5 more Sony/Kobo/ADE-compatible time-limited freebies have shown up, at the Borders, Kobo, and Carina Press stores, respectively.

It can be tricky to get stuff from Borders, which is also US-only, so I'm linking to the original announcement threads which sometimes contain helpful tips once you scroll down to the ultimate download link.

Basically, the best way to do it is to click on each individual book product page for the "Add to Library" button, instead of any aggregate listing page (tends to give you an error message).

And if that doesn't work, then load up the Borders Desktop app and search for the books via author/title in the store and click Download Now for the free books (DO NOT CLICK if the "free" book has a price on it in the app; try again via the website after logging out, restarting your browser, and logging back in).

After a short delay (maybe a day or so), you'll see a "Download ePub" link in the "My eBooks Library" on the website which you can then get via Adobe Digital Editions.

Dancing in the Lowcountry, southern general/literary fiction by James Villas. Repeat freebie which was previously offered for Sony. Now at Borders and Kobo (free for Canadians there).

Vengeance Road, thriller by Adam Mofina. Borders.

Too Good to Be True, contemporary romance by Kristan Higgins. Borders.

Twas the Night, holiday chick-lit or romantic comedy linked short story set by Sandra Hill, Kate Holmes, and Trish Jensen. Borders.

Also, a freebie that's been on the Borders list for a long time, which they've apparently forgotten to take off:

Colters' Woman, erotic contemporary romance novel (full-length) featuring a familial ménage (f/m/m/m, I believe) by Maya Banks. Set in the same series as the equally free novella Colters' Wife, which I may or may not have linked in the post above, which is permafreebie at Kobo and B&N (a Samhain book, so it's DRM-free at the latter).

Over at Carina Press, there's a time-limited holiday coupon giveaway of a pre-order romance story, available in DRM-free ePub and PDF formats. MR member bookratt's post has all the details.

Like Clockwork, sf steampunk romance by Bonnie Dee.

Finally, if you enjoyed those Sourcebook romance freebies from the earlier update, it turns out that as part of the promo push they've discounted some of those authors' other books to $2.99 in many of the stores.

So if you want to pick up the sequels cheap, now would be a good time to buy (and also show the publisher that a freebie giveaway is a great way to promote sales).
