Two of those books are books on my list to buy this weekend with the Fictionwise sale, and I've been considering a few others... but this is obviously a better deal, if I used some other format!

All but one of the books is available in eReader (looking good)... but the eReader format is the only one they are charging for.

Looks like I'll be stocking up on MicroPay after all.

It does seem strange that they would give you money to download free books.
Then again I do remember getting about $13 rewards for a $9.95 ebook a few months back.
Anyone tried to claim the rewards dollars for the free downloads yet.
I have already downloaded them from the Sony store but noone can pass up free money

I've just downloaded the free eBook in MS Reader format and have emailed off for the rewards. If we actually get the rewards, then I'll be able to get a free eBook.

Got the rewards money too - though I did only 4 of the 8 reward eligible books so far since the rest do not interest me .

I've never done this before. Does it take long for the rewards to show up on your account? I downloaded the books, then took the receipts from my email account and forwarded them to the reward email address. I hope that was correct:>.

All I did was forward the email receipt I had received from BooksOnBoard and in about 3 hours, I receive another email saying I had my rewards.
