I know what they are doing. Giving away book 1 in a series so we'll read book 1 and then want to read the others in the series. BUT, they don't make the others available except to Kindle owners (as eBooks). This is where is becomes unfair. There are more people out there with eBook display devices who do not have a Kindle then there are Kindle owners. So what Tor is doing is shooting themselves in the foot by pissing off a lot of people. And this will effect not only eBooks, but pBooks as well.
