CBD (Christian Book Distributors) to add ebooks later this year!
(Preface to forum mods: As I wasn't sure where to put this, if this is not the right place for this thread, please feel free to move it to the appropriate forum. Thanks!)
As a frequent customer of CBD (Christian Book Distributors), I received a free ebook download yesterday. I wrote them back to thank them and encourage them to make more ebooks available for purchase. These were my comments: Quote:

Yes, THANKS for posting this!!
I'm new to the forum... a self-admitted techno geek... but until recently hadn't contemplated having such easy access to the Christian books that I enjoy so much. I was trying to decide which book reader to go with (I only have an iPhone) when I found this site: http://www.puritandownloads.com Seems like they have loads of ebooks for downloading at reasonable prices. Has anyone else looked into getting the puritan hard drive that they're offering? It looks like a really amazing collection (ok, a DREAM collection for me!)... Does anyone know any more about it or has anyone gotten to take one for a test drive? - Dan B. |

I've had some time to check out Christian Book Distributor's (CBD) ebook section and the CBD Reader for a few days now. I have to say that I'm thrilled & impressed! I went through my wishlist on the Sony Reader Store site and compared prices with over 20 different titles and most all were selling below the Sony Store price or were the same price. I only found a few that sold for more (will explain further).
I'll just list some examples: Jesus Lives by Sarah Young- Sony price $13.49, CBD price $ 9.69 How Can a Good God Let Bad Things Happen? by Mark Tabb- Sony price $8.99, CBD price $7.99 Bringing Up Girls by Dr. James Dobson- Sony price $18.19, CBD price $14.29 Bible Answers For Almost All of Your Questions by Elmer Towns- Sony price $11.89, CBD price $9.99 If My People... by Jack Countryman- Sony price $2.84, CBD price $2.39 All of the titles in the Lynn Austin "Gods and Kings" novels- Sony price $12.59, CBD price $9.29 or 9.69 The Message New Testament with Psalms- Sony price $7.59, CBD price $6.39 The Message Concordance- Sony price$ 13.49, CBD price $9.69 The Message For Each Day- Sony price $13.49, CBD price $ 9.69 Amplified Bible- $9.99 same price both sites Exercising Your Soul by Gary Jansen- $9.99 same price both sites The Story by Dennis Okholm- $11.99 same price both sites Praying the Scriptures For Your Children by Jodie Berndt- $9.99 same price both sites Where I found discrepencies was when looking at Beth Moore titles. If they were published by B & H Publishers, the price was higher on CBD, but if they were published by Thomas Nelson Publishing, the price was lower on CBD. Other thoughts: I was very pleased to find several titles by Stormie Omartian (that I had been wanting!) on the CBD site, that were not on Sony's site, although not all of the books on my Sony Store wishlist were available at CBD as ebooks. They do offer free ebooks for download! And I was most impressed by the large samples you can read before purchasing an ebook, something I always found lacking on Sony's site! *Oh! And they now take PayPal, which I was also thrilled about! I received this email from them yesterday and thought I would pass it along. They are looking for feedback, so I would encourage you to check out their ebook selection and their CBD Reader and give them your feedback! Quote:
