For me I want to read technical documentation that's released by Pragmatic Programmers or others in terms of the type of material I'm reading. Can you take something that has a mixture of graphics and text and show us what that looks like? Any finance book with charts for example.

Sure, just post the PDF here, tell me what page and what zoom, and I'll e-mail you the picture of how it will look.

It's about one month ago that Foxit released the last video about eslick. We want to see more of eslick in action. Because we like it.:1_12:

Thanks for interesting. Our marketing team are working on them.

A couple of other tips. You should make a 3-D applet to let you rotate the eslick around to show how thin it is.

Also, on the eslick reader overview page - "Specification" and "Limited Warranty" should be pulled down next to key features and instead of popping up over the picture of the e-slick, make the area that lists the key features change to the specifications or warranty if people press the respective link.

Good suggestion! I have forwarded it to our Marketing team. Thanks!

Thanks for this advice. I've talked to our art team to work on improving it. I think we can put "Specification" and "Limited Warranty" two buttons right next to the "Key features" button, probably like a tab layout, when people click on what button, the whole contents below this button will be displayed fully.

Re making a 3-D applet, we're working on this also. Thanks for those good points.

Glad to help. It looks much better now that those tabs don't popup over the e-slick. One further recommendation I have is that right now in the overview tab the text actually goes over part of the background image for the e-slick. You don't want that because you want the layout to emphasize it's sleekness and it makes it look cluttered.

I would recommend crushing that box horizontally so that you can move it over to the right (so it's off the image). I also recommend putting it all in a gray box, similar in color to the background for the tabs or the little gray and orange graphics. I would further split it so that everything above the "Note: ...." is as is in it's own black box within the gray one.

I would put that chunk of text from the "note:" on down in it's own orange box with black lettering.

"Be eSlick and take all your documents everywhere you go!"
Introductory Price: $259.99 ($299.99 MSRP) excluding taxes and shipping fee.

I would cut that down to:

"Be eSlick, take your documents everywhere you go!"
Introductory Price: $259.99 ($299.99 MSRP)

This would allow you to pull all the text further over to the right without changing fonts or sizes (which I think are pretty good).

I would eventually get rid of this line: "We will release shipping costs soon." once you've got that sorted out and instead put a box underneath the "Introductory Price" line that says "Calculate Tax & Shipping". I would make it create a pop-up window (ie via browser, not just css or whatever was being used to put that box over the eslick image).

That window would allow someone to input their state and zip code and get tax/shipping calculated and displayed within the popup window, as well as a total with them included. The popup would then display the option to choose a color, as well as an "add to cart" button within the popup window, that when pressed would close the popup and redirect the main window to the shopping cart (with an eslick of the appropriate color added to it).

Hope this helps!

hello,
im interested in a foxit eslick. when will it be available in germany?
is it possible that someone post a picture of the following pdf in reflow mode

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/middle-earth_quest/middle-earth-quest-rules/MEQ_Rules_Web.pdf

it is a rulebook for a boardgame with nearly 9mb with several pictures. i want to know if it's good readable.

is the reflow function also available in scanned pdf documents?

thanks in advance for your help

Well, I think my eSlick will blow up when I will feed it with that one. I think in reflow mode it is going to be pretty good mess if the software can process it at all. For that book you need a reader with 9'' screen size and perhaps then it is readable in full screen mode.

In my point of view eSlick and I think most of e-readers (without keyboard and search option) are bad for reference books. They are more for reading novels.

[andir]

thank you Jux, thats what i expected to hear, guess i will need to wait for the next gen of ebook reader with bigger screen and faster hardware i guess.
