Here's hoping you get it soon. It's still only 1:45 PM in California.

I totally agree with this. I would like to be able to read without my reading glasses and the tiny font size in the menus is a huge negative for me.

A memory issue? I don't think any readers use NiCad batteries. And even that was a myth I think. http://www.repairfaq.org/ELE/F_NiCd_Memory.html

Astak Reader accessories?
Does anyone know if Astak has additional accessories that can be purchased for their ebook readers? It would be great if I could find an integrated cover with light, similar to the items that Sony has for its ebook readers (the light wedge would be ideal).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

- on 14 September I was notified by the Post Office that I can come to pick it up.

The good news is that you don't pay customs tax. The bad news is that you pay the VAT.

The charges is the US type, not the European one. However, I read on the Bebook forum that I can use my iPod charger. So I am now waiting for the 12 hours first charge to end, so I can start loading it with my books.
Is it a 110-220V charger? Which would mean you only need a converter for the pins. (so no voltage converter required...)

Any accessories that work with any of the other Hanlin readers and rebrands should work fine with the Astak ones.

Yes. Also, any USB charger (like the iPod charger) should work.

That exactly what I use for my BeBook... An iPod wallcharger with USB connection, works excellent with the reader, and I can also keep reading while charging with a long enough USB cable

Don't have an ipod so I don't have a charger either. But I do have a sonim, and I believe that does have an USB charger. But are all USB chargers made equal?

(I do have a converter, as I needed that for my JE100)

All USB wall chargers SHOULD be made equal yes. As long as they adhere to the USB-standard and delivering 5 volts to the reader.

The micro USB chargers that follows the standard should short circuit the signal lines. I suppos mini USB chargers can differ depending if the do that or not.

Have you come across any sites where accessories for the Hanlin rebrands have been sold? I'll take a closer look at all of the possibilities, but if you know of a location where these things can be found it would be a great help. Thanks again!

Not as far as lightwedges goes. It's not something I have been looking for myself. So I can't help you there really.
