Free novel from iTunes - Life of Pi
Title: Life of Pi by Yann Martel
For owners of an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, Apple is offering a free download every day from December 26 to January 6. To access the downloads, you will need to install iTunes and create an iTunes Store Account. It looks like this offer is good only in Europe. Apple's Description: "One boy, one boat, one tiger . . . After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan – and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years." Last edited by Susan Crealock; 12-30-2010 at 08:57 AM. |

It's via Apple. It's too expensive.

I don't think this offer is valid for all European iTunes customers.

You have to have a UK address as your default on the Manage My Kindle page for that ASIN. There is another ASIN for US customers (actually, two, with different prices and publication dates), which you can see in the box that shows all formats.
