Not only that, but the Sony Reader Pocket Mills & Boon edition comes with three eBooks from the company (Snowbound: Miracle Marriage, Under The Boss’s Mistletoe and Christmas Betrothals, if you’re asking) and a voucher to download ten more, which should keep any addicts content for a good long while.
