Usually, I try to offer a solution when I have a criticism, but in this case

I'm not sure how I would provide greater access to the thumbwheel while still keeping both the thumbwheel and the device protected from drops.

One thing that would be nicer on the EZ Reader would be page turn buttons also on the right side. I am right handed and I had a PRS-500 and now a PRS-505 and I find the page trn buttons on the right work much better when holding it one-handed in my right hand. The 500 had the page turn buttons on the left. I think having them on both sides would be good for everyone.

Dear All:

I regret very much that the Post Office did NOT know that Astak is a Team Research company. As such, they would not deliver Astak rebates to Team Research and returned them.

This problem has been taken care of.

Please send your rebate materials to:

Astak/Team Research
1911 Hartog Drive
San Jose, CA 95131

Let me know if you have any further problem and I apologize for the confusion and the hassle.

Will you be adding in the cost of posted and the envelope to the rebate for those who had to send it in a second time?

The person who had the issue seems satisfied with the outcome. Why do you insist on being so petty? You're only making yourself look like a jerk.

I see on the EZReader page that they are set up to take pre-orders for the Pocket Pro EZ Reader (for $229).

Not quite the $199 - $209 promised unless there will be a rebate for MR members.

MaggieScratch · 07-30-2009, 12:36 PM

I tried to preorder and couldn't get past the first screen anyway. Looks like it's not quite ready to go.

Yeah, you're right but at least there is progress. It does say they will be shipped by the end of August.

griffonwing · 07-30-2009, 12:42 PM

it's not working for me. I put '1' in slate blue and checked PayPal and it said I needed to put in how many items. It may be up, but it's not functioning.

HarryT · 07-30-2009, 01:06 PM

How do people from outside the USA or Canada order? Does Astak not want our business?

MaggieScratch · 07-30-2009, 01:20 PM

Nobody can order at the moment, so maybe it's a little early to be concerned. We might be messing with an unfinished website.

The same thing happened to me. It's clearly not a finished work, BUT there's progress, huzzah!

You have to buy at least one 6" model, and then you will be able to select slate blue. When you get to the next page, the total sum will not be the sum pf the prices on previous page, it will be slightly higher. Perhaps they forgot to update the price in database.

So we have to buy two?

griffonwing · 07-30-2009, 02:21 PM

No, it's not completed yet. It should be up sometime soon though

ekaser · 07-30-2009, 02:28 PM

Well, I hope so, anyway, since Paypal just sent $239 (includes shipping) to Astak for a 5" slate blue EZ Reader Pocket Pro!

(By the way, Robert, there's a typo on the 'step 2 confirmation' page, near the top: 'billing' is spelled 'billig'.
