work tonight
I tried the code last night and it didn't work, but i tried again today and got $50 credit, i think there must be a limited amount each day so if you havent got it yet try again, as for the moral issue it is a promotional thing and sony are happy to give it to any one who claims it, it is just a stunt to add new users to the site it doesn't cost sony $50 as they earn a healthy profit on each ebook, and they hope once people use up there credit they will buy more!

All. I bought my reader from Borders 8 weeks back and was told there was a coupon for free books when I registered but it never showed up. I noted the comment regarding "theft". Not if you bought it from Borders! The SONY registration site requires the purchaser to note where it was purchased. It isn't rocket science to note the date of the registration and the location where it was purchased to ascertain qualification for the coupon.

Hi Everyone,
I'm from London, England, i registered my reader in june 07 and the code worked for me first time

Thankyou Mobileread

Spent in 10 Mins had 4 books there i had on my list.

I wouldn't say it's theft but i feel some mistake has been made by sony & because alot of people are on holiday they havn't noticed yet that it's been posted. I can't see them giveing away that many books. That's alot of money to lose.

Just bought my first 505 yesterday from Borders to take advantage of the $50 free offer. To my disappointment, I setup my new reader and entered the code and was told that the promotion was over its quantity of usable allowances. I have emailed SONY to force the issue. I pulled in some of the free classics to pacify my angst. Looking forward to the new foray in ereading, but rather banged-up about the promotion issue.

This will probably go to waste just like the 100 free classic ebooks (which I lost in a reformat and cant redownload, so double waste right there.)

Sigh.
If you can't find *any* books to buy on the entire Sony Connect site, then why do you even have a Reader? Seriously, there is a huge variety of new and classic books there in all sorts of categories.

It stopped working last night around 9PM EST according to Fatwallet posts. It may come back up in the future. Who knows

Im not sure if were looking at the same store or not. Im not really into most of whats on the "Best Seller" list - stuff that will be in the dollar bins around the world within the next few months - and their graphic novel and technical books sections are laughably empty and/or out of date. Yeah I know it would be free, but its still not all that interesting.

FYI Im about 1/3 of the way through the Sherlock Holmes Omnibus from this site. I like victorian literature, most of which can be obtained freely. Probably why none of the Sony store stuff appeals to me.
