this deal was only announced today ; it's breaking news. i'm sure Sony HQ will inform its stores about the offer quickly. isn't it amazing that mobileread is at the heart of the action to the point where we know the news even before sonystores do ?

I have enough books that I've formatted for the Sony Reader to make the trade worth while.
Now to read through that tiny and light gray (as in nearly illegible) type on their trade-in page... (Actually, I'll probably copy and paste into TextEdit.)
Thanks to Sony for this! (And to Bob for telling us about it.  ) |
and to the brilliant mobileread campaign which helped make it happen !
