I did try to contact the Book Store but the spinning idiot would not stop, and when it finally did it said the program was not responding (twice) and then that It could not be connected as I had no internect connection. (Iwas on the internet at that time, USB connected etc.). After three days of efforts I am ready to send this thing back, BUT I bought it for the books and after paying that much I WANT THEM.
Is there anyway I can work around the Sony software? Is there a listing of these FREE books I can just import to my SD and forget all about the Book Store. Please help as my free-book period will disapear before I get Sony to accept anything. Thank you. By he way, if I had any stock in Sony I would sell it quick or hire someone who reads and writes "people" english

Malerne,
I think you might slightly misunderstand the process. It's not specific "free books" that you get, but $50 "credit" to spend in the Connect bookstore on whatever you want.
Provided you've registered your Reader, you have the credit ready and waiting for you in your account on the Connect store. No need to worry about it "expiring".
To be honest, most of us here really aren't that bothered about the Connect Store; there is an almost limitless range of books that you can get absolutely free from web sites like
ManyBooks and
Project Gutenberg without having to go through the hassle of trying to use the occasionally-not-terribly-wonderful Connect Store.
