Tor Books Is Giving Away E-Books

Posted by kdawson on Sunday February 10, 2008 @09:32AM from the what's-not-to-like dept.

stoolpigeon writes "Tor Books is launching a new site and running a campaign in which they are giving away e-books (free as in beer) until the site goes live. To get in on the deal, fill out the form at their site, and each week you will receive a newsletter containing links to download a new book. The first two books are Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson followed by Old Man's War by John Scalzi. Scalzi's site says: 'My understanding is that they don't have DRM on them. Or at least, mine isn't supposed to have, and I don't think they're planning mine to be special in that regard.'"

You can always use virtualization. Personally I find innoteck's VirtualBox the easiest. I use it to run Dev-C++ (for windows bound programming) because Dev-C++ under wine displays dupicates of every file for some reason :( There's several good websites explaining how to set VirtualBox up, most are for ubuntu but it's pretty much the same for every distro. I run XP Ultimate (as in, Cracked by Johnny (thanks Johnny)) on it and it's nice to beable to launch it to run short, small apps. For every day use, I wouldn't recommend it but I don't think you need to crack PDF's every day, all day.
