Dear Griffonwing:

Use Antoff to get rid of the ants. They have fire ants in Arkansas, don't they?

Yes, the video is shot and Iris is editing now. I hope to get it up Thursday. It will be about 5 minutes and the video was done in our conference room. It is not professional; but it does show the page turns, all the colors, all the sides, font increases, verticle/horizontal display, what it can do showing a picture in 8 level grey scale, the case and how the Pocket PRO is locked in and will not fall out, and a lot more.

IF we get good feedback we will try to go more in-depth next time on TTS and other benefits.

Great news about the video! I can't wait to watch.

As for Antoff.. no good. Antoff is the bane of my existence. When ladies see me coming, they spray themselves with it and I can't get near them. I call to them from 30 feet away and they laugh derisively at me. I am shunned.

No, I cannot belive that! You have a flare for living, a fabulous sense of humor, great intellect, and Southern charm. Nope... you would be a lady killer!! I think you do quite well!

Imagine having chum (ground up fish and blood) being thrown at you!! Far better to be shunned!

Besides, women throw chum at you and you have to deal with the land sharks!

Any news yet re shipping cost for more than 1 unit. Have place order for one already, and desperately wishing to add to the order, but for the cost of shipping (US$40 for one, and US$80 for two!).

Dear rling:

Yes, Michael just got back to me.

There is a cheap method but we cannot use it. It provides no tracking info and we have to have that for insurance purposes.

If we put two Pocket PRO into one box the cost including insurance is $72.

I am sorry. I cannot get it cheaper than $72! AND... we are selling at $199 and have no margin so I cannot take money off the cost either.

I want your daughter to get her Fuscia Pink but I cannot do much more!

I've been searching , and I can find any mention that the Pocket Pro would only ever be available online. Maybe you could point out where he said that?

Can the default fonts for the EZ Reader Pro be changed ? i.e. is it possible for the user to upload their own fonts into the device if they wish ?

Personally I think he should ship to those of us in the East first because of longer shipping time.
If that was the case, then I should get mine way before anyone else in Continental US...

That's the price I have to pay for living overseas. Will take the discount. What do I need to do to place the order for a pink unit?

As the FAQ states, create a fonts folder named 'fonts', and add any Truetype font you want.
