E-Books
One of the newer trends in books is that of the E-book. I like the feel of books, the weight, the smell, so it will be a while before I switch to an E-book. For those of you who like and use them, head over to Tor.
From /.
“Tor Books is launching a new site and running a campaign in which they are giving away e-books (free as in beer) until the site goes live. To get in on the deal, fill out the form at their site, and each week you will receive a newsletter containing links to download a new book. The first two books are Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson followed by Old Man’s War by John Scalzi. Scalzi’s site says: ‘My understanding is that they don’t have DRM on them. Or at least, mine isn’t supposed to have, and I don’t think they’re planning mine to be special in that regard.’”
It is an interesting idea. Apparently, Baen books is also doing free e-books online. You can find more information on that publisher at their Webscription page. If you like E-books, then you will love FREE E-books.
And to pimp the one who gave me this info, check out Callblog, my boyfriend’s blog.
