A website owned and run by Simon & Schuster, http://250words.com/, is giving away one free ebook to each person who subscribes to their daily emails. I assume that all of the books offered are Simon & Schuster, or related company, imprints.

The offer is "valid for new subscribers only and expires 6/30/14" etc., etc., etc.

Here's how you get the book. Go to http://250words.com/free-ebook/ and enter your email address to subscribe to their daily emails. They will send a redemption code to your email address, and a link to another website where you will need to type in the redemption code, if it is not there already, and click on a link to get your book.

Oh, I looked and found a link at the bottom of that email message that you would use to unsubscribe from the emails. So, I would think that it is easy to unsubscribe from them should you choose to do so after you've gotten your free book.

I guess you're dying to know what delicious ebooks are available. Here they are (at least, the ones that I was offered). I'm sorry, there simply is not enough room to give descriptions of all of these, but you should be able to get them all at http://bookshout.com/store/promos/pi...&step_number=2.
-Finding the Next Steve Jobs: How to Find, Keep, and Nurture Talent. By Nolan Bushnell.
-Contagious: Why Things Catch On. By Jonah Berger.
-Gold: The Race for the World's Most Seductive Metal. Matthew Hart.
-Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending. By Elizabeth Dunn.
-The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company that Is Connecting the World. By David Kirkpatrick.
-One Up on Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money In. By Peter Lynch.
-The Face-to-Face Book: Why Real Relationships Rule in a Digital Marketplace. By Ed Keller.

I don't know what format these books come in as I have not chosen the book that I want yet. I did read that "after redeeming your ebook, you can access it on the web, or from your smartphone or tablet." Once I've downloaded my book, I'll try to remember to update this post with what I find out about the format question. Of course, if you find out before I've posted the update, please feel free to post the update.

Now I've got the tough job of figuring out which book that I want . . . .
