Foxit have promised support for Epub & other formats in the next firmware version, & there is evidence of very active firmware development on their forums.

I will write a longer review later, but In short, my biggest problems with the eslick are

- Horribly Unstable
Stability while reading a large PDF is absolutely shocking. Iam reading Let The Right One In (Awesome book, highly recommended) & Eslick locks up practically every 50 pages. To reset I have to remove it out of the leather jacket & hunt for a paperclip. This is a huge nuisance since it fits very snuggly into the leather jacket. Ive resorted to carrying a paperclip around at all times now.

- Loss of Bookmark
Sometimes when it locks up, it doesnt remember what page I was upto.

- Short battery life.
So far, i estimate battery life of about 400 page turns.

Very very disappointing.
