I think BeBook changes the check out screens based on the shipping address. If anyone is able to use the discount coupon with a shipping address in the Americas, I'm sure we would all be interested to know!

here is the text from the Bebook site,

Quote:
Exception : Due to a temporary price drop for all territories paying in US$, coupons are only effective for territories paying in Euro's or AUS$.
http://mybebook.com/free_bebook.html

I take that as it is written. Pay in Euros and you earn credit, pay in US-dollars and no discount credit for that sale referral.

As I said Paypal allows one to carry balances in a number of currencies as well as accept payment in those same currencies. I often leave funds paid in euros as euros in case I want to by something from the EU. You also have the option of transferring funds into any currency at any time and then specifying the funding source and currency to use when making payment.

Maybe Bebook needs to clarify their page to no US buyers are eligible or even if in the US as long as payment was made in Euros then the discount works if the US referrer pays in euros when making their purchase and applying the discount.

Of course the real reason could be not the currency but rather the fact of the current US promotion agreement with resellers precludes Bebook from offering the program in the US. In which case the Bebook page should not even mention currency.

Probably just a language thing but it is unclear given the flexibility of currency conversion with Paypal.

I agree, they should change the wording. The way the website is currently set up, the checkout screens determine shipping country before the screen where the coupon can be entered. If you live in the Americas, the place to enter the coupon code is not offered before the final confirmation which would take you to PayPal. I just tested this with my account which would send to Canada.

Thanks Everyone!
Congrats Justy!

I know I used your code for purhasing my reader so hopefully in several months I will be in the same place as you

I'm not going to ask for a refund on my reader but ask for them to send a new one. My mum was really interested in my reader so I will give it to her. Although I'll have to spend DAYS showing her how to use it and where to buy books from

Best of luck to Moe The Cat, PKFFW, Carrie, and all the rest!

My brand new BeBook arrived today safe and sound and is charging on my desk as I type. I can't wait to start reading on it!

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on it once you've had a chance to play around with it.

Last I checked I'm sitting on 7 referrals and Peter specifically said "don't worry, you will be notified when you reach 10 referrals". I think he was getting sick of me checking how many I had!! haha

Wish they hadn't discontinued the discount for people paying in USD, that has really slowed things down. Only 2 referrals in the last 6 weeks!

I'm interested in how many referrals I have but haven't e-mailed Peter to ask

Maybe I should but I am quite far down the list on the discount coupons so I doubt I have many

How are you finding out the number of referrals to such detail? Do you just keep emailing Peter? I didn't get any updates unless I emailed him directly.

Yes, I have emailed Peter directly. Only three times though so I don't think he should be totally fed up with me yet! hahaha

According to a recent post in the BeBook Support Forum, the discount coupons are no longer available to Australia. This means they are now only available to those paying in Euros.

Which pretty much means I have buckleys chance of reaching the 10 referrals now. Unless the MR wiki list starts moving and I get to the top of it!

Such is life I guess.

Let's be optimistic about it. BeBook is really a great device, in my opinion better than Sony 505 with obvious better pricing. Especially when it reads ANY pdf downloaded. I've read the reviews and found out that it gains a lot on speed of page turning and battery life. This is great news and i cannot wait to get on that wiki list. Just don't know how yet. But i'll start promoting the BeBook in my own country. Good luck to all!

Hi devilyna, I added your coupon code to the wiki for you. I agree, this is a great eBook Reader, I've had a lot of fun getting to know mine.

Well I've just been informed I've reached 10 referrals and will be getting my free BeBook!

YAY FOR ME!!

The dude in charge of the promotion is on holidays for a couple of weeks though so I still have to a wait for a bit longer.

Not sure how to remove my email from the wiki page so if you would be so kind as to remove it for me Justy, it would be appreciated.
