Test a Sony Reader and keep it for free (if you're in Germany)
Thalia and Sony Germany are looking for 20 persons who are willing to tinker with the Sony Reader PRS-505 prior to its Germany launch on March 11th. To participate you may apply no later than March 4th.

As part of the testing program, if you're picked, you'll get a free Sony Reader to play with in exchange for your promise to write a test by filling out a questionnaire -- which probably isn't much of a burden for those e-book enthusiasts who spend all day living, breathing, and blogging e-books anyway.

Link to the application: here

I'm in Germany and in the hometown of buch.de (pretty much the same as thalia.de) Münster . Just made my application.

I'm pretty curious if I will get one ...

Great, I'm just filling out the application form. @Nergal: Maybe we meet at the Arkaden once we pick up our devices?

When I first saw the thread's title, I assumed the "keep it for free" was going to involve some pretty fast running...
