So I figured out how you loose at the Microsoft Free books for the summer game. Here

You just figured this out?! People have been arguing about this for years. Welcome to the new age of DMCA.

The summer promotion secure .LIT ebooks were F-R-E-E. Only catch was that you had to grab them within 7 days, and take the yellow pill of MS' DRM5 copy protection plan.

If you downloaded them on your desktop, and activated your desktop with the same passport account (duh) as your PPC, then you should be able to activate your new PPC and move the files over. I have all of them. And I can read them anytime. Yee-ha.

Or ... pirate ahoy ... download Convert LIT (HREF is just to google.com, mod) while you can, and use it. See, you can lose if you follow Microsoft's plan, then wimp out and give up when you reach your activation limit. OR you can act in your own best interest, and keep reading those books. Choice is yours. Sorry to be gruff, but if you'd reviewed this summer's discusssions of the promotion, the Reader updates, and copy protection issues, you'd have had no bad surprise on the purchase of your new pda.
