Thank you for posting this. I just made my first purchase at the Sony store. Up to now, I've only used the Sony software to download the freebies.

lilac_jive · 10-04-2009, 09:02 PM

Woohoo! I broke you in

That's a pretty hard deal to pass up.

Thanks, I picked this up!

Out of curiosity, do the books come in one file for all three or in individual files?

lilac_jive · 10-05-2009, 04:07 PM

With bundles they all come as one file. You can select which one you want to read from the Table of Contents though, in case you want to read a particular one first.

Darn, I was hoping they came individually. I already own several books by Joanne Fluke and would love to start a collection of Leslie Meier's books and have the third author in another collection.

For that price you should still buy it though

This bundle showed up as three separate books in the Sony software. I haven't transferred any of them to the Sony reader, but I did open them in the built-in reader. By the way Candy Cane Murders has 3 stories in it, each about 10 chapters.

Oh that's interesting. I did notice that it was bundled by Sony, maybe that's why?

Is there a way to get that link to open directly in the ebook library instead of my web browser?

All of the bundles that I have bought from the Sony store have come as individual books/files. The only excecption is the Janet Evanovich bundle, which I think was the actual book (of the first three Stephanie Plum books) rather than a bundle.

Either way, this sounds like a great deal! Thanks for sharing!

(Now I just have to remember to add it to my cart when I get to an authorized computer. What a pain that I can't log onto Sony from here. I don't want to authorize and unauthorize a computer that gets replaced every three years, but I'd like to be able to mark books to buy later.)

That's interesting. I've only bought a few bundles, and they were all offered by Harlequin, and they came as the entire book. I think you're right about teh Evanovich one, there's a harcover out there that matches that.

Stinks about the authorizing

I have the same problem, but I try to look at it as that it prevents me from impulse buys

Hmmm.....my libraries have a few of the ebooks in these two series and I've been wanting to try these two series...So I think I will go for it. even if I don't like any of them, thats only about $1.89 per book. Can't beat that. Thanks for sharing!!

And I'm in the shopping mood, so I think I might do some more shopping while I'm there!
