Thanks for your advice, polly. I'll try and get in touch with them, probably through email as the time difference and high international calling rates in this part of the world mean contacting them by phone is a little unfeasible.

By the way, can anyone tell me if there is any significant difference between the 6" Astak Mentor and the 6" EZ Reader? I've read the specs online, and they seem to be essentially the same, just look different. The only difference I can see is that Mentor has 8-level grayscale compared with 4-level for the EZ.

Is there anything else? And do either of them have dictionary (the website doesn't mention it, which I guess means they don't)?

*EDIT*
So I tried the Astak website by pretending I was in US (you have to create an account to see the discounted price) and apparently the Mentor is still $229 there, $100 more than the offer on Newegg. I guess I should try to contact them, instead.
