Good e-Reader Store Advisory
Just an advisory: don't be a great big dummy like me and order from the Good e-Reader Store.

I wanted a PocketBook Era Lite eReader. The only online shops I could find them at are Amazon and Good e-Reader Store. I deleted my Amazon account years ago, so I thought that I'd try the Good e-Reader Store. I purchased the device in very early September. Now nearly seven weeks later, I haven't heard nor received a thing.

I consider the money both lost and a lesson learned. I wanted a 7"+ monochrome eReader that isn't Android-based, but I appear to be out of luck.

Anyhoo, just wanted to advise anyone in case anyone else was looking at the shop.

Did you buy with a credit card? If you did, contact the credit card company. The phone number should be on the back of the card. Let them know and dispute the charge. They should refund you the money, and they will debit the Good e-Reader Store account.

Unfortunately this is another story in a long line about poor business practices by that site. They have a poor reputation with most people who have kept up with the epaper industry. I don't know how they've managed to keep their industry connections for so long given their sales practices, reporting practices, and generally overall shady behavior.

Definitely contact your bank ASAP if you paid by credit/debit card. Use their review page on Trustpilot as evidence of their shady practices, on top of your own correspondence.

Considering how much traffic they command as an e-reader news site...it seems like a pretty shortsighted decision to tank their reputation like that in order to get a few quick bucks by inventory scamming.
