Good find, thanks.
As I am inclined to do, when I went to the website to check out the freebies, I went rummaging around the website to see what other goodies that I might be able to ferret out . . . .
If you will follow the link that Fbone gave,
http://bookperk.com, and click on any one of the four books offered for free, there will be a link to "e-books under $2" near the top left corner. If you click on it, you will go to a page which gives, apparently (so it says near the top left corner of the page), 1,860 results.
The first results are pre-order only, but then you get into the ones that are available immediately. The books are priced at $0.99, $1.99, and maybe other prices below $2.00. These all look to be special prices, lower than what HarperCollins will be selling them for later. You will also see some scattered free books, but the first four, at least, are all samplers.
If you are thinking, "yes, but I don't want to have the use the Bluefield reader or deal with conversion issues," I've got good news. If you click on one of the "pre-order" or buy now" buttons, as the case may be, you will go to a page where you will see a link (under the "pre-order; add to cart" button" or the "buy now" button, as the case may be) which says "view more retailers." If you click on that link, you will go to a page that gives a list of retailers, where you can buy or get free, as the case may be, the ebook. And,
the ebook will be in the format in which that retailer sells its ebooks (e.g., Amazon will be in Kindle/mobi)--
not the Bluefield format--and for the same price that HarperCollins has them!
You know what to do now.(ha) As far as I'm concerned, I'm overwhelmed by the list, and I'm just going to have to put a bookmark or leave the tab open and go through the list of ebooks tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any way to get the four freebies that Fbone found in any other format than Bluefield--it seems to be take it or leave it.
