In addition to the wiki page AJ Starr mentioned, the E-book Reader Matrix has a good summary. It lists Adobe PDF and ePub as its DRM formats. This is correct for a standard Hanlin V5, but in addition the Astak EZ Reader Pocket Pro will also support eReader format and DRM as soon as it is available. This will be the case on all Astak devices, see Adobe Digital Editions for EZ Reader.

And being 5 days technically overdue for a baby to be born is making me learn more about patience this week than I wanted to so waiting for the Pocket Pro isn't so bad at the moment.

This leads to some funny (?) images in my mind. I see a pregnant mom [pushing] while she reads an ebook with her arms propped up on her knees. Why not, I read everywhere else (in lines, while walking, while in the restroom, and I have the Kindle talk to me while I am driving).

Then again I can see a 1-panel cartoon of the same scene. In this one a husband is standing anxiously nearby. However, instead of worrying about mommy or the baby he is staring at the reader and declaring: "be careful honey, you know how easy the screens on those things break."

Honey, have you thought of a name for our new son?

"Yes. His name is Iliad Kindle"

We're hoping to show Robert that the interest is still here. I'm wondering how many we can get to "stand up and be counted".

Can we get a ..... 14?

New EZ-Reader Website
I went to the old Astak Web site and saw that they had added a download section for the EZ-Reader, however the two firmware files listed were greyed out.

I wanted a backup of the firmware so I created an account hoping that I would then be able to download the firmware - but no good.

So I emailed tech support yesterday asking why I could not download the firmware,

Well I must say Robertb does not exaggerate when he says they provide the best customer service - I received a reply within a couple of hours.

Well folks they have a NEW SITE - See their response below -

Hi,

We have been working on a new website for the EZ Reader, so now you can download firmware from the brand new site here: http://www.theezreader.com/index.asp
Just click on "Support", then choose "Firmware download" from the drop-down menu.

Best regards,

I tried to order the Pocket Pro before griffonwing gets all the slate blue, but so far you can only buy the EZ-Reader.

Take a look - they have a 360 of the Pocket Pro

That is still the January firmware. Looks like the new firmware that has been promised is still cooking.

So, anybody find the proclamations of a 'new lifestyle' on that new website annoying? I don't want a "brand new lifestyle" I just want to live my current lifestyle more efficiently and with perhaps a bit less clutter.

Me, I think anyone looking to buy one of these things to get an all new lifestyle is bound for disappointment. What does that even mean nowadays?
