I am in the "oh gosh, oh buggery" camp, having just bought a PRS-505 and being unable to use connect from home (Macintosh user), relying on the work PC, but not on Sundays....

That said, I agree with Roy that this looks like a piece of viral marketing, the timing is right with holidays and a new competitor from Amazon and Sony have not been afraid to try new marketing approaches in the past with PSP and Playstation.

Congratulations to any Sony Reader users who caught the deal and to anyone who grabbed it without a reader, I hope it whets your appetite enough to buy a device.

Happy New Year,
Marcus
