Hi All;
I recently joined this forum as I would like to get a reader. I am here to learn more about my options. Excellent site by the way.
I am considering getting a Sony 505 but because I am in Canada , I cannot buy books from the Sony Bookstore. I signed up for an account though and checked the box in the sign up that I was American.
I have found a dealer in the US that will ship to Canada. They also offer a rebate or credit for $199 worth of books. All I have to do is follow the instructions below:
How it works:
1) A Customer buys a Reader and follows these steps between 8/4/2007 and
1/31/2008.
2) The Customer creates an account with the Sony CONNECT™ eBook store (internet
connection required) using the supplied CONNECT™ Reader software.
3) The Customer connects the Reader to their PC through USB with supplied cable.
4) The Customer logs into their Connect™ eBooks account and chooses “Manage
Devices” where they will follow the directions to “Authorize” their Reader
5) Credit will automatically be put in their account. This credit must be used by
02/29/08. Please see Offer Disclaimer below.
The disclaimer though states I must be an American and have a valid American credit card.
My question is will I get to use this credit or will I end up having to give them a credit card number to activate the account and thus not be able to use this credit to download books from the Sony store.
Thanks for your help
