I am thinking very hard how to spend $50 bonus I got with the reader. I will most probably buy some books just to get some money to some of my favourite authors. I dislike the way books in Connect store are formatted. Too wide margin, serrif font.
Those 99.50 bucks in Connect credit for "Classics" are ... and I will be VERY diplomatic here ... a Public Relation stunt. You can download all those books for free, LEGALY elsewhere. Then you can format them to your taste or read them on any device, or upload them here like quite a few people did.

those prices are INSANE for me
I would be very intertested to know how much money an author gets for a paperback, hardback and electronic version.
With electronic version, most of the money should end up in authors hands. There is no cost for paper, printing, warehousing, bookstore staff, printed but unsold books.
Yet I doubt very much that author gets significant cut of the price of Connect books that are in the 20 dollar range.
