I’m not sure whether they’re getting more new releases or just promoting them better, but I agree with your observation.

I’m an eReader fan going back to their PeanutPress days, and I’ve always found them to be one of the most responsive, easy-to-deal-with companies on the Internet.

I was a little nervous when I read about the merger with Fictionwise (I didn’t have nearly as high opinion of them), but I’ve seen some good signs. In addition to the RSS flow, I noticed that the now have a notice on the website that they’re “investigating” software for iPhones and Blackberries. That’s a big shift from just a few months ago when I inquired and they told me they had no plans to support Blackberries in the future.

(With Slingplayer on the way and eReader “investigating,” my preference for WinMob over Blackberry is getting slimmer and slimmer. If BB ever gets a touchscreen I can take notes on and fixes the reliability thing, I might jump.)

From the UMPC angle…
Don’t know if you had noticed this, but they even have a free OQO eReader Pro version
http://www.ereader.com/ereader/software/product/24654_pro_OQO.htm

Don’t know if it works on non-OQO small screen devices, but might worth a look for people with a UMPC. Would love to hear if anyone finds it useful on a non-OQO device.

Only thing is that it seems to be behind a point release from the main Windows version.
