I have all of them but have not read any yet. Amazon also had Kindle versions (*) of a few of these last month for free.

Anyone have any idea which of the above books are either standalone, or part of a series that is available as an ebook?
If not I'll look into it myself later, I don't fancy starting a book that's first in a series if the rest isn't available (or going to be) in ebook form. I'd rather keep those on one side for later when the rest of the series starts appearing.
As for the original topic of this thread, I too was a little suprised to find tor didn't do ebooks after seeing their ebook freebie offer. I assumed they were doing something like baen free library, giving away a selection of books in order to get you interested in new authors and buying the rest.
That said, it was ebooks for free. So no complaints here. Would have been nice to know which books are the first in a series though and even a note saying that the rest of the series can be purchased in paperback only at this time.
I hope that Baen and Tor get everything sorted out, I'm planning on buying quite a bit from the webscription service, love the idea behind it and the price is very reasonable. Once I've finished reading through the freebies and the few books I've bought I'm sure webscriptions will be getting some of my money
