Hi Pieter

First off, thanks for the kind words!

We're feeling so good it's hard to explain. The Associated Press
writeup was huge for us. And the Amazon sales numbers... well, those
are hard to believe.

Personally I'm feeling refresh again (we've had a difficult last 12
months). Probably taking the morning off to surf helped, too :)

We have so many ideas that build on the work we started with the
phones. So the fact that WikiReader is looking good so far is great
news. But like you said, it's only a start. We need to bring these
open / access ideals to more and more people. Please help us if you
have time. We'd love to see more language support for the WikiReader.
Or just spread the word when you can. Building consumer products is
extremely expensive. We need to sell a lot to keep our independence.
And that's so important for everything that we stands for and want to
become.
