CostCo's Excellent Price On E-Book Set
If you're a fan of the famous "Left Behind" book series and like e-books, have I come across a deal for you! When I was in my local CostCo store, I saw they were selling a CD called the "Left Behind Iumina Edition" for $14.59. The box says the CD contains companion software for the book series and has a small notice that, as a bonus, the CD also "Includes Palm Pilot and Microsoft Reader versions of the first 10 books."
So, for less than $1.50 per book, you can read the books on your PC in Reader format (It doesn't work with Pocket Reader) or in PDB format on your Pocket PC. All you have to do is install the Ilumina CD to your desktop PC, and the Reader and PDB books get copied to the hard drive. To read them on your Pocket PC, just copy the PDB books from your PC to your device and install the free Palm Reader application for the Pocket PC from the Peanut Press site.
Normally, these 10 books cost more than $10 each from the Peanut Press site, so this is quite a deal. And, if you've never read a book using Palm Reader, I know you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it stacks up against Microsoft's Pocket Reader.

Cheers!

Is this supposed to be a good thing?

Well, you can draw your own conclusions about whether you like the series or not, but $1.50 per book sounds like a good thing to me.

I think Amazon.com allows users to submit book reviews if you'd really like to let everyone know your opinion  . You've apparently read the books, so I'm quite curious to read your contribution myself  .

Just so he's not alone, I agree.  I bet you're all shocked I don't like an ebook deal eh? :roll: I like Ebooks, but unless someone gets me them for next to nothing... nah. We need Ebooks at the library.

I don't understand some people either...
Why is it that ebook-related posts generate these types of comments...? :roll:
Last ebooks post got out of control and even pushed Jason to rethink if maintaining this site for this was even worth it.
Glad he took a break and even "remodeled" the site
BTW, great work with the site Jason...
And yes, $1.50 per ebook seems like a good deal... if you're not interested then don't buy it.

Yeah I would buy a lot more ebooks if they were $1.50 each and didn't have DRM!
