Entourage Systems, Inc. has suddenly discontinued both their original, and pocket, eDGe Dualbooks as of late May 2011. Here is a new, unofficial support forum for all you orphaned users (run by an avid user who is not associated in any way, with the company...totally free, no strings attached):
i think the 6 in eink screen is a little too small to write ... can any1 who used it give me an opinion? i like everything else the only reason im not buying it cuz of the small screen size 2 small 2 write on it ... i know theres a touch screen but ... not available in canada ..
@zombiecarrot on entourage edge 2.0 it is 9.7 inch the size of and ipad screen it uses a pen for the e-ink screen the one that is 9.7" and finger or pen for the other colour screen 10.1inch it is about 3/4 the size of an a4 paper
The KNO will be more useful but the dumb butts decided not to wait to add color e-ink instead of lcd screens that I have on my computer. If I want to read on an lcd screen I'll just read on my comp for christ's sake. BOO KNO!
Its very slow. Get the bebook neo or onyx 60 if you want to annotate pdfs fast. the large eink screen in entourage is wasted because you can only really view pdfs vertically and you cannot zoom worth a crap.
What i think would be really cool with this is that if you could write an email...and write the email and then what you write would turn into text...it looks like a great device...i really want to get one
Although the Kno is also a dualscreen, it doesn't have the e-ink display this one has. Sexier? Yeah it does look more feminine. The Kno is considerably more pricey, when catering to students that's something to watch out for.
2 times 14" is pretty sweet though but not having e-ink for lenghty reading sessions is a killer as far as I'm concerned.
I wouldn't mind using the Entourage eDGe; I personally like the device! However, I don't know if it would be necessary that I buy a device like that, since I have a netbook and according to the official site for the eDGe, it is a e-reader, netbook, notepad and audio/video device all-in-one.
This device is absolutely super! ipad is worthless by comparison (well...actually even with no comparison) . If they could make it as sleek as the cancelled ms courier it would be PERFECT! We' ll have to settle on the appearance issue I guess.

I am very much looking forward to my entourage edge arriving in the mail but I find this ad to be a real turn-off. It reminds of an infomercial. Some competitors have made some much better promotional videos.
I'm very impressed with this new product. Hats off to the team who invented such a useful device. Terrific concept. Powerful presentation. Very, very well done.
They never should have hired the infomercial type people to make this video for the device. Could have been way better. Acting sucks, music sux. I'd rather see it all simulated. Still the device is pretty rad. it's actually bigger in the hands than I thought. I wonder how tight it feels in the flip back position.
It's an informercial straight from the 90s

isn't there a simple ebook reader that just views ebooks on an eink screen without all the other unnecessary stuff that would just eat the battery

I'd rather get a Kno dual tablet instead because it's much more useful and looks sexier.

This was a logical step to do what Microsoft did not with their Courier.

I see it will support Flash 10 soon. I guess Steve Jobs will be eating his words. Apple will have to support Flash or be left in the dust.

I wonder what apple is thinking when they see what this thing can do. It looks like they missed the boat with the ipad.
