I honestly don't see how it could be Astak's fault.

Fry's sells a lot of EZReaders in the store. Astak would hurt if they threatened to pull the EZReader unless Fry's agreed to sell/ship it online. They have no control over Fry's business plan.

Does it hurt Astak that they are losing some sales via Fry's online? Yes, of course. But it would hurt even more by not having the Fry's stores sales.

The fact that Fry's refuses to sell/ship the EZReader online is the fault of only Fry's, not of Astak.

As far as this Holiday Rebate...a couple factors...

1. The fact that Fry's raised the prices before the 30 dollar rebate.

2. Fry's storefronts staffs lack of knowledge about the $30 rebate.

Robert simple told us what the extra savings would be according to Fry's current trend of EZReader pricing.

Fry's dropped the ball on this one, big time.

This may have been a semi-last-minute sale proposal between Fry's and Astak, regardless, a lot of EZReaders have possibly missed being sold because of miscommunications.
