Free Annotated Pride and Prejudice

Bethany House has a nicely-formatted edition of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that's annotated with interesting trivia and modern insight. It's currently free (probably today only).
B&N Amazon

If you want to search at other bookstores, it's easier to search using ISBN 9781441205018 rather than the title (there are many, many different editions).

The last time this edition of Pride and Prejudice was free, Sense and Sensibility (ISBN 9781441212481) was free a day or two later. I'll link it now, in case I don't think to check.

Looks like they did it in reverse order this time around. S&S was free last week (I picked it up), and now P&P is free. Of course, it won't hurt to keep checking. Or maybe use eReaderIQ to save time.

I hadn't used eReaderIQ before, but I'm thinking I should start.

This looks neat, but I'm mostly interested in price drops for particular books, and eReaderIQ works best for that purpose, AFAIK. When I get a price drop notice from them, I simply do a search at Kobo (which is the only other major ebook store I shop at) to see if there's a price match. Extra work, but this way my book-buying is more targeted. I found subscribing to free/bargain book services caused me to pick up/buy a lot of books I was only mildly interested in, for just for the sake of price, rather than from any real desire to read them.

However, everyone's needs are different, and BookBub looks like a great service. I have a couple of friends who may like it; I'll pass it on. Thanks for sharing

Check out LuzMe ( http://luzme.com/ ). It works like eReaderIQ, but across multiple bookstores. You can choose multiple bookstores to track from Google, Amazon, Kobo, B&N and a few others, and which specific books to follow. I've used it off and own for several months and like it.

From the second paragraph of chapter one, I got this: "...on his fairst entering a neighbourhood...". I had to put this edition away because I couldn't figure out what 'fairst' meant.

The Google scan of the printed book has the same error, so it's not just bad OCR. Does that make it better or worse?

I tried using luzme before but I stopped. I can't remember why now but something about it wasn't working for me. I might give it a try again.

In this comment here HarryT mentions Jane Austen's "spelling was awful"; maybe that would account for it

Maybe I have a high tolerance for typos, but that looks like "...on his first entering a neighbourhood..." to me even at first glance. To be fair, I've read a lot of badly OCR'd E-books over the years, so I'm pretty used to deciphering the text.

Repeat freebie @ B&N & Amazon (also UK, probably just for a few more hours if this is one of Baker's 1-day offerings).

Also free @ Kobo & Google Play (both available to Canadians) & ChristianBook (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide).
