The "download free sample of this ebook" doesn't seem to be a download; it's a flash-based viewer in the website. Some books don't have a preview.
Book sizes/length not listed--and I suspect some of the $.99 ebooks are short stories, not novels; they may be heading for complaints from customers who expect an "ebook" to be more than 5,000 words long. (
Beauty Is, at Borders.
Same book at publisher's website--mentioning that it's a short story of 2000 words.)
Ebooks come in 3 types: ePub, PDF, and "Mobile." Which maybe means "ePub that verifies through your mobile device instead of a desktop/laptop." No mention of DRM. (Why talk about DRM? You can read their books using their free software, on the devices they have listed. They're not offering books you can read on a device of your choice.)
The "million books" are free google editions; they're in PDF and ePub (uncorrected OCR text, often with asterisks instead of quotation marks).
The popups on mouse-hover over the books would give me a splitting headache if I spent any real time at the site.
Am I missing something, or does the listing for "
Morning Star by Wilkie Collins" show a cover indicating it's by H. Rider Haggard?
