Howard's End Sony freebie
While checking out whether I wanted to download the current Weird Tales Sony freebie I saw that Howard's End by E.M Forster is also available for free at the moment.
Its listed in the Fiction and Literature section. You can find it at http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/e-m...00000000107585 |

It's also available in two versions here on MobileRead.
This is my version: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35919 Sony's version, also free - as are all titles here on MobileRead - contains spaces between paragraphs, which personally drives me batty. All my newer titles have em dashes, by the way, and are single-spaced. don |

I Actually Prefer the Extra Line Break Between Paragraphs, I find it helps my eyes flow better over the paragraph (so i dont loose my place at all really when they are there where a page full of text and no breaks blinking used to make me reread lines) and gives me a sense of acomplishment at the end of every paragraph(and gives me the second or two i need to think about what i read so i retain text better). it also gives me the Reminder that it is a new paragraph and gives my head the mental pause it needs to register that fact.

You might also try to get as many of the Sony classics priced at $1.99; as many of them (not all), have double spaces. It takes extra work to get rid of those spaces, and Sony seems a little lazy in that regard. Take advantage of their laziness now, before they feel the hit from more competition. Don |

And at manybooks.net. And probably at any of 100 other sites offering public domain downloads.

We do have some funny characters here on mobileread.
With Pilotbob's "Its Just a BUCK" and Dr Drib's paragraph breaks "drive me batty". Thanks for the entertainment. |

THANK YOU! to both tech_au and xianfox for the heads up on these freebies. I didn't have the Howard's End, Swashbuckling Fantasy & Full-Blooded Fantasy. Don't know how you found them, but thank you! I'm just in the process of downloading them now. |
