Well, ok DaleDe; we can choose to disagree.
I will only add -- as someone in the industry, broadly defined (and not in any way a competitor to Astak) -- that Astak has no credible public business plan to survive the next phase of the eReader/eBook industry. Closing its ebook store will likely happen in very short order.
It is impossible to believe a low volume vendor like Astak can "skip" the end of 2010 sales and survive. They are clearly doing their best to find a soft-landing and cancelled any existing hardware orders in July when RobertB was let go. As a company with integrity, their goal now is simply to adequately service existing customers, and any stragglers, throughout the warranty period without adding any new customers and future liabilities.
