Promoting These for Academics

I am a graduate student and teacher and have thousands of PDFs to read each semester for my classes and research. I looked into every eReader on the market for months before buying a Sony PRS900 (I would have gone with the 950, but couldn't fund the cost). It really is the best option for academics for reading and annotating PDF files. The infamous iPad is better in some regards, but completely unaffordable for a student budget.
I will be promoting the Sony readers to my students this spring. They are all hopped up on the Nook and the Kindle, both of which are great in price and access but bad for PDF annotating. Also, I am scheduled to give a report to our English Department faculty on the pros and cons of eReaders on the market. I have a few questions that will help me sell the Sony eReader.
1. What are the primary differences between the PRS 900 and the PRS 950 in terms of their advantages for a student/researcher viewing PDFs?
2. Is the Daily Edition significantly better than the PRS 600/650 Touch Edition in terms of PDF viewing?
3. Are there any plans to enhance the zoom feature on future models to decrease distortion of the PDF text?
Again, Sony's eReaders are the BEST for an academic on a realistic budget. It's saved me thousands of paper copies already. More of this target audience needs to know about your product. I'm planning to brag about you to all my 148 students and our entire English faculty. There are a few kinks (re-sizing issues being the biggest limitation). But Sony is the best option on the market by far!

1. The main functional Difference between the 900 and 950 is the Wi-Fi Browsing feature for the 950.
2. differences for viewing between the Daily Edition, and Touch:
The Reader Daily Edition™ features a full 7”clear touch screen.
The Reader Touch Edition™ features a 6”display.
3. to increase visibility switch from vertical to horizontal viewing to see the PDF file larger. instructions for both viewers are the same.
You can switch the screen orientation from any of the Option menus.

  • Trade promotion management for rebates processing

    Hi All,
    I am looking for configuration or step by step procedure on trade promotion management for rebates processing. Any document that gives the condition types to be used, set up of trade promotion, determination of the trade promotion related conditions in sales order, accruals of such rebates will be helpful
    Regards,
    Praveen

    sorry, I can't login a CRM server now, but I try to answer your question by my memory
    u2022 What condition types are required for rebates
    the condition type for rebate is special,  different the normal pricing condition,  the rebate condition has a different condition usage.  you can define the rebate condition record in rebate related SPRO path
    u2022 How are they linked to TP and how the conditions flow to ECC
    the condition generation configure in TP link the condition with TP type, you can check the configuration in SPRO
    u2022 How are these conditions determined in sales order
    the rebate also need to configure to the sale order, this configuration is under SD rebate path, and you can upload the configuration by middleware synchronize object from CRM
    u2022 Are there any agreements that need to be created
    the aggrement will be created automatically if the rebate condition can be generated in CRM TP.   pay attention that the spend type table in TP WEB UI page has a button named 'rebate generate'
    u2022 How does accruals happen
    the accrals is depend on the funds plan,  if fund plan created and configure for accrualls, you can launch a job background for accrual base on a fund plan from WEB UI
    u2022 How is it linked to funds, what set up of funds is required
    the funds is link to fund plan,   fund plan link to TP.   There is no directly link between funds with rebate, but they have indirect relationship through spend category, method,...    E.G.   you configure a rebate belong to a spend category,  and you can configure the spend category in fund determination with TP.
    The funds will be determined when TP created
    u2022 How validation happens from claims
    validaion happens in claim processing,  in claim,  the spend value will be fetch from fund usage, and bring to the validation screen, you can edit the validation data, and  claim will generate the billing due list according to the validation you input.

  • My company loaded profiles onto my iPad for email and calendars.. There is also a signing certificate and a certificate. What are these for? Additionally are they able to monitor apps and usage, ie Internet usage when it is not on their wifi?

    My company loaded profiles onto my iPad for email and calendars.. There is also a signing certificate and a certificate. What are these for?
    Additionally are they able to monitor apps and usage, ie Internet usage when it is not on their wifi?
    I do not have any VPN enabled?

    Do you happen to have an Android?  If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in.  See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage  from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.

  • Promotional sales for sooner expiry date products

    Dear SAP gurus,
    I have following situation:
    My customer sells batch manged products and batches are based on expiry date. Batch is detemined at delivery creation with FEFO rule (first expiry first out).
    Now they have some older date batches that they want to give at a lower price. Since batch is not determined at sales order creation my solution would be to create new "promotional" code for that material, then with mvt type 309 transfer old batch quantity to new material, set new sales price for new material and sell it until this stock is sold out. Then this promotinal code could be used in future also for similar situations for that material.
    Is this the best solution? Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Suad.

    Dear Saud,
    The better option would be to give a discount on specfic batches (condition type KA00).Since batches are not determined at order level ,the condition KA00 would be redetermine at the time billing.
    Also check the pricing setting of copy control from delivery to bill.
    Regards
    Sanjay

  • Never received Nvidia Shield promotion code for the 16GB Shield TV

    I Purchased the 16GB model of the Nvidia Shield TV on 6-6-2015 and according to the store page the $30 promotion code for the play store credit should arrive within a few hours yet I still havent recieved anything in my emails over a week later. Was curious as to when that is really supposed to arrive.

    Hi there littlefuzzy, 
    Receiving a $30 Google Play credit would certainly be enticing while looking at the Nvidia Shield! I'm sorry to hear that you may not have received your code yet even though you ordered almost two weeks ago. Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to locate your order and request a code be sent to you via the same email address on the order. With that said, please know that I am also sending this code to you via private message. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum, then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.

