Dear Mklynds:
Thank you. Yes, I surely hope it will be a hiccup also. What has happened is we have kinda put Jinke on the map in North America and Jinke is feeling its oats. We talked to a lot of major retailers about designs for them made by Jinke and one of those retailers wonders why they need Astak. It is always a risk when you go out to help and inform and some retailer thinks they know it all and want to deal direct. Unfortunately, Jinke has no knowledge of the North American market and the retailer has no experience whatsoever with eBooks or working with the Chinese.
It is kind of like McDonalds figuring that they should put a Russian manicure station in each of their restuarants in the USA. There is a lack of expertise in that specialty on both sides.
Now, Griffonwing with his talk show idea IS brilliant. That could really help. That someone who walks around with a parrot on his shoulder and a sword would come up with a brainstorm... THAT is something. Question is: how much of a role did the parrot play? Was it the parrot's idea??
