I imagine you will post here as soon as support for eReader is added and I know about your NDA restrictions, but do you have any idea about how much longer before we will get word about eReader?
Thank you for your support.

Dear 6charlong:
There are SO-O-O many threads now. It was posted on most other threads but let me bring you up to date.
We finally know the SDK is done from Fictionwise for eReader in Linux. They are owned by Barnes&Noble and that means everything is in legaleze. It takes 8 paragraphs to say what could be said in one sentence. This is normal when dealing with HUGE companies.
Last week we finally got one of two final eReader contracts. They were kind to us and we do not have a problem with the one. We are waiting for the second bigger contract. IF it is alright, THEN the SDK goes to the factory for porting into the device. Then samples can be sent to Fictionwise and, once accepted, we can do the firmware upgrade to get that into the EZ Reader. I do not believe that this violates the NDA we have in place with Fictionwise.
So, we are closer than ever to seeing it happen!
