I realize TTS is important as it is a selling point of the Pocket Pro, and I'd rather have it available in case I develop a compelling need for it in the future.

But it would be a real shame if we were to lose some of the forward progress TXT, RTF, HTML, FB2, and yes...even EPUB files (once they are renamed) now enjoy with the updated Cool Reader software. I realize there are some bugs in this new version as well, including the odd way it now reverses text, and these should certainly be corrected.

In any event, for now I'm happy to use the latest, "pulled" firmware (although I can appreciate why Astak removed it).

Thanks for keeping us all informed!!!
Dear Xochipilli:

It is more a matter right now of symantics. The factory and Astak are trying to reach agreement on things. I cannot go into any detail... but we expect them to keep supporting the devices.

Give us a while to work with them and sort all of this out!
