All your bashing, and you've yet to call?

FYI -> I shut down the link removed site, not godaddy, not Amazon...

I'll say it plainly...

I thought of the idea a week or so ago, bought the domain, built the site, twittered like crazy, made a lot of sales (which as of tonight have been refunded in full via PayPal), and caused a buzz that seems to have taken on life of its own.

The rest of the story...

I had authors, and an angel investor backing me for 1,000 units.

The reality...

This board, and a few others like it, didn't do their homework (I didn't receive one phone call to even attempt to hear my story), and ultimately you just pissed off a lot of people who would have received a Kindle DX at half price.

GREAT JOB! Want a cookie?
