I am trying to find where to buy… Gear2Go GEET720k ereader.

They used to be available at BigW but they have stopped selling them.

Due to legal requirements it MUST be this model only, so whilst other suggestions would be nice, it has to be Gear2Go GEET720k.

Any help much appreciated.

  What kind of legal requirements means you need a specific EReader? Some kind of IT contract?

    They are sent to Refugees and our government restricts what can be sent, even down to the model etc :(

        Wish i was,

        They only have approval to be sent this model and with BigW no longer stocking them, im trying to find an alternative supplier.

        edit more info

        They are not allowed to have any device that has a camera, can record sound, or can access the internet. Most e-readers have at least one of those.

        However, in the past they have even rejected e-readers sent that meet that standard, and have said that the only e-readers approved are the ones above

        @offal spokesman:
        So our government is spending valuable tax payer money on expensive electronics for refugees when our schools are begging for laptops and tablets that work. Forget the ereaders, there are plenty of old books around they can read.

        No,
        (and im not trying to make this a discussion about our cruel treatment of innocent refugees in the hell holes that we lock them in )

        These items are donated by caring people and sent at our our cost to give these people some hope.

        @offal spokesman:
        Organized by a charity or church?

        I'm getting a bit off track sorry (just curious) but I am searching for the ereaders between posts.

  How many are you after? You may have thought of these, maybe call big w main number to see if there is stock left somewhere, maybe call the company directly to see if they can help? http://www.gear2go.biz/pages/Contact-Us.html
