100 free books for PRS-T1

ekk100 — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:20:51 GMT

I bought a T2 a couple of months ago and have been having problems with this ever since. I have registered my device but simply do not have a 'my offers' option which Sony are suggestingI could click on.

Actually rung customer support, who also looked at my account and couldn't see this option, the whole button is missing. Then I was told this offer is no longer avaliable, or not avaliable on my ereader model.

Now I am told that it is avaliable 'just click on the my offers option'. Grrrrrr

Yes I know I can get these books elsewhere, but it is the principle of the thing. They are still promoting this so if I can't access it (or it is apparantly not avaliable on the only model of ereader they now sell) then I'm going to report them for false advertising

Thanks, I would be interested to know the outcome.

It was about a month ago that I was told over the phone that the offer was no longer avaliable. I queried this recently (once I saw they were still advertising it) and I was emailed 3 days ago to say that it was still avaliable!

A straight answer out of them would be nice.

Hi, I have just had another e-mail from Sony to confirm that the 100 free books offer is no longer available. I have replied and asked them to ensure that they remove the advert immediately.

We shall see what happens!

Yes we know the links not working doubt it's to do with windows 8 either but I'm guessing you may have downloaded the 100 books some time ago Carpetmojo..:smileysilly:

Ok have finally got a reply from Sony..

The 100 free books offer that was linked to registering your PRS Reader has now ended..

However for those of you who are not aware you can still download free e-books from somewhere like Project Gutenberg..

Further information on free ebooks can be found within the Reader community site - Want free eBooks? You've come to the right place!

Hi Thalamus - no, wasn't for me really, just inquisitive !

Many yonks ago I gave up on the "offers" when I realised I could get the ones I really wanted from Gutenberg et al, as you say ...............

I could do without all those Oscar Wildes, frankly .... :smileyblush:

Yes searching for the books you want rather then someone else's selection is probably a good way to start off your library..

I always get my free books (epub format) from www.feedbooks.com

It's a well laid out website with a vast range of both public domain and new books.

Recommended!
