But its still a drop in an ocean compared to lots of 'the uninformed' out there.
Same as with iPod really. There are HEAPS of perhaps much better mp3 players available, but majority only know and use iPod. Which basically creates a monopoly in the market.

Dear Smarty:
Agree! It is kinda like me. I have an iPod. I have had it three years. It has good sound. I always hawk the MP3 stereo on the EZ Reader and PocketPRO. I did an ear-by-ear comparison using the most expensive noise cancelling headphones I could find (Audio-Technica) and the sound is superior on the Astak!! That ALWAYS draws a big YAWN!! Nobody cares. Me? I LOVE my MP3 and cram all my music onto my Pocket PRO. I even found a convertor so I can convert iTunes to MP3 and load it on my Pocket PRO. If I am flying... I am reading and listening!! But, I still draw that big yawn. I know nobody buys an EZ Reader to listen to music... but it IS a hell of a neat PLUS!!
I appreciate your efforts. I keep trying. Maybe when the PLUS is selling I can wake up some reviewers. The problem is most reviewers think three ways:
1. If it ain't a iPad it ain't worth reviewing.
2. If it is an eBook Reader and costs more than $149 it ain't worth reviewing.
3. If it ain't B&N, Amazon, or Sony... it is likely crap. AND... without wireless it just hasta be crap!
I read this morning where B&N lost some $31 MILLION on their eBook Readers and they are overjoyed! If I lose $5 I catch hell! This seems like a one-sided fight!
