No problem when I originally downloaded the epub. I just tested and both the mobi and epub versions downloaded with no problems. Windows 10 x64, Firefox 70.

The December 2019 free ebook is out and it's an expanded edition of the first Wild Cards collection, edited (then and now) by George R.R. Martin.

I think I read Wild Cards VI a long time back. Anthologies aren't usually my thing, but I enjoyed it. I'm happy to have this one.

This month's freebie is "Eve of Darkness" by S.J. Day
Quote:
Cursed by God, hunted by demons, desired by Cain and Abel... All in a day’s work.

For Evangeline Hollis, a long ago fling with a bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks just became a disaster of biblical proportions. One night with a leather-clad man of mystery has led to a divine punishment: the Mark of Cain.

Thrust into a world where sinners are drafted into service to kill demons, Eve’s learning curve is short. A longtime agnostic, she begrudgingly maneuvers through a celestial bureaucracy where she is a valuable but ill-treated pawn. She’s also become the latest point of contention in the oldest case of sibling rivalry in history...

But she’ll worry about all that later. Right now she’s more concerned with learning to kill while staying alive. And saving the soul she’d never believed she had ... in S.J. Day’s Eve of Darkness.
Valid through 11:59 PM ET February 14

FYI - this is a repeat from 1/30/2018. Thanks for posting though - people may have missed it the last time.

Tor seems to be planning several extra book give-a-ways in April. From the Tor eBook Club site:

The only thing I don't like is that in the DRM free versions they use entities instead of the characters like was done with the DRMed version.

Mostly that named entities are easier for people to read than numeric entities or even the character itself. & nbsp ; compared to & #160 ; or ' ' for a non-breaking space. However in epub3, there are only 5 permitted named entities which are inherited from XHTML5 which inherited them from XML ( & amp;, & quot;, & apos;, & lt;, & gt; ). You can define other named entities but you would need to add these definitions to each XHTML file unlike epub2 where you could add a DTD in the DOCTYPE. Compare the DOCTYPE in a epub3 ( <!DOCTYPE html> ) while in a epub2 ( <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> ).
