Read an eBook Week - lots of free ebooks!

This week is Read an Ebook Week and there are a number of authors and publishers making one or more of their ebooks available for free. These range from short stories to full novels to entire libraries, with topics from self-help to fiction to erotica. Something for nearly everyone, if you look around a little.

For your first stop, go by eBookGuru and sign up for the special eBook Week mailing list. They've partnered up with partnered with Champagne Books and will send you a link and passwordd for two books, both in PDF and MOBI format (no DRM, so you can convert to any format from there): Invisible By Kimber Chin and Mis-Staked by J. Morgan.

Zumaya Publications has an entire page of free ebooks. These are all in non-DRM ereader format and are not Kindle compatible without some conversion.

BeWrite Books is giving away a different selection of books every day this week. Be sure to check back there every day; today's selections are all Mysteries, while tomorrow is poetry, etc. Click on the covers on the special promotion page (not on the author info pages) to get to the special zero cost versions of these books. All of the selections will be in PDF format.

Amanda Young has several free reads available on her blog, in PDF format.

There are links to many more at the Read an E-Book Week website.

And, of course, there are the sites that provide a steady source of new and newly formatted ebooks in the public domand and under Creative Commons licenses. These include:
