NO! They have not mislead us.
Do you remember iRex company refusing to sell us the Iliad?
There was bloody revolution on MobileRead forum.
Some people have worked themselves into a frenzy over wanting to buy the device. Phoning to iRex, organizing campains, complaining, bickering, pleading, threatening, wailing ...
Mobileread: "WE WANT TO BUY ILIAD!"
iRex: "well, guys, we do not think it is a good idea. You see, it is still a beta product and it might not work as advertized"
Mobileread: "WE WANT TO BUY IT ANYWAY! YOU PROMISED TO HAVE IT READY BY NOW!"
iRex: "Let us sell it first to content providers and corporate customers first to test the unit"
Mobileread: "*WE* WANT TO BE YOUR PAYING BETATESTERS!!!"
iRex: "Ok guys, if you really, really insist, please send us an email ackgnovledging that you are aware that there might be some problems with Iliad reader, and that some features might not work as advertized ..."
Mobileread: "WE WANT IT, THERE IS AN EMAIL!!!"
iRex: "Sigh. OK. But we are still not sure it is a good idea ..."
Sorry for shouting ;-)
