Maybe these companies could give away something that's actually worth these amounts? I'd take a new reader from Books on Board and I'd still have a lot to spare! Of course they're not going to do that. That's my point - they're not doing what they're claiming.

there is nothing illegal or manipulative in selling PD titles. Sony formatted them in LRF for their eBook so they provided a value add. As with anything else that is sold it is up to the seller to determine the worth of value add and up to the buyer to determine if it is worth what it costs.
I am not sure what BoB means but it is likely that they mean that if they were the ones that converted them they would charge $5 but I do agree that is deceptive in that they are not the ones supplying the free books after you purchase it. You have to get them from the Sony site I believe, but if you can get them directly from BoB then they can set whatever value they wish.
