It's official! We are now a reseller for the Jointech JE series readers. I haven't added the new page to site yet, I'll do that today or tomorrow.

I will be building a resource page as well where you will be able to download updates patches etc. There will also be an area for tips, tricks and tweaks. This I'll build into a dedicated forum page so you can exchange ideas directly. (Or maybe I could link to a dedicated forum for the JE readers on MR, if only there was one!!!)

So if you come across any software or info that you think would be useful to other JE users then PM me or email me at steve@zuluexpress.com and I'll add it to the list.

Jointech have asked me to modify ZuluReader so that it can be started from the commandline without the library functions etc. ZR will then be pre-installed on new stock and future models. This will allow you to read epubs from their GUI without having to go into CE.

Of course you can always load CE (switch to computer) and run ZR in 'full' mode simply by starting it as you normally do.

If anyone is interested in the commandline version and you have any suggestions on what features to leave in and which ones to ditch then now's the time to put your 2 cents worth in

You can download ZR for CE as a CAB install from here. ZR was originally developed for Win Mobile Smartphones and did not display at all well on CE devices with larger screens.

I am in the process of making all screens 're-flow' to fit any size screen or orientation. The main screen and the 'book' screen have been done and I am working through the rest over the week or so.

I will post here with progress reports on the update (or in the new dedicated Jointech forum, hint hint

Cheers,

Steve.
