Dear all:
FRY's.com and some FRY's stores are out of stock on the EZ Reader. This is because they ran a sale that brought the price down to rather incredibly low levels and we were in the midst of ordering from Jinke. SO... we are out of stock now also. The next shipment should arrive the first week in May.
As I have mentioned before, FRY's sets their own pricing. We had envisioned that they would occasionally have them on sale at $269... not the prices they are charging. We are trying to get FRY's to not sell under $259 so we can please other stores that want to carry the EZ Reader. Instead, their price is driving everybody else into not wanting to carry the device... which is Astak's problem.
I apologize for this confusion. The fact is that the EZ Reader is an outstanding eBook Reader worth every penny at $299. FRY's, rather than getting the batteries installed in the demo devices working on the store shelves so that people could try them and see the value, decided to drop the price way down. Of course, at this low price there was a landslide of sales and it was unanticipated.
Please wait two weeks so we can re-supply FRY's and talk with them (not an easy thing to do).
