With the value of the US$ falling through the floor, the cost of the Reader has fallen pretty dramatically for people outside the US in the last year. Not so long about you got US$1.60 for £1; now it's US$2.10 and still falling.

That is not the only benifit. I gather you all know about the micro pay. Where you bank a bit of money and at odd times when you just need a fix or you see a book or story for under a dollar you just use the micro pay.

Now about two or three weeks ago they had a very good bargain, you become a member for 5 years, I had one for 4 so I just added an additional year. If you bought anything up to $300 on your credit card, they would credit it to your micro pay. I am now sitting with another bundle of books I wanted to read, plus $300 extra in my micro pay.

It was a great deal for people like me who read a lot, I go through about 3 to 5 books a week.

Yes indeed - they often have "micropay rebates" on selected books too - buy the book with "real money" and you get 50% or even 100% of its cost credited to your micropay account. An excellent deal!
