Humble eBook Bundle Lets You Pay What You Want For eBooks

Following on the success of the various Humble Bundles for DRM-free video games, the organization has just launched its first Humble eBook Bundle. It includes Pirate Cinema by Cory Doctorow, Pump Six by Paolo Bacigalupi, Zoo City by Lauren Beukes, Invasion by Mercedes Lackey, Stranger Things Happen, and Magic for Beginners, both by Kelly Link. If you choose to pay more than the average (about $11 at this writing), you also get Old Man's War by John Scalzi, and Signal to Noise, by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. The books are available in PDF, MOBI, and ePub formats, without DRM. As with all the Humble Bundles, you can choose how much you'd like to pay, and how the proceeds are split between any of the authors and/or among three charities.

Pay what you want, support charity, get your product built!

Pay what you want! If you paid for web development separately, it could cost thousands or even millions of dollars for larger corporate sites!

You choose how your purchase is divided: Developers, Charities, or even Us!

Can't wait for the upcoming "Humble Education Bundle" and "Humble Grocery Bundle". This is the future.

Let's see, I like Arthur C. Clarke, so I'll pay $20.01: "2 0 . 0 !" (accidental shift+1)

Oops, now my account is overdrawn by $2.3 * 10 ^ 18...
