Looks good.

Nope

unless I happened to get correct two random email address LOL.

EDIT: DOH!!! Nevermind, I read that wrong...yeah you have to enter valid email when sending a new code

Step 10. I was working on the basis that you could work off the "copy to sender" email even if the destination email was invalid, but I haven't tried it so I don't know. It only takes about 60 seconds to set up a throwaway email on yahoo anyway, so maybe that's the safest way to go.

AFAIK the code works regardless of email address anyway, i.e. the next account doesn't have to use the email the code was sent to.

okay I've got the code for this one!!

PM me if you want it!

edit: now that I know how to do this stuff, I'll be joining in more LOL

This is not quite correct. Yes you must enter a 'new to Baen' email address to generate the code. The code generated is a single use code, once used it cannot be reused but it does not need to be used with an account registered to the email address given when creating the code.

Whether I get a code via PM or email I open my existing Baen account select the bundle and enter the code this adds the books to my Baen library for d/l. Having all my Baen books in one account makes for simple future disaster recovery if I should lose my local stored copies.

OK. I was under the impression that it had to be a newly registered account for the code to work. If not then it is much easier to manage, as you say.

Instructions have been updated appropriately. Give them a quick look again if you want to make sure I've got it right. Once it's error free it might be useful to put something like this at the head of each monthly thread, or a sticky?

Thanks.
