Guess what went free in even more places just in time for Shark Week*?
Now also free @
Kobo &
iTunes (both available to Canadians), as well as
Amazon UK (all DRM-free†).
Requested thread title change that will fit:
Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) Meg: Origins [Submarine Fantasy Monster Thriller]
* Okay, technically the newer ones probably dropped sometime much sooner within the past 3 years since this first became a permafreebie @ Amazon anyway. But I didn't think to check on it again until now, because Shark Week⁑.
† Well, technically only DRM-Free for iTunes if you don't use OS X Mavericks and haven't ever opened the iBooks app, which hijacks your downloaded-into-the-iTunes-Media-Library "purchases" and converts them all into unzipped but encrypted folders in a hidden directory deep within the bowels of your ~/Library, which incidentally is a one-way trip‡, even for any DRM-free ePubs you used to have acquired via the auspices of the iTunes Store.
Most annoying, and I must be sure to tell them so via the Provide iBooks Feedback once the rage subsides.
But at least the store is much easier to search now.
‡ So yeah, even if you have an iDevice, if you're using Mavericks with all the software updates and think you might ever want to read this on another reader, you're going to want to grab the Kobo version too.
⁑ Incidentally, Shark Week itself seems to have become as fictional as this series, given that the Discovery Channel has been
lying to reputable scientists to get them to appear on their shows and
just plain making stuff up.
It's just sad when there's so much interesting stuff already known about sharks that they don't have to lie about, but they respond to predator pressure by apparently trying to take over SyFy®'s niche. I hope they evolve a new survival strategy.
