I say "go with your strength". If that means supporting legacy products longer than Amazon or B & N would, then it is a very wise investment. The longer my Pocket Pro is supported and improved, the more likely I am to recommend Astak to others (and more likely I will buy from Astak when the time comes for me to upgrade).

Just my 2¢.


You can't compete against Amazon or Sony for name recognition, but you can sweep up a bunch of disgruntled former Amazon and Sony customers.
