$0 books on Sony's site?
In the course of my normal book searching, I have discovered 4 normal books that retail for $0.00. I'm not sure if the price is a bug, or part of some promotion or something.
One is "The Foreign Correspondent" by Allan Furst. Another is (ironically) "Caught Stealing" by Charlie Huston. I'm wondering what's up with these. |

Oh yeah, they be free
![]() Best way to check for free books is to go to a genre section, click "see all titles" and then sort by price. All the freebies will be first. Right now Harlequin has 16 free Romance titles. |

Hmmm... that's odd.
I see "The Whiskey Rebels" in that free list. That's a new release hardcover from October. I wonder why it's free. (Good book by the way, I'm a David Liss fan.) |

True. I was thinking "what would be the benefit for a Sony owner?" and I really couldn't think of one. Yes, an ePub version could be easily converted to other platforms, but the same is also true of LIT and Mobi versions.

I know ADE isn't exactly the same as Epub, since it is Epub+DRM, but for my money (2 cents' worth) ADE is worse that LRX while it offers no options to reformat, and adds irritation like irregular page numbers. |

But there will be. I'm paying close attention to the OpenInkpot people. Aside from that, it seems Adobe is paying attention and slowly improving DE. The last update brought full justification with hyphenation (not on the Reader yet, but soon I hope), so maybe they will do away with those ridiculous page numbers in a subsequent release, too. |
