Free Sci-Fi Books for the iPhone
For all you iPhone and iPad users, there is a free app that includes more than 700 classic science fiction novels.
Free Science Fiction Books unlocks a massive collection of public domain sci-fi, from the pulp sci-fi of Edgar Rice Burroughs, to the politically charged space stories of H.G. Wells and deep sea adventures of Jules Verne. Other authors include: Stanley Weinbaum, Jack London, E.M. Forster, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. And all, might we belabor the point, absolutely free.
Iain M. Banks for $1
Sure, we want you to buy this book from our Amazon store, but sometimes the competition is so good, that we have to give props. Orbit is offering a different e-book every month for one dollar, each. In February, it will be Use of Weapons, the 1991 Clarke and BSFA nominee by Iain M. Banks. There’s your chance to snag two more squares in your award book collection.
Of course, if you like ebooks and want to save some cash, WWEnd has a few for $0, in our Project Gutenburg ebook page. The 24 authors represented include 14 award winners from our database, including such luminaries as Poul Anderson, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Cory Doctorow, and Kurt Vonnegut.
Since I travel so much, and rarely stay in the same city more than a year or two, I’ve been investing in e-books for a while, now. Hey, I don’t have to pack as many books when I move, and now I can carry large portions of my library in my pocket, when I fly. These ebooks are readable by any reader (I have two Sony Readers, but I currently use the Amazon Kindle for its built in browser and e-store), and can even be imported in to many smartphones.
