I've bought hundreds of books from them - including about 150 of the free classics. In the past three years, we've owned 3 500s (got total of 150 free classics and $150 in credits at the store with them) and 4 505s. We currently have 388 credits for free classics that we'll never redeem.

I do like that they have a lot of new releases at what I feel are decent prices. I can get new Dean Koontz releases for about $12. That's a great discount, in my opinion. After all, they still have to pay for the editing, formatting, and they have to pay the author for his intellectual property.

Edited to add: I do love that I can buy prepaid cards for the Sony bookstore. That's a great way to budget. If I'm out of prepaid credits, I wait to buy the book. Unless, of course, it's a new Dean Koontz. Then it goes on the backup credit card, but that IS an emergency!
