It’s a discount offer, I don’t think it actually elides tax payment. According to the URL you cited:
“B&H will collect and remit state sales tax in accordance with state sales tax laws and regulations. So, customers do pay required sales tax and do not need to keep track or file anything separately.“
Yes you just get credit card cash-back in the amount of your state sales tax. Which is not bad, living in CA for instance it gives you 7.25% cash back. Compare that to Amazon where you get 5% back with their card, or any general purpose credit card where you won't really find better than 2% rewards for online shopping.
This looks interesting, but it's the software that will make or break the experience.
Software aside, this is expensive ($479 when you select the pen with the eraser and the book cover), and the screen is not back-lit, so this won't be usable without other source of light.
Why is it so hard to find an e-ink device that's good for reading books, PDFs, and web content (e.g. Pocket)? So far, everything I've tried has fallen short.
I got Mobiscribe from Amazon for around 250.
Smaller screen, but has warm backlit eink screen. Decent ereader for ePubs, very good responsive notetaking. It comes with a note-folio & pen for $250
I find it cheap. For $400 even if I could use it for reading and writing and assuming that those are the only functionality provided, I am fine with it. If I didn't had an ipad pro with apple pencil($800 + $100) I would have bought it, as those are the only thing I bought the ipad for, not for having some fancy apps.
These kinds of sites really could use a "Top 100" or "Most Popular" feature for when you just want to see what's on tap and don't necessarily have a specific book in mind.
Amazing resource, though. After recording a short story I wrote, I have even more respect for people who volunteer their time to librivox. I had to do a surprising amount of editing and re-takes just reading my tiny story. Could barely get through a paragraph without some sort of error, even if it was just a weirdly timed breath.
I think it was something like this: https://image.ibb.co/nsz4x0/puzzle.png The goal is to separate the string with the beads from the rubber piece. The rubber has 5 holes in it. The beads cannot go through the hole.
