I really want to see the 5" Astak reader can be wider available in many stores and I can check it out in person from local stores (New York City)...Thanks.

The price point on the 5" is really tight. The original intent was to offer it only directly from Astak to avoid mult-level markups. But the unit was too good and dealers are demanding it. There were many dealers and even distributors hounding the booth at CES so I expect the 5" will be available in more stores. Cartoys has it in their retail stores by the way. It is going to be hard to hold the price point below $200 I would expect unless you do things like removing the case and charger like the competition does.
