They responded with a link back to their site (which I had visited earlier) and which only lists the original Inkpad and NOT the Inkpad 2.

Such idiots!

I then sent a calm email back, explaining that their site did not list the Inkpad 2 - the one I was interested in - but rather the original Inkpad.

Let us ponder this for a moment, as we collectively ask this question: "What is the best way not to sell a new product, specifically, this product?"

Color me perplexed and (actually) amused.

ADDED: I should also mention that I was referred to the French site, after having written to the international site. They told me that the French site is the one that can ship to a USA address. By the way, if anyone is interested, the price is 40 euros to ship to the USA. But you might not get the correct Inkpad....you know.....the NEW one.
The French site are also the idiots who took my money and then gave me the silent treatment.

I ended up having to bring down the wrath of Pocketbook HQ on them.
