Pleasant surprise!

jhempel24 · 11-19-2010, 01:25 AM

I just got an e-mail from Borders saying that I received $10 in Borders Bucks!!

$10 in FREE Bonus Bucks -- Our Gift to You!

And a coupon attached that said "A Special Reward for Our Best Customers"

Very cool! Time to go Shopping at Borders.com!!

I just used the $10 I had earned, so this was a huge surprise....hope that there are others that got this email!

Generous of them

jhempel24 · 11-19-2010, 01:49 AM

Of course I log into my account, and it isn't there....so I don't know what's up with that. Perhaps I have to wait a bit before it shows up on my Borders Rewards card.

mbelec · 11-19-2010, 07:10 AM

I got it as well, but I think it says it will show up when you check out. I didn't go that far yet.

jhempel24 · 11-19-2010, 07:11 AM

It didn't for a while, but it's there now....but of course you can only use them on selected eBooks because of the stupid a$$ publishers.

abookreader · 11-19-2010, 10:27 AM

Yay! I got one too. Of course the first three books I wanted to buy I couldn't because they've made the wonderful business decision not to let Borders run promotions on their items

But no worries --- plenty of non-agency priced stuff out there and all those Agency books are still sitting all dusty and unread on their little locked down digital bookshelves.

jhempel24 · 11-19-2010, 10:29 AM

I wish I could get a refund on one book, it's a PDF, not an ePub, and it's formatted so terribly that it's hard to read....of course I'm sure they won't offer one.

But I did get the new Dean Koontz Novella tying into his new book coming out December.

very cool. and the beauty of having epub on your device is you can use it on your nook.

yeah people keep buying up those Kindles

abookreader · 11-19-2010, 11:45 AM

and did you have to strip them of anything?

abookreader · 11-19-2010, 12:04 PM

God Bless Calibre, It's plug-ins, and those who provide them to me.

boswd · 11-19-2010, 12:48 PM

while I do also have calibre, and I do share your "God Bless Calibre" statement, but we epubers don't have to take that extra stop, we buy download read neeener neener neeener

Beside I can't even imagine trying to explain Calibre to my father and how to use it.

abookreader · 11-19-2010, 02:46 PM

yes, all those steps....

clicking on Add books, selecting the file and then clicking on Send to Device and also having to choose the yes convert it was so exhausting ..... it's no wonder I need a nap this afternoon.

jhempel24 · 11-19-2010, 02:51 PM

LOL I don't quite understand all the scripts and setups to remove the DRM and convert automatically. I just do it manually with the python scripts. Even the ones that I bought, I strip the DRM, it's a nasty thing.
