I see. Good news for me, thanks!

The only new model in the pipeline right now is the "6 inch EZ Reader PLUS". It will look the same as the existing EZ Reader 6 inch but will be faster and go to 16 level gray scale. You can read everything about it in my blog: www.robertbEZ.blogspot.com Basically, it will bring the 6 inch up to where the 5 inch Pocket PRO is now, basically.

The Pocket PRO went on sale today (see my seperate thread on Mother's Day Blowout). There are no changes that I know of planned for the Pocket PRO.

Eventually this year, we should see another 6 inch and a 9 inch. But, those are using a SIPix screen which is delayed. We have no date yet on when these will finally be built... but they are coming. We do occasionally look at other new models... but nothing is even under heavy consideration now.

The 6 inch will be selling at the SAME price as the existing EZ Reader 6 inch. THAT is why we want to clear out existing inventories. It will NOT cost more.

If you do buy the Pocket PRO I think you will be delighted for quite a while. The Pocket PRO is still state-of-the-art and comes with the crush-resistant case and ear buds included. As of this moment I know of NO plans to change it except via free firmware upgrades. BUT... the price of $175 WITH a free 2GB SD card is only good until May 16.

You can purchase internationally at: www.astak.com. Questions can best be answered by emailing to: support@astak.com.

Welcome, LCF!!
Dear Rob,

thank you for the long and informativ answer! I guess I'll make my mother a very happy owner of Pocket PRO these days. Thanks again!
