That won't help. The problem is much larger than just a label. Yew see, there are a ton of websites out there that mention the Astak DOES support eReader. If yew do a search, yew will find them.

It was reading this in that variety of places (NOT just one) that convinced me to purchase this product. It is certainly no secret I was disappointed. However I grow less and less unhappy with it as firmware improves (I am currently using the Lbook firmware), and I have stripped the DRM from the eReader files and converted it to HTML so I can read those as well.

But still, at the end of the day, it *was* the promise of eReader support that had me open my wallet for this reader. I suspect there are many others who bought it for this reason as well, after seeing the above mentioned websites saying eReader is supported.

The problem is those sites are independent and there is precious little yew can do about them, aside from contacting every single one and asking for a correction. I doubt many would bother.
