However, that shipping charge is included in the total funds collected towards the target. Thus, to place an order for 60 units at $700 a piece, you would need to collect more than $42000. Had they simply reached 100% of their target, they would not have had sufficient funds to place the order as the shipping fees which backers had already paid would have been included in that $42000. What would have happened then? Of course, the campaign is now well over its target so that is no longer a concern. However, if the campaign organizers overlooked something so basic when they were establishing their campaign goal, it would make me wonder what else they might have overlooked. Think I will wait until backers receive their ereaders and until there are some independent reviews of the device until I consider placing an order. Actually, I'm rather hoping that Kobo or somebody else might take notice and put out a device with superior specs. Last edited by Question Mark; 04-01-2016 at 07:51 PM. |

Quigle had overly ambitious goals, but not the engineers to make them happen. |

Also, the Earl people seemed to be more managing the project then doing the actual engineering, they were using the manufacturer for the actual engineering. |

You know, the lack of sympathy is just terrible
Ear worm still going, turns out it's true and nothing can stop the Duke of Earl. |
