That's kind of illogical. Rather than use $20 of credit, you rather spend the money twice in order to buy a book in a different format, only to have to go to the trouble of cracking the DRM and then formating it for Sony. All to make a point to a company that is is well known to be completely deaf to its customers? Well ooookay. It's your money.

I understand your point, and would not in a million years invest a lot of money buying DRM'ed and format-locked books. Just as I would not purchase DRM'ed MP3's. However, since I have already spent this money, I might as well use it.

Alexander: Thanks for the link, although that was a strange one. It sounded more like a rant against Connect than a suggestion list. He had a problme with half of his purchases. And his favorite book was one by Andrew Weil. ICK!! That guy is an idiot. The link was worth it however, for the bit of insider info by Rob Preece (in the comments).

The other suggestion are good. I'll look into them for sure.

In the meantime I am toying with buying Stumbling on Happiness by
Daniel Gilbert which despite the title, is NOT a self-help book.

Also considering The Accidental Tourist. It's well reviewed at Amazon and sounds good. I like good character developement.
