Just busted through the $50 Credit

jmdor · 11-14-2006, 08:43 PM

Well, I have already spent the $50 and more at the Connect store, which is good for Sony. I'm actually pretty pleased with the content that the store is getting -- I just picked up the new Colin Powell biography for less than Amazon.

Granted, we may never see all of the old titles available online -- at least for a while. I am happy that they seem to be keeping up with the new releases. The weekly email is also nice.

I only just noticed I was getting a weekly email. Turns out gmail had it marked as spam.

Me too! I find the store to be very easy to utilize. It also offers decent savings over Amazon. Plus, I love the convenience of getting the book immediately! (I live overseas and almost always have to wait a week for books I order. This is wonderfuly to feed my instant gratification!)

...now if they could include cheaper (sub-$10) in the weekly emails

I'm allergic to paying more then paperback prices for an e-book!

Ha, I've only had the reader for going on 3 days and I've blown my fifty buck credit too! and then some...

Thank goodness for this forum at least I can download some free books!

I've blown the 50 bucks and spent an additional 30-40 on top of that. While the store software sucks, I've found the formatting of the content to be pretty good.

THREE DAYS to blow through $50?

I'd love to know how you guys did that? Maybe I'm just a slow reader...

They didn't say they'd read all the books in three days, just that they'd bought them.

Hahahaha... Looks like these guys might have the same disease I do.
Thats why I dont have(want) a credit card...!!

When I was a student I used to troll bookstores and buy whatever caught my eye. It was then I could read what I could afford. Then I discovered used bookstores (my hometown -Pasadena- was famous for them) and I would buy from desire to read rather than readability. Books I had not read started piling up (became quite a collection).
Now I dont buy but what I cannot read -- and download for free. That is why I love my reader.
My manuals and I!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(obviously I dont have friends either cause thats way too much information

)
