I concur. My preferred colour of choice would also be blue. But not just any blue. Not sky blue, and not turquoise (pronounced "ter-QUAH") but a real earthy deep dark blue.
You don't really see any earthtone shades in most electronics. They're almost always neon or bright vibrant colours. Whatever happened to pastels? I think earthtones are also pastels, but dark pastels. Anyway, I'd like to see some readers with these colourtones. Also, not glossy. Pastels should be in a flat color. Probably with a sandy/lightly gritted texture. Easy to grip, less obvious to scratches, no smudges. It would also give it a more durable feel. But anyway, Blue for me as well. |

Blue about blue!!
ARGHH-H-H!!! Dear Maggie:
My favorite color is Electric Blue. I carry around an Electric Blue EZ Reader all over the country. So, I am True Blue. BUT. when we were selling colored-body 6 inch EZ Readers the blue seemed to be the last thing anyone wanted. Now one of the owners wants "PURPLE"!! I think that is not too great but am open. Your post is forceful so I will reconsider the blue. I have attached the colors we went with last time. Is my blue a bad blue? Maroon was the big favorite last time. |

Griffonwing demands blue too!!

I am going to try to get some Pantone color swabs to post. If not: I will post the website where all pantone colors can be viewed and you can tell me what number codes you like. Right now I am looking at Pantone colors #219 for the pink, #381 for the green, and #241 for the purple. I am attaching the maroon and blue from last time. Criticism is of course expected. ANYBODY can join in the fun!! Pick a Pantone Color (I will post the website for those unfamiliar with Pantone Color Charts) for the EZ Reader Pocket PRO 5 inch!! Just pick a good BLUE as one of your selections!! |

Explaining Epson Controller
Quote:
Five years ago when the Kindle was only an evil gleam in Daddy Amazon's eyes, the first eBook Readers were being planned by PVI. PVI tried to get a professional controller company to design a controller but there was NO INSTALLED BASE and the controller companies all laughed. PVI had to design a controller from scratch. It was good enough, but not fast! NOW, with an installed base of almost 1.75 MILLION eBook Readers, Epson has decided that eBook Readers are worthy of a fast controller. Essentially, the Epson controller is anywhere from 3x to 5x faster than the old PVI controller on page turns. While some have said the speed in not that significant, the people on this forum want the fastest!! In a nutshell, that is the story, sir!! |

Talk Pantone Colors
Dear All:
Anyone wanting to get in on the fun of picking colors for the new EZ Reader Pocket PRO, please go to: www.hessler.com/pantone.php and let me know what you like. Brecklundin, please help, sir! Pantone is a chart of colors. Under each color you will find a 3 digit or 4 digit code like 219 or 241 or 381. Let me know what you like. Specifically, we are looking for: blue, red or maroon, lime green, purple, and pink. Am open to silver if you fall in love with a silver. We can only go with 4 colors as Black and White have to be a part of the order of six. Let's have a little fun!! |

My choice is 2965 PC - A dark slate blue.
Also, the link didn't work. Here's a direct link to the PDF http://www.hessler.com/PANTONE(R)%20...0PC%20copy.pdf |

Better Pantone website
The Hessler website sometimes goes and sometimes errors.
Please try: http://www.australiasigns.com.au/qso...lor-chart.html This one always works and the numbers are easier to read. For BLUE, I kinda like PMS2728 and PMS 280. For green I kinda like: PMS 111 For maroon I kinda like:PMS 174 and PMS180 For pink I kinda like: PMS189 and PMS224 and PMS218 For purple mabe: 2592 Open to any recommendations!! |
