Trouble downloading

Also, Robert, when I view my account, for the list of purchased items, it also shows the sql statement. That doesn't bother me much, but may confuse others.
Dear Animedude:

That new Agency Model went into effect. This is where 5 of the PUBLISHERS (not Astak) got together and are forcing that all eBook Stores sell at one uniform price... no discounting. That is causing a real mess for the end users and for Astak. We are trying to get this ironed out. It is likely that this is why you cannot download as the publishers will not permit the download until ALL eBooks under their Agency Model are priced the same everywhere. Yet, we do not yet have what those set prices are and for which titles.

This will not affect most titles... but certainly many, many are impacted.
