Calling it quits with Entourage

I had such high hopes last year when I bought me EE. I am visually impaired and was looking for an e-ink reader that would offer good zoom capability to help read PDFs for work. I was assured that the upgrade (when available) would allow me to zoom in to basically one letter per page if I so desired. Numerous updates came and went and still only had the 4 levels of zoom. Some books it was fine, but others, it was not enough.

Then Ermine beta gets release over a year after the product launched and we get landscape and as a result get more effective zoom. Its buggy, but its still beta.

Then I hear rumors of Entourage possibly going bye-bye.

That's it. I've had enough.

I sold my EE to another and hopefully, she will get good use out of it.

Its been fun all, but I must bow out for now. Maybe if ES remains viable and speeds up the dev cycle, I may come back, but I'm done for now.

Take care all and keep the forums going. They are so helpful.

Well, goodbey for now Craig. Sad to see one of the early forum-members leaving the ship. Hope to see you back soon.

Sad to see you go, old friend.

All the best, brauckmiller. If you do find another device that works for you, come back and let us know!

Good luck out there!

I hope you find something that works really well for you. It's a shame enTourage wasn't able to follow through on their intentions as quickly as I'm sure they, and everyone, would have liked.

I fear losing my sight probably more than anything. I watched a relative lose hers to macular degeneration; when she could no longer read she basically gave up. Reading is that important to a lot of us, whether for work or pleasure. Please do report back if you come across a worthy device!

I'm the one that bought brauckmiller's EE in perfect condition and at a great price, and I'm enjoying it immensely. Craig, I'm truly sorry it didn't work out for you, but it has a good home and is much appreciated!

Glad it's happy in its new home, and welcome, Jan!
