Yay, I am so glad that the code worked for you! Btw, let me know if you would recommend "The Best Book Of Useless Information Ever". I nearly picked that title last night. I need some funny materials after "...Splendid Suns."

Yes, I brought a generic brand from CompUSA for $15. It's from ReTrak and the cord can be extended or retracted. However, that feature is more of a gimmick as the retract mechanic doesn't work well at all, but charges just fine. The funny thing is that I keep wanting to charge my Reader even though the battery is full. I am so used to the mentality of always charging my portable devices that I forget the Reader can last for weeks with a single full charge. Btw, I brought "Walt Disney" and "...Useless Information..." from your list. Cheers!

I have a Costco membership and I didn't see the item when I was there last week. What's the price on Costco? Glad to know that the $50 code worked on a non-Borders member. $100 worth of ebooks is a great value! Happy reading!

It was $250 at costco, but for the 500 and not the 505. With $100 in credits, I'm not complaining.

Gotta add my two cents. I got my 505 at Borders without the discount card but..... with the 100 free classic book deal and now finding out about the $50 coupon (Thanks Mobile Read web folk) plus the great books constantly being posted on this site, I iconsider the 505 my best purchase of 07. Enjoy it.

I finally got my hands on a working model at my local Borders (haven't had the chance to try one out since the 500 came out!). Personally, I like the form factor, the e-ink screen, and the size. I was also surprised to see Borders out of stock of the 505, but I wasn't planning on parting with $300 this weekend anyway.
Still, now that I've actually seen one in action, I have a lot more interest in getting one down the road... even if it's just to see how well my books display on one. |
