I'm going to get this one:
The American Evasion of Philosophy: A Genealogy of Pragmatism by Cornel West PDF $9.99 I haven't decided on what else to buy yet. Cornel West has a very engaging writing style. |

I'm looking at:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Unleashed It's $47.99, but with my first time buyers discount and the $20 voucher, it is pretty reasonable. The only thing holding me back is that I've not had a tech book in e-format before and I'm not sure how it will work as a reference that way. |

I bought three books, but couldn't download one because of geographical restrictions. I also downloaded some freebies from the site.
Downloads: The American Evasion of Philosophy by Cornel West The Cosmic Perspective and Other Black Comedies by Brian Stableford Freebies: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (short story) by F. Scott Fitzgerald Emma by Jane Austen Hard Times by Charles Dickens Peter Pan by JM Barrie The one I couldn't download because of geographical restrictions: Murder, She Wrote: Panning For Murder "by Jessica Fletcher" (sure it is!). |

Thanks
I just wanted to publicly say thanks to Gareth and directebooks, personally for my $20 prize and in general for supporting the contest and the site. Thanks for the quick replies to my emails and the great service!!
I've already made my purchase, downloaded the book, removed the DRM, imported it into Calibre, and loaded it onto my reader. Thanks again to Alex and everyone that helped in making the contest so fun. |

It has arrived !!!!
My Pocketbook 302 - black - instructions in German (runs off to Pocketbook forum for some words in English) - 2 pin plug (whoops!) - and the smallest of small storage cards I've ever seen !
Many thanks to you all, especially Pshrynk for dying so well; Rock Lobster for bringing him back to life and giving us all a hard time with the many herrings. Many thanks to MR for all it brings to our lives, especial thanks to Alex for making it all possible - and to the moderators for keeping us in line (mostly). But we all knew that anyway !!!! ....... |
