We have been asking BOTH factories to include dictionary support on both the Mentor and the EZ Reader lines for 8 months. I do agree that we NEED dictionary support and IF it was up to me we would have it by now. I keep trying and I think they finally both understand.

Yes, new devices by Astak are clearly coming soon. We issued a press release this morning stating that we would be showing Touch Screen, Wi-Fi, 3G, MID (Mobile Internet Devices), and 9.7 inch (with Flexi Screen) devices at CES. Some of these will be coming out likely before Christmas. We do not have release yet in any of these devices so we have no details or features yet. We only know they are forthcoming very soon. CES (Consumer Electronics Show, January 7-10, 2010) is normally where the great majority of new products are seen as that event gets ALL of the press, media, amd reviewers.
Thanks for the good news and the effort that you push. I have to say sorry that I did return the product. Initially, I thought that missing dictionary is ok for me but when the time went by I have a lot of problem of reading due to my English skill so I decided that dictionary is a MUST. And it slow, as said, when I open the book from SD card. I did not know it because that this is the nature when reading the book from outside source of internal memory. I still feel sorry that I should keep it but cannot help becaue I already returned.

Your information still bring me a hope. I will also wait for what will come out during that time. This help me to delay the decision of taking Sony Touch/Amazon Kindle. What you have stated is very nice feature which I really want to see. As said, for me, dictionary is important and it would be nice if Touch screen and 9.7" is included, 3G is not much interested for me. I am wondering how much it is going to cost to include all that. Hopefully you can bet the sony/amazon price. Ok, look to see your product and if it matched to my need then I will get it again.
