16 free books as a special treat for Jane Austen's birthday, offered by Sourcebooks, who've been quite generous with the romance freebies in recent months.
6 illustrated versions of Jane Austen's own books, and 10 of those Austen-inspired spin-off novels, will be free from the 16th-17th December (promotion extended because of some glitches getting them free in particular stores).
These are supposed to be available in all the major ebooks stores, including Sony, though Sony doesn't have them free yet.
But at the moment, you can get them directly from the publisher in ePub and PDF, as well as Google Books, if you're in the States, or at least willing to appear to be.
This page at
Sourcebooks has full details of the promo, including handy links to each book at their own as well as other e-stores.
And the
Celebrate Jane Austen's Birthday with Free eBooks! thread right here on MR is the place to go for more info on the illustrated versions, as well as updates on each store's freebie-ization status.
These books were free to Canadians in the Kindle store, so hopefully they'll be free for us at Sony, too, when they finally appear.