  • Promotion upsell for sku

    ATG OOTB had promotion upsell for products. But any suggestions how to do it with sku's.
    eg. A coffee mug product has 3 skus (small, medium, large). I need to create a promotion in such a way that, if that promotion is applied
    i will get the medium sku for the price of small. User adds the small mug to cart, applies a coupon, and then when the promotion is applied
    i should see medium mug with the price of small.
    Any suggestion or ideas?

    I guess i need to start with creating new promotion templates (Oracle ATG Web Commerce - Adding New Promotions Templates).
    The nearest template i could find is In DCS\config\atg\registry\data\promotiontemplates\item\buyItemXGetItemY.pmdt.
    Trying to create buyItemXUpgradeToItemY.pdmt from buyItemXGetItemY.pdmt.
    Will keep you guys posted as i progress, so that it would be helpful for others. In the mean time if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to post that.

  • Two new iPhones 1 promotional gb for 24 mos finally added.  I have to jump hoops next year for the second gb (also 24 mos) owed to me.

    Here's the update.
    SO they finally added the extra gb for 24 mos on only one of two new iPhones that I bought in September. Count the months, it's been three months.  
    WHy is my issue only half resolved and they said it's going to stay that way?
    BEcause they said that, yes they have documentation from the rep that activated the first phone that it was her fault.  She did it in the incorrect order for the promo to work.  She was supposed to make sure that the right plan was on the acct before activating the phone. She tried to correct it that same day but she didn't have a way to do it so she advised me to wait for the delivery of my husbands phone (the second phone) and once I receive it, at that time I should try to correct her mistake. 
    I Knew it was fishy and right away I consulted with a manager at the local store where I had first heard of the promotion. He tried to help me for two months and came back empty handed because as he put it he has even less access compared to the reps in customer service. Eventually I gave him a break and also because promised calls from supervisors were not kept. So I called customer service myself and after one knowlegeable rep and one sympathetic supervisor the end result is a problem half resolved..  A second supervisor after that is the one that explained to me that they have no way of fixing the reps mistake and he suggested that I accept 1gb for a year instead of 2 years and that then I should call back once that expires and ask for it to be added back for a second year.
    I Said No.  I will not go through this again, it's not fair to me.  I said to him its been three months now since I started trying to get this resolved I'm not going to repeat that stress again next year.   As it is it never fails every two Years when I add on a new promotional phone, there's always some mess that I have to spend months clearing up.
    SO dissapointed.  I told him I was going to  give him a bit more time to make things right but I'm beginning to believe it's so hard for them that they prefer not to bother and instead try to fix it best they can within their department.  Unfortunately it adds to my inconvenience.  So I think im going to have to put a complaint with the public utility commission and the better business bureau.

  • 1st generation Touch.  Apple still stock these for battery replacements?

    I am aware that apple replaces the entire device for poor battery life for a service charge $79.  Does this still apple for a 1st generation Touch?  I have a 16GB Nano, but the battery only last a few hours.
    Does Apple still keep these in stock?

    No way. $59 is too cheap. You need to buy it for more. You can sell your device here:http://www.gazelle.com/

  • Not Getting the Promotion Code for Trade In and Up program

    I was lured into buying a new phone from Verizon due to the trade in and up program.  From the website it says I could get a minimum $100 for my old phone when I purchased/activated a new smartphone.  I activated my new device and have been waiting for more than 5 business days for the promo code but it never arrived. I called both Verizon customer service and Verizon recycle program but they cannot help much since they can only escalate the issue.  Now I really doubt if this is a legitimate program?  Does anyone else have the same issue? Did you contact anyone who can help you?

    Karen,
    I was trying to take advantage of the "Trade In and Trade Up" promotion.  I was supposed to get a promotion code 5 days after activating a new phone.  Almost 3 weeks after activating a new phone I hadn't gotten a promotion code.
    Anyway I finally got the promotion code after 4 phone calls (2 to verizon, 2 to the recycling program).  So now I'm on to the next step and have submitted my phone trade in information.  We'll see if I have the difficulties others have described on the forums here.
    However, even if everything goes smoothly I've already wasted almost an hour of my time following up on something that should have just happened.  I would imagine most Verizon customers find it annoying to have their time wasted.
    Regards...

  • Navigating these fora

    Now that there is no more NNTP access to Adobe fora, I'm trying to find out how to navigate this tangled web. In my newsreader, I subscribed to a number of newsgroups - photoshop.elements.tips.tricks, indesign.windows, indesign.scripting, bridge.windows and reader. A single click downloaded all new messages in all of these and I could instantly see how many new posts there were in each.
    The only way I can find to get from one to another at this site is by going Home and then scrolling through a list of about 550 unsorted forum names to get to the one I want. I can't find indesign.windows anywhere. Can I not at least make a selection of 'favourites' somewhere? There must be a better way - can anyone help?

    Hi, the returns are not all in as far as the best way to navigate in a browser when you follow many forums. I expect I'll end up setting up a set of bookmarks for the ones I watch. I also started a gmail account just for the forums, which worked well until they added a numbering system to the subject line in emails, and broke the way gmail groups them. Sigh.
    Anyway, lots of people asking and answering in the comments forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments
