Did you use up your credit before 2/1/2007?

Nightwing · 02-02-2007, 12:42 AM

Just got under the wire... Basically left about 89 cents in the credit there.

Azayzel · 02-02-2007, 02:05 AM

Actually left about .12 myself (what, no books at this price!?) and had fun spending it too boot!

Alexander Turcic · 02-02-2007, 03:26 AM

I have like 50 cents left

Bob Russell · 02-02-2007, 06:35 AM

Yep. Spent it and some more also.

RWood · 02-02-2007, 07:38 AM

Gone, gone, gone. All of it and a bit more.

stxopher · 02-02-2007, 08:06 AM

Yep. Used the last of it (plus a couple of bucks) for Scar Night.

scotty1024 · 02-02-2007, 09:25 AM

Remember when Steve Jobs got up on stage and revealed there was one customer that had spent a lot of money on music? I think I'm in the running to be that guy for Sony ebooks.

Bob Russell · 02-02-2007, 09:35 AM

I'm curious about Part B: Have we read most of the e-books we bought?

I haven't yet read most of the books I bought!

I have one left. The rest of the Sony CONstore books are read.

I am working on my second book that I bought from them, yes!

NatCh · 02-02-2007, 11:49 AM

Finished my credit and then some, but I've still got ConnBooks on the Reader that I haven't gotten to yet -- some of the recent Baen releases have rudely pushed in front of them in line.

Forgot to register mine before the deadline, I have to confess

It was hard for me to turn down $50 in free books, but I'm not interested in owning them in proprietary format - even though they're free, the potential of having them "taken away" by obsolescence made me avoid them. There's also the fact that I don't want to be tied to any particular platform; if something comes along that's better than the Reader and/or Connect, I want to be able to switch without worrying about what I'll be losing.

Leaping Gnome · 02-02-2007, 03:18 PM

But bingle, since they are free you really haven't lost anything? You're saying you had the $50 for free books but didn't use it because they are DRMed and you might lose them later? Heck if you only got to use them for two weeks, it's still worth the price - free!

Well I am on a Mac so no way I could use my credit at their store.
