Dear ALL:
The 5 inch EZ Reader Pocket PRO is still due to ship on August 31. Despite the fact that Taiwan and China had the 100 year storm in the form of a Typhoon and half a mountain of mud slid down and many of our employees still are hoping their families are safe, and China got 80 inches of rainfall and is also a mess of death and destruction... the latest report from the factory is they should ship on-time... meaning we will ship out on August 31!
Now, this thread is about the 5 inch Pocket PRO! That is the purpose of this thread. There are a lot of new people who come to this thread and they are not finding the key info.
The Pocket PRO has the new and much faster Epson Controller with a 400MHz processor. It brings up books far faster and tuirns pages far faster. It is still E-Ink technology... meaning it gets 8,000 pages to a single charge when only displaying eBooks and it does not cause eye strain. Of course it has font increase and MP3 stereo, and bookmarking and all the rest. It has Adobe Digital Editions pre-loaded yet still displays 12 formats and 20 languages. You are free to purchase eBooks from hundreds of websites and we are assembling a great list of ADE eBook websites where you can purchase ADE eBooks. It has Text-To-Speech, 8 levels of grey scale, replaceable rechargeable battery, SD card slot to 16GB, and it comes in 6 colors chosen by MobileRead Forum members! It is selling for $199 and that INCLUDES the leather crush-resistant case with magnetic clasp.
