Just checked out shortcovers new name and site called kobobooks.com.
It is an improvement for browsing books. There are now sections like mystery, romance etc.
There is now a link to free books but all the free books appear to be web based or mobile. Not for ereaders. This is not an improvement to those who use ereaders. I can get the same books at manybooks, feedbooks, gutenberg all in epub format.
I am enjoying the 24 days of deals though and trying new authors because of it.
So out of 5 I would give kobobooks.com a 3. Meets my book purchasing needs but the fuss about the freebooks is not such a big deal.
