is there any code for this one? the application form is just
a generic one, I hope that they will honor this offer.

did anybody apply for sony card?

I do want to get a SONY reader, iRex iLiad is too expensive for me.

Looks nice, which formats it can handle? I hope it is not SONY specified.

Yoyojade said:it supports RTF, txt, pdf, bbeb(sony format)

but pdf doesn't look good on sony reader. it looks too light to be readable.

I hope that sony can solve this problem with Adobe, with the new Adobe Digital experience.

I hope so too, it would be way too cool to read papers with this.

wow, interesting. this is a great deal if it works. i've been interested in this sony reader for quite a while but never bothered because of the price. i can't really pass this up!

i applied for the card and got a web page & email stating that i'll be notified of my approval status in 30 days. is everyone getting this, or are people getting approved instantly? i have a pretty solid credit score (700, give or take 10 points depending on the credit agency). seems lame that they'll make you wait 30 days to find out if you're approved, which would make it too late to register your ebook reader on that site to get the $150 worth of free eBooks.

how do you get this after getting approved for the card? the application seemed to be pretty generic.

thanks OP

If you have questions about how to make your own content for the reader, what formats look good, how to reformat PDFs, etc., check out the Mobile Read forums here. They have lots of good advice, links to good programs, etc.

Look for threads about the program called Book Designer. We have a reader already and purchase content from Fictionwise.com, as well as some downloads from project gutenberg, and Book Designer is a great tool for converting items from these sources.

If you're looking for a lower priced alternative...

I've been following these ereaders for a while, but decided to go with the recent Buy.com Nokia 770 deal for a low priced ebook reader. Paired with FBReader, it's working out great, plus it has the added bonus of web browsing, media, chat and voice chat.

I'm sure an e-ink or OLED ebook reader will be in my future, but I'm waiting another generation or two for prices to come down.

By the way, I just saw this on SD:

Sony PRS-500 E-Book Reader $99

Yes, it's the same thing.

i have the sony card. it is being offered for basically $299 in points on the sonyrewards site. how is it 50 bucks?

nice deal OP, not sure if i'll jump tho. for those that do, here's a place for lots of free ebooks.

here's another great free site.

Thanks OneDollarBid. At least I applied for the card and saved a screen shot Gonna check it out in person first. probably have a few weeks before I have to decide
