Sony e-books credit expiry reminder

Patricia · 08-30-2007, 09:44 AM

Just to remind anyone who bought a Sony Reader a few months ago: the $50 credit in the Connect store expires on August 31st, so you may want to spend any remaining balance quickly.

Also, I believe that the Sony Classics offer may expire as well.

I was browsing the Connect Store last night. I have $12.xx left. Need to use that up soon.

I still have some classic books left in the deal but not sure I see the point of getting the classic books from connect as you can get them here or at gutenberg one.

I'm *still* trying to get my $50 credit. I ordered my Reader back in mid-July, and it didn't arrive until a week ago. I emailed CS and they said I could get the $50 credit (instead of 100 free Classics--unnecessary as I picked up the Silk Pagoda DVD) if I bought the Reader before the end of July. They said I needed to send in a scan/copy of my order receipt, which I did. Got a response 2 days later saying the pdf was corrupt, re-sent yesterday, and am still waiting.....

I'm considering blowing off the 100 free Classics. Unless I get an hour or two free, I think I'd be better off grabbing them from Gutenberg, etc, and formatting them myself.

Has anyone found some that were worth downloading?

Nope.

So I guess anyone that hasnt received it yet through the credit card offer are SOL on the $50 dollar credit and the Classics?

When did you order the Reader? If you have a confirmation email or reciept dated in July, then you still might talk Sony into giving you the $50.

Yeah, but good luck getting any timely response from them to issue the credit! I even put "**Urgent**" in my last email subject, to no avail. Less than 30 hours left and still no response or credit in the Connect Store.

[Update] A few helpful folks elsewhere have noted that Sony CS is pretty good, and they may yet issue credit after reviewing my request history. I hope so. I got no response during the 3-4 days after my last requests, even though they say they usually get back in a day. I really have been looking forward to picking up and reading a couple of Harry Turtledove's alternate history series (Worldwar, Colonization). If it's cash out of pocket, it may be a bit longer before I pick them up.

Hi maison09 and welcome to MobileRead. You ought to also introduce yourself in the Intro section here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=49

Welcome credit01

If you look up at the top of the page there is a link called 'E-Books' in the blue bar (just under the MobileRead logo). You don't list a device, but if you have a 505, choose the BBeB or epub versions. Once in the book section, you can search the books by title using the search button on the right side.
