Let me start by saying that I am in the US. Illinois, to be exact. It has been recommended to me that I look at the BeBook. I did, fell in love, now want it. However....
It has also come to my attention that the site selling BeBook is not a US site. The same device is called an EZ Reader by Astak and is sold through a couple of retailers online that I found, but all the sites I've found that sell the EZ Reader are just plain horrible. They don't list the formats supported, or they have no way to order the device, or the site is just down with no explanation. All three sites I found say "colors are available" but they aren't.
The Astak site itself throws me a page error on the page for the EZ Reader. This is frustrating enough to send me right back to BeBook's site, but can I order from them if I'm in the US? It does give the price in US Dollars so I'm assuming that would be an indication that I can; but what am I going to run into with customs fees, etc.? Has anyone here from the US ordered a BeBook and can tell me what your experience was like, please?
When I found this site two days ago (wow was it really only that long? I feel like I've been here for years), I was waffling between a Kindle and an ESlick. Now that I discovered there are devices that read all the formats I already have without making me convert everything, I'm re-thinking everything.
I'm even contemplating ordering a second device (which would probably be a Kindle) sometime in the future.
to all of you here for putting up with my ramblings and endless questions. You all have seemingly endless patience and tact, and I'm very grateful. Plus, you're all as crazy as I am. Who could ask for more?
