First:
the iliad is 600$!
and 8.1 is smaller than 9.7!
why shouldnt astak compete with the iliad? why do they have toproduce ONLY a cheap device?
I dont see the point for a 9.7 device which can only show books. its oversized i think.
oh, and astak has ts as optional feeature, so ithink their way is very good.for you and for me
edit: sorry for my typing, damn inet cafe keyboard
