4 Patricia Cornwell books for 11.29 Canadian. Since I haven't read any is great deal for me.

Check and make sure they are in ePub. I downloaded yesterday's deal (The Fury by Jason Pinter) which was free. But, after I got it in my library, I discovered it wasn't in ePub and thus could not be downloaded to my PC. I can read it on-line and also on my iPhone but not on my eBook Reader.

Fictionwise has had this set for awhile, though not at this price. These are not her best, imho. If they were the first four in the set, I'd be in, but I really dislike the later ones.

Amazon has this set, too, for $7.99 USD.

I couldn't figure out how to download it. I knew that it was free, but there was nothing there that seemed to allow me to do it. I've bought a few things from there with no issue, got other free books from there, but this gave me an issue. Maybe it was because it was epub? I've had the same issue on a couple of free books like that. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

You can't download The Fury (the person who keeps saying that just added it to their library, according to another msg and is using the wrong word). This particular book has no epub option available.

Whether or not you can download it to your phone is another issue (but I didn't see any way to do that, either, just read it while online).

Since it uses a flash display with no cut/paste allowed, you also can't even create your own real ebook of it, so you can read it without frying your eyeballs.
