It would have been a lot more reassuring to potential investors had they simply selected a funding method that would have automatically refunded the money had the goal not been reached.

The comment thread to this on the Tweedles' blog is highly entertaining. Each and every time someone says they like the general idea but not the actual specs of the project, Kozlowski begs them to give them money anyway:

But if they don't promise to fulfill refunds their reputations and site will go down the pan...hopefully they will gain some publicity on some major tech sites and even if they don't manage to pull through with this project maybe others will take notice.
We're all desperate for a decent 8"+ ereader....someone make it happen! Last edited by Jason90; 10-26-2015 at 06:26 PM. |

Their reputation has long since gone down the pan, I'm afraid...

My perfect ereader is the $29 Kindle 7 I bought last Christmas. If it's Kindle and cheap, it's perfect.

So how much of their own capital have they invested in this project? Or are they just using everybody else's money for this little project? I would be much more confident if they had said "we've already invested $20,000 of our own money to get things rolling.

I just saw their PRWeb press release. "Good e-Reader has just formally launched the first ever crowd sourced campaign for an e-reader"? Wasn't Earl a crowdfunding campaign? Also Blitab?

They probably haven't realised that you can write more or less whatever you like on a blog, but when you're making marketing claims there are actual laws that apply to their truthfulness.

Not much of an announcement.

In fairness to them, there are certainly thousands of apps that can be run on an eInk Android device.
