It's that time of year again, when publishers and authors give us tons of free books, in order to entice us to read an eBook (something that made a lot more sense before the Kindle, when few people read ebooks). Some of the specials are all week long, such as the promo over at Smashwords, where you'll find hundreds of books marked down or free for the week, while others are single day offers (sometimes with a new one each day). I'll try to track down and post the daily offers, but you may want to explore the official Read an EBook Week site to see the other offers that are being posted by authors, publishers and retail outlets.Time limited offers:
- central avenue publisher has three books up: Tallis' Third Tune by Ellen L. Ekstrom; Shadow of a Distant Morning by William Topek; and Cold in California(The Twice-Baked Vampire Series, Book One) by Deborah Riley-Magnus
- Twilight Times Books is giving away several books, some of them all week long, but at least one new one each day
