In my inbox this morning, a message from Amazon:
"Dear Amazon.com Customer,
As someone who has enjoyed classic literature on Kindle, we wanted to offer you the opportunity to download a free exclusive copy of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, the first title in Penguin's new Enhanced e-Book Classic line.
In addition to the full length version of this timeless title, the Enhanced e-Book Classic features a filmography, book reviews from the time of the original publication, a chronology of Jane Austen's life, recipes, instructions on period dancing, social etiquette, and how to prepare a tea, a literary tour of famous Austen sites, and much more."
JA nerds go wild!
