Dear All:

Frankly, I was astonished when I first found out that there are geographical boundaries on eBooks. I think it is a real pain and I wish I could change it!

So, being with Astak as I am, I talked with Books On Board. What happens is the publishers put up the geographic boundaries.

Now, I will meet with the top brass of BoB at the CES show next week. I will talk up this whole thing of WHY people have to wait all the way to the end to find out they cannot buy.

I have heard you and I agree. Maybe I can get something done or at least find out why not!!

At Astak we sell the "EZ Reader" and "Mentor" eBook Reader lines and we think they are the best out there. BUT...we also try to listen and solve problems with eBooks in general.
