What is the benefit to you? You can become an "Astak Fan" and recieve news of Firmware Upgrades, new products, new promotions and stuff to make your Pocket PRO even more of your life. Yes, I know how many will say "I do not want to be bothered". But, knowing about things that pleasurably impact your Pocket PRO or EZ Reader Basic should not be considered a bother (we sincerely hope). Astak is not like other firms. We are smaller, do NOT even consider "selling " your name and contact info, and do VERY few notifications.
We hoped this would be looked upon as good news. You have already purchased the product (most of you) so why not become an Astak Fan.
By the way, you CAN enter the contest and decline becoming a fan. But, why would you??

Oh well, I don't really want to sign up for Facebook (or Myspace or Twitter). I don't have much use for the social networking sites and I've seen reports of home owner's insurance companies raising the rates on people who are members of those sites (some people tend to provide too much info making easier for thieves to target their homes when they are out of town).
I was mainly interested in sending this to my sister, who was very interested in my Pocket Pro. She may already have a Facebook account, so I'll go ahead and send her the information.
edit - There isn't (or wasn't yesterday when I looked at it) anything on the sweepstakes page that says you have to be a member of Facebook to participate in it until you fill out all of the info and try to submit it which then just takes you to a log in page. In the future, you may want to add something stating that you have to be a member of Facebook to participate. Since I wasn't hoping to win one for myself, I'm not all that annoyed, but I would have just sent the link to my sister instead of trying to enter myself if that had been clear beforehand.
