I just checked my order and I should be receiving my rocket e-book pro tomorrow. However, I was unable to download the free King novel from bn.com. This is what they sent me by email: Thank you for your order! Before you can purchase and download a RocketEdition, you must have previously registered your Rocket eBook device with NuvoMedia with the same First Name, Last Name, and E-mail address. If you have any questions, please contact us at service@bn.com. So it looks like only registered owners of the rocket e-book could download the free edition (or any edition at all). I can understand that for security reasons they would not want to allow download of paid editions, but this was supposed to be a free one-time deal to generate interest. Someone should have been able to download it to the free e-rocket reader, at least. This is not the way to solve the chicken-egg problem, especially since there was a free reader available elsewhere and a free download. Hope Henry takes note of this.
