Re: Etymological origins of ekodi

Thanks, Chris, for your lead on ekodi. Will look into it.

The Pocket Tipitaka can be put into a pocket as befitting its name. But the
new version is for Android OS in a tablet that is the same size as an iPad.
I tried to ask for just the app to put into my Samsung Galaxy, but the
producers said they don't have any intention to market the app.

Dhammagāravena,
Esako
