Stew: Can you straighten me out on whether the RCA-brand e-book is going to stand as GMST's entry in the e-book race? I see from the Thompson press release that GMST will provide the platform. Does that foreclose GMST from having its own entry, using the Rocket and NuVo books purchase, to come up with another e-book. In other words, are the patents which Yuen got from the double purchase exclusive to the RCA book, which, I note, is called REB ("R" for Rocket?). I recall--with qualification of a faulty memory--Henry saying at one time that he anticipated Thompson would manufacture some 300,000 e-books in time for the Christmas trade. There was no mention at the time of that they would carry the RCA name. Does that mean that Rocket books will be replaced by the RCA brand? How about NUVO? Or do we yet know secretive Henry's plans? FYI, glad to see you and Direwolf are posting here. I abandoned the deteriorated Yahoo GMST board (Diogenees) some time ago in view of the sophomoric and obscene postings. Best regards. Len
