So, maybe someone here owns one of these and might be able to give me more accurate details. Audio support? Gray levels? Avaliable memory? Supported formats? Any information is appreciated, thanks in advance!  |
Dear LisandroP:
I work for Astak and we make/sell the Mentor Lite. When it first came out (Version 1) it did not support Adobe Digital Editions, had a slow controller, had no MP3, and was 4 level grey scale. As such, we never sold it.
The factory came out with Version 2 after we complained a bit. Version 2 has 8 level grey scale, the super-fast Epson Controller, MP3, and Adobe Digital Editions. THAT is what we sell.
You can read all about the Mentor Lite in my blog:

It is an outstanding device now and I have 3-4 posts on the Mentor Lite on that blog!!
Thank you, Lisandro, for a great question!
