However, I think that my confirmation did not reiterate the color, so I hope I did select the blue one.

Might want to have the confirmation page show the colors when your team gets some sleep.

Thanks Robertb, for the great work.

Now we can start bugging you about when they will be shipped.

PS Robert, when you get the professional photos, you aught to use one for your Avatar.....
Nor did it even specify that it was the 5" EZ Reader. It just said "Item# E-Book Readers".

Dear Slayda:

As mentioned, all of this came about a week before we were ready. Therefore the website confirmation was pretty non-specific.

Tomorrow they will mail out a full confirmation on all pre-orders specifying the color and the model and such!!

It is coming!! Thank you!! Glad your prder at least went thru!!

Dear tneken:

Our Mentor Lite is identical to the Cool-er as far as features and specs. That means it has the same processor.

Our EZ Reader Pocket PRO DOES have Epson controller and 400 MHZ processor, and 8 level grey scale, and ADE, and Text-To-Speech and 6 colors and a lot more... for $229!

What do you expect from someone typing with a puppet on their hand.

So, a puppet huh? Is that his excuse for his one-handed typing?

JS, I am honest. Maybe they should have out a slight cut-out into the case but they did not. Maybe on the next batch we can have that change made.

There are page turn buttons on the right side (and the left side). On the right side the "9" and "0" buttons serve as page turn buttons!!
Is there a go to page feature?

What I'd like ot know, is there going to be an EZ Reader with a 6" screen with the updated hardware that the 5" model got? I'm looking to maybe get my mother-in-law a new reader to replace her old 500 for Christmas and if I did get an EZ Reader for her, I'd want the Epson controller, the 400mhz processor, ADE, at least 8 shades, and a 6" screen. Is this a possibility of an EZ Reader like this that could be bought and received before Christmas?

HI RobertB,

I haven't been talking much lately but still taking an eye on this thread....so I'm here asking you when it will come out a 9"-9.7" Mentor with Epson controller?....
Because as you can imagine, to read technical books, which they are mainly in PDF format, it's better to have a A4-format e-Reader, possibly with reflow functionality....
And obviously also with many book formats like ePub and stuffs which I think for example ePub will be diffuse here in Italy....

Ciao!
Luigi
