If you were around last year, you know that Read an eBook Week is a great time to pick up some free or heavily discounted ebooks, both from indie authors and from some of the smaller ebookstores that you might not normally visit. This year, when the eBook celebrates it's 40th anniversary, should prove no exception. Click the banner above to go to the main website or follow the links below to find some of today's free selections. Don't forget to look at
their contest to win one of three Kobo Reades, while you are there.
- Smashwords, of course, leads the way with free and discounted books from indie authors. Many are outright free (download and be sure to back these up), while others are discounted by 25% to 100% using the special coupons codes for this week (each will have the appropriate coupon code shown next to the Buy button). These will remain in your Smashwords library after purchase, so you can redownload them at any time. I picked up a novella from Margaret Lake, Sweet Savage Charity, and will be browing thru the list all week to see what else I can uncover. I know that Melanie Nilles has three books at 100% discount and most of the others marked down, for example.
- Bewrite Books is giving away any two titles in their catalog, to anyone who buys one ebook (or printed book) this week, from ANY bookstore or publisher. You can't get easier terms than that. Details are in their blog (quite a ways down the page), but those who buy that one ebook from BeWrite will find a bonus in their free book order.
- Omnilit/AllRomance has a number of free reads on their site (which are free most of the time, although the list does change now and then)
- Drollerie Press has six free stories up for downloading
- CurrClick! has a free curriculum book on Graphs today (and more on their Free Stuff page.
- TriFuel, Sunday Scholar and MindsetSports are very similar sites, with several free downloads on each.
- Twilight Times Books has a number of books free this week and i looks all of them are free today (the page says some are not, but I downloaded at least a PDF of each one; perhaps more formats will be available later.
- The free book at Dorrance changes daily, so be sure to click each day this week. Today's link isn't working, but you can get it by clicking HERE.
- ireadiwrite, Rose Dog Books and Red Lead Books also have a new free book daily.
If you scroll down to the Authors section of the
RAEBW partners page, you'll find links to a number of books that are located on individual author websites, while a number of the Book Sellers/Publishers also have a free download available (although it can sometimes take a bit of digging to find them)
