Back to the question at hand, I've downloaded about 70 of my allotted 100. I did it by browsing what they had available, and also searching for authors that I like. For example, I've got most of the Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and D. H. Lawrence, Mark Twain, Dostoevsky, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Edith Wharton and Oscar Wilde books available. I've also grabbed favorites I have in paper form, like most of the Shakespeare plays and Alice in Wonderland. Everything else is just books that sound interesting, like Dante's Diving Comedy and Gogol's Dead Souls.
I'm earnestly trying to get all 100 books before my coupon expires at the end of January. I'd love to see what other people have gotten.
Also, I realize that these books are available for free in various formats all over the net. I also realize that it's ridiculously easy to download and install a book bought from Sony, without having to worry about formatting. If I decide some day down the road to buy a different device and can no longer read the Sony books, I can just redownload these books from here or manybooks.net.
