Um, however, you might want to check over the current edition of a few things. It looks like a case of the right hand forgetting to tell the left hand that it made some last minute changes. 
As part of the write up under the pictures it says:
Leather Carrying Case Included
Almost all other eBook Readers want you to buy your case. This can add $29-$49 to your bill. Often, the case is not terribly good and the unit can fall out of the case OR you have to remove the case to use the eBook Reader. The case we include is leather, holds the unit like a vice, the front cover is hinged and the EZ Reader can be used in the case easily, and the magnetic clasp is the ideal closure. We think this is the ideal way to protect your investment and it costs you no more.
But when you go to the "Special Promotion" page it offers two bundles:
Package contents:
‧ AC Power Adapter
‧ Stereo Earbuds
‧ Wrist Leash
‧ User’s Manual
Promotion Bundle includes:
‧ AC Power Adapter
‧ Stereo Earbuds
‧ Wrist Leash
‧ User’s Manual
‧ Carrying Leather Case X 1 with Magnetic Clasp
( Retail Price USD$19.99)
‧ Two(2) 1GB SD Card
(Retail price $12.84)
Pre-loaded with 100 Classics Titles
‧ SD Card Reader
(Retail Price USD $ 9.99)
So what happened to that included leather case? I am not seeing it with the first option?  Actually I think it is really great that it is supposed to included so I hope that was not changed on you by the-powers-that-be.
This is almost enough to make me ask for one for Christmas despite my good intentions to wait for spring. The "almost" is because my kitchen has early 1970's backsplash tile & countertops that are older than me and the subfloor really needs replaced and new flooring put in. We just bought $270 in floor tile tonight (58 cents a square foot could not be passed up!). 7 years of living with it is finally too much. If I tell myself this enough times a day it helps the "I want an e-book reader now factor".
Good luck with the next round of website updates and I hope your visit with the retail chain reps in Chicago is/was fruitful.  |
Dear Sara:
YOU ARE RIGHT and my webmaster is wrong!! I personally apologize for some creative writing by our webmaster! In trying to make the bundle look valuable (and it is a nice deal) he overstated. Let me make this clear, while I strangle the person responsible, the EZ Reader COMES INCLUDED with the same exact "Leather" Crush-Resistent Case and the Ear Buds... whether you buy the bundle or just buy the unit without the bundle!!
IT IS INCLUDED!!! FREE!!! While the $299 price is valid! In the future
We WILL change the website and apologize for the confusion! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention!!
Profuse apologies.
Robert B
