Someone has to take a chance.
When I bought my first home computer people laughed at me: "What did you pay for that thing? It isn't a computer you know, it's a toy!"
But five years later our Comodore 64 had given way to an IBM compatible with more computing power than their 1960's era, $100 million mainframe.
Jenkie takes a chance with millions. I only have to risk a couple hundred and my risk is minimal. I know how the Jenkie v3 works because it has been reviewed. I know what eReader can do because I've used it for years on three other different kind of devices. I know what books are available for it because I've bought books from Fictionwise, eReader, Books on Board, B&N, etc. The only risk is if Astak doesn't sell the thing, in which case I can't guy one and I'm not risking anything.
Don't worry so much. It's only technology.
