I have bought three books from the Waterstones e-book store which cost £26 in total, this is the same price (if found from goign into the store) which it would have cost for me to buy the actual books! I'm not complaining too much because one Sony Reader is lighter than three paperbacks (not to mention the other 102 on there already) but they really could do something with the price as it costs nothing to print the books, nothing to transport them, no distribution between stores and no warehouse costs, ye gods they don't even have to put them in carrier bags! - I am getting points on the card though, IMO one of the most rewarding rewards cards available.

I've also found thet their stock of hardware accessories is not very good either, was forced to but my AC adapter from the Sony Centre, which was more expensive but after a little persuasion they matched Waterstone's price, kudos Sony!
