Well, if it is the same boss who runs the entire company, he probably knows lots about security and IP cameras which I believe make up most of the company's business? I am saying that based on Astak's main website and the results I would get when searching for "Astak" on Google, YouTube, and various store websites for EZ Reader information. I'm guessing that e-book readers are likely still a smaller part of the overall company and get a therefore smaller piece of his attention. Chances are that the boss's knowledge level will go up as the revenue figures from the division go up and more attention is justified. Since this is the part of the business making a product that interests me, I wish it were otherwise, but gotta follow the bigger $ to stay in business.

It is a feature that would be great if it worked properly, but I'm generally too lazy to use end notes unless I'm really confused. If you like using them, however, I can see it being really frustrating because it seems like something obvious that should just work and not be a hard concept for this kind of a device. If it was a simple click and right back to the text perhaps I would actually start using the end notes more often... Perhaps end notes are more of an English language thing and Chinese doesn't have an equivalent? If not I could see why the programmers don't see it as important.
