PRS-505 is preloaded excerpt of with Paterson Legal Thriller?

jckatz · 04-23-2008, 11:41 AM

If you didn't get the e-mail Sony is giving away a custom skinned 505 (I don't care about the skin or the 6 free books, but I would love to have a 505). The qusetion they require you to answer is:

In stores, the Reader Digital Book (PRS-505) is displayed with a preloaded excerpt of which James Patterson legal thriller?

They are nice and say you can visit a store to find out but the nearest store to me is 400+ miles.

Can someone please help. Thank you.

I promptly deleted the excerpt from mine; however, in going to the link you supplied (from Sony), it shows The 6th Target.

Perhaps that's it.

NOTE: THE ABOVE GUESS IS THE WRONG ANSWER

The excerpts should also be on the CD that came with the Reader ... if anyone still knows where it is, that is.

I've made a careful search of Skinit's site on two occasions, and also come up empty. There was an effort to request skins for the Reader, though, so there may be some hope.

At the risk of sounding anal: the Sony device is the "Reader" (no "e").

The only reason I mention it is that "eReader" is an ebook format that is not compatible with the Sony Reader. My concern is that calling the device by the format may confuse some folks into thinking that they can use eReader books on the Sony Reader, and I'd rather help folks avoid the consequences of that particular mistake if we can help it.

Please don't give the answer. That would make it unfair to those of us who do know the answer.

I already sent a PM to Jckatz with the Answer. So there is no reason to post the answer here. According to the rules you do not need to know the answer. You can send an old fashion letter to Sony and still enter the contest.

Is the nearest Borders or SonyStyle 400+ miles away? Did you check for both?

JSWolf · 04-23-2008, 07:09 PM

Just because we have one PM of the answer, please people, no begging for the answer.

jckatz · 04-23-2008, 09:16 PM

I live in Springfield, IL and St Louis is closer but I go to Chicago 99 out of 100 times, so it is closer for that reason. And there are borders in Chicago (that I don't need a car for). But I am a Barnes and nobles and Amazon.com book shopper

Tom Swift · 04-23-2008, 09:55 PM

Okay, I am a Canadian living in China. I am eligible to try for this but there are no stores for at least 6000 km. Any help?

A PM would be great. (hint, hint)

mcfly · 04-23-2008, 10:07 PM

For Pete's sake, just go to B&N, look up "jp legal thriller".....answer is Judge & Jury

Tom Swift · 04-23-2008, 10:12 PM

From the Sony email:
"In stores, the Reader Digital Book (PRS-505) is displayed with a preloaded excerpt of which James Patterson legal thriller?" (Bold added)

So how is going to the B&N website going to help?

Knock knock. (Sorry, I just could not resist).

Wait a minute. Someone posts a request for the answer, and now you're saying that no one else can post or ask for the answer? Since when do you make the rules here?

If anyone has the right answer, please post it. There. I didn't "beg," but I asked politely. It's not like anyone is improperly publicizing a coupon code which shouldn't be posted.

dhbailey · 04-24-2008, 06:20 AM

You can find the answer by going to the SonyStyle web-site and looking at the details about the Patterson special edition Reader.

dhbailey · 04-24-2008, 06:22 AM

Forget that -- the contest site just told me that the answer which they have at their web-site is wrong.
