Thank you, Robert, for the information on the possibility of the Astak ez reader might be coming to the East Coast. J&R is located close to Wall Street and the Ground Zero Site. I work few blocks away from the J&R store and visit the store from time to time. It carries many products within the stores. I always go there to check out the actual items (if it's available) before I ordered online. Sometimes J&R offers a very good deal on an item, especially on clearence/close-out items. The point of if any Astak products (ebook readers) would be available at J&R store means there might be a good chance of future Astak products will be available at the J&R store too. J&R is a very good store with many local customers and tourists from other countries.

I ordered the 5" EZ Pocket Pro + 1 extra battery from Astak.com last week. According to the tracking information provided by Astak (tracking received the same day), the package will be deliver on 01/20/2001. Other online stores such as CarToys and Newegg are selling the the 5" EZ PP for $230 + freeshipping. One of the reasons I am buying an Astak item is based on the good Astak customer service/support I read on this forum, especially Robert's helpful responds on other users/people's questions/requests. It gives me a feeling of Astak is taking care of their customers and not turning it's back on them. Robert, you just got one more Astak customer because of you.

I am looking forward to my soon to arrive Ezreader Pocket Pro and future Astak products. I am sure the Ezreader Pocket Pro will not be the only Astak product I use/buy in the future. I will keep my eyes on Astak's future products.

P.S. The Ezreder Pocket Pro will be my first Ebook Reader.
