Jeepers! A publisher giving content away. What’s this?
Tor are giving away an ebook each week for your reading pleasure. Each title will be available in .pdf, MobiPocket and .html formats. No ‘on-line reader’ nonsense, no drm, no ‘just the first twenty pages’, the whole book, in the format you choose. This made my day.
This month it’s Robert Charles Wilson’s “Spin” , winner of the 2006 Hugo Award. In addition to the books, they’re also releasing extra content each week to keep the punters interested and keep them coming back to the site. Just go to Tor.com and sign up for the email.
Good move Tor.
