I think I have been in Kmart more times in the past week than probably the past year or two! I will say, the store is very clean and the aisles are nice and wide. Much better than I remember it. Still - no Augen GenTouch78 here! Still none at the store up the road from my house. I think I have been in Kmart more times in the past week than probably the past year or two!

(Kind of neat, too: they now do it by tapping a button on their touchscreen cash registers, rather than the little carbon-copy postcards we filled out when I worked there ten years ago.)

They said they would honor the $149.99 price when they receive one, but they also checked and there are *NONE* within a ~50 mile radius of #STL / St. Louis, MO - so that means - none for today or the very near future unless Augen shipping sends a bunch to this area pronto! :) Quick update: Received a call from the store I went too this morning.

I did however have a nice back and forth e-mail with this guy - Daniel.Honigman@searshc.com - Daniel Honigman - and he said he passed over my request for a raincheck to his ops people. I also tweeted this earlier today - http://twitter.com/RexDixon/status/19750549465 - about Augen customer service or lack thereof. I also found the CEO for Augen on Facebook, and sent him a message. Still at the end of the day, my Kmart up the road has none - but the display cards for both the tablet and notebook sit in a case with TheBook eReader which they had 3 of the last time I was in there this morning.

They didn't outright say they weren't going to carry it, though. Perhaps it would be worth wandering by and asking them for a rain check. (There's one just a couple of blocks from where I work, so I might just do that on the way home.) An article I saw elsewhere suggested some locations might be getting it "later this week".

They should be able to issue one and that will lock in the price for when they do get it in. Did you ask for a raincheck?
