Chances are I won't get down there to pick it up till the first week of October, at which point I'll have to instantly turn around at the Post Office and ship it back

So, some questions:

1) Any Canadians order one yet, and had to pay extra for Customs? How much more was the shipping?

2) Robertb said something about letting them sit longer to let the rubber coating cure, am I reading that right? So technically, if it's been sitting an extra couple of weeks, might it set properly and I'll be happy with it, or am I dreaming?

3) What is the return process, are we to email them, and they'll email me a return shipping label? ETA: Just read what griffonwing quoted, that Astak would send a shipping label....

Ugh. I do still hope I'll love it
Dear suzymca:

Actually, yes, the sitting at the U.S. post office should serve you well. Ours here are fine now and are not exhibiting any problems. The paint should have set and yours should be fine unless the paint peeling started already (very slight chance).

Suzy... we are very sorry for this doubt and inconvenience and frustration. We DO stand behind the product and we will make it right if it is not already. Do not let this ruin the fact that this is a great ebook reader and in short order should be outstanding in every way.
