Sony eBookstore & Bundles
I got my first shiny eBook reader yesterday! Woo hoo! I am the proud mamma of a new red PRS-505, and, much to the dismay of my boss, I can't stop smiling at it (as well as actually reading)!
Anyway, I'm still poking around the Sony eBook store, and have a question: Are bundles short-term special prices, or are they pretty much available all the time? For example, I bought the Charlaine Harris Southern Vampires bundle (actually a huge motivator to by the 505 in the first place!), and just discovered a new writer, Kathy Reichs, who has a bundle on Sony. I'm trying to not go broke in the first month of owning the 505, so I've been convincing myself I don't need to buy the Reichs bundle, as it'll still be around in a few months. Is this true? Is the bundle a permanent offering, or just a short term deal that I should get while I have the chance? I figure most of you have had your Readers longer than 24 hours, so I thought I'd check in with the expertise of those who have used the Sony bookstore longer, too. Thanks (again!) for the help! |

I'd had Sony readers since 2007 (500, then 505, now the 600) and I've been buying books from the Sony bookstore from the very beginning. I don't remember every bundle they've ever had, but I do know they've had the same Dean Koontz bundle since they started offering his books. The price has gone up a little, as I'm sure the cost of the actual physical books in the brick-and-mortar bookstores have, but the bundle is still cheaper than buying the individual books.

I purchase a bundle that they no longer offer. I believe some are on there for quite awhile and some are sort term discounts.

It's a permanent offering. Sometimes the price might change if it's a special, but mostly that's a set price for the bundle. A bundle is one file for multiple books by an author or genre. They offer bundles usually for series, like the Dean Koontz Odd Thomas Collection.
