I don't really understand all this business with Connect books. Why would anyone want to buy them or even get them for free? Say in 2 years time another company makes a better reader, you but it...and what? You cannot read any books you bought via connect. Even if 2 years time sony stops to support the reader for any reason, and your reader breaks down...all the money you spent on the connect books are equal to zeo. IMHO, buying books on connect is similar to throwing money to a rubbish bin. If I buy a book on amazon today, I can read it in 1-2-5 years times. Connect store is rediculous idea.

Am I missing something or what?

I mean I would not want them for free, let alone waste my money on something I cannot re-read in 5 years, just because I want to and like I can do with a normal paperbacks.
