Windows Phone Thoughts: 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.
