I hope I am not being a nag, but I would like to follow up on the issue of margins.

Take a look at the Australian ECOReader which Alex posted here today:

To me, those margins are quite satisfactory.

Now take a look at the photo of the Astak Pocket Pro here:

The Pocket Pro's margins seem smaller to me. Do they to you too?

I swear that within the past 48 hours I saw a photo here at MR of a Pocket Pro which had no right margin at all. The last letters in the lines were bumping up against the frame. I wish I could find it today, but I can't.

Since the ECOReader and the Pocket Pro are both Hanlin V-5's, I assume that any firmware upgrade the Pocket Pro might need would be easy and simple.

I'll look forward to what those of you who have pre-ordered the Pocket Pro have to say about this issue when you get yours.

I also wonder if the margins seem wider on the white models - kind of an optical illusion.
