100 free books - where's Shakespeare and Jane Austen?

[Kamiak]

I've downloaded the 100 free titles from Sony, but the 20 Shakespeare books and the 20 Jane Austen + romance novels don't seem to be amongst them. Can anyone help me find them?

Thanks in advance.

Kamiak, you are the first person I've heard of who has got the advertised 100 - most seem to "stick" at around 50/60.

Like to know, what you know, that we don't know !

I take it you mean you got 100 ( heavy on Dickens & O. Wilde, I'll be bound) but no Shakespeare or Austen - or have you actually only got 60?

I never got any Shakespeare, and a couple Austen. No Romance either, thankfully.

Only advice I can offer is look everywhere on your computer for them. My meagre cache popped up in 3 seperate lots.

I'd be surprised if there was any point in contacting Sony.

Hi Specialist - I didn't get at least half of these just before Christmas, but did get more Charles Dickins and what must have been all of Oscar Wilde ! Only about 50/60 in all........

Is there any way to reregister to try to get a full quota ? I definitely got nowhere near this selection - and I know they're on G/berg etc... but it would be nice not to save work.................. :smileygrin:
