Emma Newman's The Split Worlds series is switching publishers, and the new publisher's edition of the first book is free at the moment, at Amazon US and Amazon UK. If you search the title instead you'll also hit the previous edition sans Kindle link.

Quote:
Beautiful and nuanced as it is dangerous, the manners of Regency and Victorian England blend into a scintillating fusion of urban fantasy and court intrigue.

Between Mundanus, the world of humans, and Exilium, the world of the Fae, lies the Nether, a mirror-world where the social structure of 19th-century England is preserved by Fae-touched families who remain loyal to their ageless masters. Born into this world is Catherine Rhoeas-Papaver, who escapes it all to live a normal life in Mundanus, free from her parents and the strictures of Fae-touched society. But now she’s being dragged back to face an arranged marriage, along with all the high society trappings it entails.

Crossing paths with Cathy is Max, an Arbiter of the Split Worlds treaty with a dislocated soul who polices the boundaries between the worlds, keeping innocents safe from the Fae. After a spree of kidnappings and the murder of his fellow Arbiters, Max is forced to enlist Cathy’s help in unravelling a high-profile disappearance within the Nether. Getting involved in the machinations of the Fae, however, may prove fatal to all involved.

Today is the last day of the Saga Press (new Simon & Schuster SF & fantasy imprint) $2.99 sale.

B&N
Amazon

The Amazon link also lists some non-Saga Press stuff, sorry.

Some of the authors include Linda Nagata, Chuck Wendig, Catherynne M. Valente, Ken Liu, Cassandra Rose Clarke, and Nnedi Okorafor. Ken Liu's book, The Grace of Kings is a Nebula Award nominee.

I just finished Linda Nagata's "The Red" trilogy, which is quite good, and I've heard others talking about nominating it for the Hugo.

IF Magazine

"You can now read the entirety of sci-fi magazine If for free

All 176 issues of the magazine, which ran from 1952 to 1974, are available to download."

discussed here:

http://arstechnica.com/the-multivers...e-if-for-free/

download via via internet archive:

https://archive.org/details/ifmagazine

So, yes, but....

I tried one epub download and it was the usual for Internet Archive - rough OCR scan lacking illustrations. These If Magazine scans tend to lose the space between words - ugly!

I imagine some industrious individual will someday render usable epubs from these files, but it will be a LOT of work!

The pdfs are beautiful, of course, but at over 20M per you probably don't want to download the whole collection!

(Please forgive if this has been mentioned previously.)

The moderating team has doubts about the legitimacy of this material. As always, you should do your own copyright research before downloading, and bear in mind the fact that "archive.org" contains a great deal of content that infringes copyright (along with far more that's perfectly, OK, of course - we're not suggesting that it's not a legit site).

Do your homework before you download.

Please do not ask for help to obtain unauthorised (aka pirated) copies of copyright works here. Doing so is likely to lead to a permanent ban from MobileRead.

I don't think the publisher has ever offered any of that series for free. Or if they did, I missed it.

If you have access to Overdrive via your library, you might be able to get your library to purchase the eBooks if they have not already.

No. If you want it, you will have to buy it. Mobileread respects copyright laws and will not allow pirated copies to be available from this site.

The Mobi and Epubs I looked at were almost completely unreadable, like this:



So I just got the PDFs.

I've found the Archive to be a decent place for PDFs (although I mostly go there for the live music recordings). The other formats are good raw material for doing your own clean-up. I think Project Gutenberg sometimes uses Archive scans as starting points for their own conversions.

Can you explain how you ascertained that these items were in the public domain in your country? It would be extremely useful for other people to know. They plainly aren't in the "life+70" public domain, since many of the authors involved as still alive.

The IFs aren't PD under US rules either. I dug up my notes for a bunch of the IFs I did for PG. There are renewals and UK authors in the first dozen or so I looked at. It might be a case where the successors to Galaxy Publishing Corp. posted them, but I have my doubts.
