Microsoft Reader Summer 03 Freebies

TadW · 07-05-2003, 10:02 AM

Microsoft offers free best-selling titles from a wide range of notable authors . . . for FREE! This offer will run from July through November, 2003.

Free books rotate each week.

If you don't have a PPC or don't want to use Microsoft Reader, you can try converting the eBook to HTML first with
Clit .

Did you get clit to work on the freebies - I have it working on some old books but I downloaded one of the free ones and it didn't work - it crashed.

You are probably using clit version 1.2a ... version 1.4 is now available at members.lycos.co.uk/hostintheshell/ and it will work with the freebies.

chunlin66 · 07-08-2003, 09:14 PM

Where are the .lit files stored on my computer after I download them?

Hey Moe - your link doesn't work.

Wouldn't happen to have a different one, would you?

Admin edit: I am truely sorry, but I had to remove the download due to copyrights...

And the GPL open-source...

Btw, does anyone know how to download the Freebies without installing MS Passport?

chunlin66 · 07-09-2003, 07:18 PM

I would send them to you if I could find them on my computer. It doesn't show you where it downloads to.

I'd be interested in getting these freebies without going through the drama of installing MS passport as well.

Craig.

Sent to both, but the "Candy and Me" book is too big to send to Yahoo addresses.
