatant advertisement is not good. We contacted RobertB a month ago to share our concern with him. He didn't respond. This behavior is not only rude, but disrespectful and ungrateful.
