Thanks for the heads up! How often does this happen or is this a first/only?

Wallyworld, sorry but the sale at Target ended. As far as I know, this was the first of its kind. Don't have any idea when it might be repeated.

No complaints here....I bought 2 before it ended...being new to all this, I didn't know if this was a recurring event or rare. Glad I bought 2...wish I bought more, but next time I will realize what a chance it is.

Well I bought 10 - hopefully enough to at least get me through the summer so if they run it again in about 10 to 12 weeks I would be most appreciative.

I've found trying to ration my Sony gift card balance. "Is this book truly gift card worthy?"

I got 3 at first, then thought better of it and bought 2 more. When zombies are breaking down your door it's not the time to ration your ammo.

Very true, but you also don't want to waste ammo in a panic. Aim for the head and make those shots count.

That goes for the Reader Store cards, too. Just because you now have $125 worth of credit doesn't mean you should just fill your cart haphazardly. Just like when shooting at zombies, take care in choosing your books.

Enjoy.

oh, I do. I usually check reader reviews on amazon before adding to a cart. I have 7 or 8 in my wish list but only got 5 based on the reviews and what I felt like reading at the time. Since the credit never expires I feel no pressure - but since the cards were on sale for a limited time I felt pressure to get them. Especially since sony reader store prices are higher then amazon and B&N. "Always target the most dangerous zombie first."
