130 free books from Kaplan

koland · 01-03-2011, 12:56 PM

Details on the post that was moved to : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...0&postcount=18

There are books for pre-college, college, post-grad, memoirs, business books and books on writing.

Update: Books now live at B&N. Deals page is up on Sony, but no price drops there yet. There is also now a complete list of the books included, so you can browse thru them easily (very useful on the iPad), HERE.

When following the links below, be sure to double check the price before ordering. There will no doubt be some books that haven't been updated or that make their way onto the category pages that don't have a $0.00 price. Only those that show $0.00 when you click to order them are free; you may have to wait on a few books for price drops over the next few days. The books should be free thru Jan 10, 2011.

Does the publisher usually include these on other sites as well?

Can I access iBooks without an iDevice?

koland · 01-03-2011, 05:12 PM

Ok, more details. One of my readers found the NEW website address (I had an old one that they have password protected). This officially starts tomorrow, but Apple jumped the gun, it seems.

Looks like all the platforms will be supported.

I looks like there are books for Sony ereader, Kindle, iPad, and Nook. Yeah!

Thanks for the info!

Awesome.

I'm not seeing the Kindle as an option--am I missing something?

There was a Kindle next to the others before the site went live. Hopefully this is sorted out by morning. I'll check in on it then.

Books now live on B&N ; deals page up on Sony, but at full price. Links for list of books and iPad are added to first post in thread.

Are the ebooks clean or DRM infected?

koland · 01-04-2011, 11:55 AM

Most likely infected. But some of the Kaplan books were DRM free last time, from some sources.

Also, there are trickling in reports that B&N was charging early buyers, even though the web site showed $0.00 as the price. Be sure to check your receipts and contact them for a refund if it happens to you.

If only I had this opportunity when I was preparing for grad school.

Good titles here! Nice mix. 10 books = $0.00! Looking forward to reading The Art of Client Service.

From B&N, they appear to be free samples, rather than the entire book.

It should be the entire book (although there are samples, also, for each). I only added one title there to my libary, so far (waiting for Sony to get their act together), but it is taking quite some time to download to nookStudy.... ok, all 138 pages are there (Caffeine will not help you pass that test).

Would have loved this back when I was in school and making sure my nieces download as much as they can on their new iPads, as the first is starting college next year (and some is pre-college prep, for the younger one).

Dr. Drib · 01-04-2011, 04:41 PM

Yes, it looks like I was mistaken.

One can get a sample or the entire book.

I'm on the Sony Reader Library Software right now and I'm seeing a whole bunch of $0 prices.
