What happens if they only raise $10-15,000? There's no way they're going to produce an ereader with that. Have they said what will happen in that instance? Will they refund everyone's money?

Apparently they have said they'll try, but I wonder whether consumers have any recourse at all when it's this style of funding. So far there are fifteen backers.
I'll admit that there is a cynical part of me that wonders whether this is why they chose indiegogo. Caveat emptor, that's all I'm gonna say. (What's the closest Latin equivalent for "crowdfunding backers"? )
