You don't shop Newegg much, do you?
I have a GPS waiting to be wrapped up as a gift that I snagged about 2 weeks ago for $59 that is currently being sold everywhere else for $159. It wasn't a one day deal, just a great deal. But it's gone now.
What happens in situations like this is that sometimes a company who is trying to break into a market (like Aluratek is) negotiates a reduced rate w/ a high profile retailer like Newegg to get brand recognition. Only geeks like us realize that this is the same Jetbook hardware.
Newegg quite often has offers that seem 'too good to be true.' And then you open the box and there's an extra battery inside that wasn't even listed in the description and you feel like writing an Ode to Newegg.
I hope, for your sake, if you do want to buy it, that it's still available and on sale when you are ready...but I wouldn't assume that just because the 'combo price' is listed till 12/31 that the sale price on the reader will last that long. Or that the supply of readers will last that long!
ETA that Black is totally sold out again and they've put White on sale. Limit 3 per customer. Word is getting around, I guess!
ETA again- Russell, I fail to see how you could say that the Jetbook Lite is a better deal. Rechargeable batteries and charging units aren't cheap, either. I fail to see the logic there. Please explain?
