Funny if you go to the spotbuy website on the banner is Astak. Quite possibly this could have been a unit all produced and labelled ready for Astak to sell (and consequently the deal fell through), instead Spot Buy bought them up and brought them to Australia. To add to this if you go to
http://www.spotbuy.com.au/epages/sps...ort%20ebook%22 (spotbuy support page) it mentions one should keep looking at
www.ezread.com.au for ebooks, which was part of the Astak ebook store, and did work, then at some point it redirected to ezread.com (doesn't now - directory listing error, but the primary/secondry DNS servers are ns1.myezread.com and ns2.myezread.com, an Astak owned domain). Anyone recall Robert mentioning great things were going to happen in Australia with Astak?? Perhaps this was it but it didn't actually happen.
If I get a chance in the coming week I shall go in and take a further look and report back, and the DS website is mis-reporting it being from Elonex (however this is another reader that spotbuy also bring into Australia).
