The only issue I had were bookmarks were not being saved. But after searching for a bit I read it has to do with spaces in filenames - got rid of those! Then my bookmarks seem to save correctly 
Looking forward to checking out more features of it. E-ink is amazing my coworkers couldn't believe how neat it was.
Also thanks to advice here I signed up for the philly library just waiting on my card to arrive in the mail - can't wait to see all the free books I can get 
Thanks again for this forum, and all the help you guys at Astak do - never before have I seen a company so involved in the community before. |
Dear Ogrillion:
Thank you. I am very pleased the Pocket PRO is pleasing you. TRY the MP3. I have an iPod and the Pocket PRO sounds far better with good headphones.
Yes, we do TRY very much to be a part of the community. Astak reaches out a lot. The colors of the Pocket PRO were decided by MobileRead Forum members and features like the clock and search engine came about because so many asked for it. Astak and I look upon ourselves as never being a big player. Yes, we would like to be a lot bigger and sell millions of devices... but our niche is largely one of being unique. We have great devices that few will ever even hear about. Yet... we see this forum as a chance to get feedback from purchasers that will make us better; and make our end users happier than with other devices.
Our newest effort is:
www.EZread.com. That eBook Store will be different. Right now it has 200,000 "pay" titles PLUS the entire FREE Google Library of 1 MILLION eBooks. Shirtly, that will make a huge jump in usage as we are going with a forum on that site, independent authors, free novels that are normally "pay", the lowest prices, a "Meet The Author" section, and more. The forum will permit our eBook Specialists to get your suggestions, recommend great books you will like, take criticism and compliments, etc.
The big thing is we are VERY different with that site. We are going out to local Book Shows ( just got back from L.A. Times Festival of Books) and we are going after great authors with great novels that are just converting to electronic book formats.
