I wonder what the free content is. Free for us, free for irex, or both? Most likely 150 Classic literature Books that makes one wonder if the $50 would be better spent on current books at Barnes & Noble. Self-help books? It could be something slightly better like a 30 day trial to PapersDirect (but be sure to cancel before 30 days or you'll get charged...). |
I'm guessing it's primarily free classics like they've done before. Maybe a trial paper subscription or one backlist type of book, but mainly freely available content. Although, the general buying public is not going to be aware of all the free titles available from the web so this may appear to be a good value to the average buyer.
