Free Nubula nominated stories through iBooks

iStories

Tor.com's Hugo-, Locus-, and Nebula-nominated stories are now available for free for the iPad! That's "Eros, Philia, Agape" and "A Memory of Wind" by Rachel Swirsky, "First Flight" by Mary Robinette Kowal, and "Overtime" by Charles Stross," all prettied up with their original illustrations.

Thought you might like to know! Great for summertime reading! Oh yeah, and totally free too! Enjoy.

Thanks for that.
Looks like you need to sign in to the US store to get access to these.

Are there different books available from iBooks depending on where you live? That seems strange.

it all depends on licensing agreements with publishers, just like print copies. between countries books have different publishing dates, even different titles (just look at the harry potter series), and if you have to get them translated, quite a bit can change.

I believe these are free on Tor's website as well, at least the Stross story is
