Dear Terisa de morgan:

Yes, I wish that we could do the "A Christmas Carol Gift Pack " internationally also. Freight is the problem. The cost of mailing sich a pack crammed with goodies would make it not popular. The other problem is we can control teh arrival time here in North America so that we know it will get there before December 25. We could not begin to have confidence that the timing would be kept on overseas shipments during the holidays.

Dear ALL:

By the way, here is the official press release today:

Jacob Marley’s spirit says “Astak Helps the HUNGRY While Making Gift-Giving EZ”
2009 is “The Year of The Ebook”. Astak is offering the 5-inch EZ Reader Pocket PRO special edition: “A Christmas Carol Gift Pack” on www.astak.com/charity! In addition, they are donating $15 from every Gift Pack sold to Second Harvest Food Bank to buy food at the most critical time of year for those less fortunate!
Astak received so many requests to make the Pocket PRO easy to gift. At the same time, we were planning to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank. We pulled everything together in the spirit of giving and came up with quite a great way to help others.


San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 24, 2009 -- Astak announced that this holiday season, the company is offering the 5-inch Pocket PRO special edition “A Christmas Carol” Gift Basket on www.astak.com/charity. Astak will donate $15 of the proceeds from each gift basket to the Second Harvest Food Bank. Consumers have the opportunity to give something to help those less fortunate while also giving a basket of joy that will help the receiving person “Keep Christmas in Their Hearts All Year Round”!


Astak 5-inch EZ Reader Pocket PRO Gift PackThe Pocket PRO is lighter (under 6 ounces), faster (Epson controller with 400MHz processor), more convenient (5 inch), and more full-featured (20 formats, user-replaceable rechargeable battery, Text-To-Speech, leather case, memory expansion to hold 8,000 eBooks and MP3 music) eBook Reader and packaged it in a keepsake basket with: Mighty Bright eBook Reader light, 2GB card pre-loaded with 230 Holiday Classics (everything from the immortal “A Christmas Carol, thru 150 Christmas stories for the entire family, to old time holiday recipes).

What a way to give something that will be treasured all year by the recipient!!

But, Astak has remembered the real message of A Christmas Carol. They are donating $15 from every Gift Pack sold to Second Harvest Food Bank to buy food at the most critical time of year for those less fortunate!! Jacob Marley’s spirit said: “Kindness, mercy, benevolence… THAT was my business” There has never been a more dire time for feeding those in need!! Astak welcomes other eBook Reader manufacturers to please join us!! Astak hope to contribute $4,500!!

Robert Barry, Astak’s Director of Business Development said: “Astak received so many requests to make the Pocket PRO easy to gift and include eBooks and a light and much more. At the same time, we were planning to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank. We talked with our partners (Books On Board and Mighty Bright) and they had some great ideas too. Then the local Starbucks Coffee wanted to help. Our staff pulled everything together in the spirit of giving and came up with quite a great way to help others.”

This special and festive gift pack will end December 11 (to allow time to ship). Everyone can do good for those less fortunate and “Keep Christmas in your Heart all Year Around” by visiting www.astak.com/charity and purchasing “A Christmas Carol Pack” for $239.

Thank you by your answer. Do you know the weight of the pack, more or less? Because I could use a service for international shipping and, in my case, December 25 isn't a problem. The day to give presents in Spain is January 6

not sure about the whole pack- just got the 5" pocket pro and it was 2lbs shipped by itself if that helps

[Terisa de morgan]

Thank you very much, it helps me a lot.

Dear Terisa de morgan:

The gift pack weighs between 5 and 6 pounds due to the extenive boxing that it uses. It just is not light. Yes, the Pocket PRO by itself in its box weights a fraction over 2 pounds.

[Terisa de morgan]

Thank you very much for the info. It gives me a very good point to make an educated guess about shipping expenses.

I hope we will be seeing a Black Friday discount for the Pocket PRO alone, maybe in form of a promotion code? Sony PRS-300 is going for 159-170 in various stores, could you afford to lower the price of Pocket PRO to 180 for the Black Friday weekend? I'm sure you could move quite a few units that way.
