$239 for the EZ Reader was a great price... but we did not see the cooperation we had thought we would see to really make this a banner sale.

Hi Robert... I am not pleased with the Fry's sale over the weekend either.. I order the ezreader at 12:30pm edt... or 9:30am your time and everything went kind of smooth.. It was sold at $249... and then you got the $30 mail in rebate. I'm not sure if it was because I am Canadian and had a USA address or what.. but after going through a few hoops with Frys customer service, they told me that it would be shipped on Monday morning. ( I had taken the 2 day shipping ) and it would be here on Wednesday... I went online today (Monday) and saw that it was partial backordered. I clicked on my order # and saw that it was backordered.. I just got off the phone with customer service and they told me that they didn't even have a date for inventory... So consequently I canceled my order. I only have a limited time that I am at my US address, so I can't play the guessing game... It's too bad, because I really liked the ezreader.... Frys really screwed up this time and it looks bad for Astak. Kind of like guilty by association... I hope this doesn't happen with the pocket pro... Well, I feel a little better after venting, but Frys will never get any business from me from now on... Hopefully you can get to the bottom of this fiasco Robert...
