Pregunté a la web de Astak, sobre el nuevo Astak Mentor de 9,7", y de momento parece que se retrasa hasta diciembre, o sea que hasta el año que viene nada, les pregunté sobre su distribución en España y parece que se distribuirá a partir de Alemania, la contestación fué la siguiente (p.d. si alguien amablemente quiere traducirla se lo agradeceriamos todos):
The 9.7 inch is due to be released in late December.
We have authorization to sell to North and South America and Australia. We are working with the Retail Stores is the USA first, then Canada, and then South America. THEY decide what they will carry and we do not pick them. We are talking actively with many retailers but (although they definitely want to carry the Mentor/LiteBook) they have a lot more regarding eBook sales that have to be worked out at their own pace. There is a European Distributor named Longshine in Germany. THEY will handle sales to retail stores in Europe.
In an effort to not make everybody wait we are in the process of readying our Security Camera website to be the first to release the Mentor WHEN we reach the release dates. We are sorry that there is no waiting list and you cannot buy early. Release dates cannot be preceeded for anyone. Please go to www.astakshop.com and when the release date comes up we will post it on that website and promptly fill your order.
Anywhere in the world can buy from this website. But... be aware... shipping can be pricey and we do not do our own shipping. The shipping charge is whatever it is set at by UPS or FedEx. We DO get a considerable discount. We don't know final shipping costs as we need the exact final model to determine the weight. Without weight we cannot begin to estimate the cost to ship. The above website WILL, when open for orders, clearly show the UPS shipping and handling charge BEFORE the sale is finalized. Please do not email and ask for the cost to ship.
There will be two primary models of each size: 5, 6 and 9.7 inch. The "Mentor" model will be formatted for eReader and .pdf. We are still negotiating with Adobe and others to add additional formats. Understand, please, that these large companies, such as Adobe, operate on their own timeline and not on ours.
WE DO appreciate your interest. We take our responsibility seriously to provide the best device at the best price. This takes a lot of time and a lot of corrections and a lot of patience. Trying to rush something this important is out of the question! The time to correct is NOW; and that is why we are taking the time to do things right before we ship.
