It's Complicated
You can download a free PDF copy of Danah Boyd's "It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens" from her website:

http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/arc...en-access.html

It's also available for the Kindle ($11.99) and Nook ($13.99).

She explains the reason for making the PDF available for free:

Quote:
I didn’t write this book to make money. I wrote this book to reach as wide of an audience as I possibly could. This desire to get as many people as engaged as possible drove every decision I made throughout this process.

How is a free copy of a book not a deal?

It's a deal/freebie and it's not self promotion so what's the issue?

Thank you for posting the deal, OP.

To anybody bashing this, the posting fully abides by the rules. I wish I knew why someone posting a legitimate deal gets the third degree on all the deal forums. These witch hunts drive contributing members away.

Apologies, I misread. I thought it was the OP who wrote the quote - not the author of the book.

Thank you for sharing, drjenkins.

You appear not to have read the original post correctly. The "deal" is the free PDF.

Of course, the ones you cite are not deals.

However, the FREE PDF is, indeed, a deal and its place in this thread is quite appropriate.

Hmm?? I thought PDF was a digital representation of printing. Sounds like an electronic book to me. I even believe we have an ebook forum that accepts PDF files.

Kindlekitten, just take your foot out of your mouth and read more carefully next time, eh?

Ebooks can be PDFs, and a free one looks like a deal to me. Now, if you really must have the last word, it's your turn again.
