EZ Reader True??

The attachment shows a prototype of the "old" Hanlin V9 by Jinke.... an updated version of which will be the EZ Reader True.

The picture utilizes a shot of the Sony 505 just to show size comparisons.

We know that the V9 pictured had to be held up, as a screen that large would crack too easily. Doing a little surmizing, the new version will still appear pretty close to this shot although the V9t will be touchscreen and may not have all these controls. We do know it will also be revamped to add the Epson Controller, Touchscreen, Wi-Fi or 3G, SCRATCH (write directly on the screen), Flexi screen, and note-taking.

Jinke's own study of Text-To-Speech (like Amazon V2) is that it is not at all perfected and sounds boring with no inflection. IF it can be improved it may appear on the new version. Right now it is considered a gimmick that does not work.

Please remember I am surmizing only... but it is food for thought.
