With S&H from Bookeen to New York, the 1/2 up-front comes to just under $18,000. No, for those who ask, we're not 'swimming in profit' on this deal. And, had our CC processors been willing to kick the money loose, we'd already gotten orders for the full 100 units, with more queuing (queueing?) right up behind to place their orders for the next batch. And others waiting eagerly for the remainder. Our sole problem is our (lack of) history in fulfilling orders. (Like, wow, what a concept!?! A start-up which doesn't have years of history in fufilling orders! )
