And Sony gets my money for a PRS-650 that arrives this morning. I had really wanted to wait until you had a new unit out and give it a chance, but Abt.com offered the deal that I hoped to get on Black Friday for an included cover and I opted to go for it instead of waiting another month. RobertB earned my trust and even after he was gone I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt because I like the Jinke product line. I do believe you have a new unit lined up and have read a few hints that it will be very nice, but it's not available yet. Sony offered offered everything I wanted for functionality and nothing I didn't want with the PRS-650 and Abt.com offered a price tag I was willing to pay. A user-replacable battery would have been nice, but I can take part of my cell phone apart to fix a jammed key, I can deal with a battery. I also really like the Pocketbook 602/603 and nearly bought one of those units, but the Pearl screen tipped me over to the Sony PRS-650.

Today is November 8, 2010. At this point I really doubt Astak will have a new device ready for sale and availabe for purchase before Black Friday November 26, 2010 (the day after the US's Thanksgiving Holiday and traditional start of the holiday shopping season). Therefore good luck to you for your company's e-book division's survival because sadly I think you will need it.

I am doing this as a new thread to show Astak specifically a lost sale. Anybody else out there tired of waiting?
