Toshiba Bookplace to launch tomorrow – get your $80 in free ebooks

Toshiba Bookplace to launch tomorrow - get your $80 in free ebooks eBookstore I just got an email from Toshiba reminding me that the Toshiba Bookplace website will be open tomorrow. As part of the launch Toshiba will be giving away 4 ebooks:

  • History’s Greatest Lies: The Startling Truths Behind World Events our History Books Got Wrong – William Weir (Fair Winds Press)
  • I Know an Old Teacher – Anne Bowen and Stephen Gammell (Lerner Publishing Group)
  • Monster Boy’s Soccer Game, by Carl Emerson and Lon Levin Carl Emerson and Lon Levin (Magic Wagon)
  • Knack Grilling Basics – Linda Johnson Larsen (Knack, an imprint of Globe Pequot Press)

The promotion will run for the next couple weeks, so there's no reason to hurry.

As much as I want the DRM on this ebook format to die, I think you should get the ebooks. This ebookstore is based on Blio, and the Blio ebook format appears to have a number of interesting tricks that other formats lack. I've only seen demos at conferences (it's not the same as having it on my computer), so I don't know for sure. But I'm intrigued by the possibilities.

Everything quickly spiraled out of control from there. Before I started this blog in January 2010 I covered ebooks, ebook readers, and digital publishing for about 2 years as a part of MobileRead Forums. It's a great community, and being a member is a joy. But I thought I could make something out of how I covered the news for MobileRead, so I started this blog."

    I’m not sure about this software. I’ve tried using it, but every time I try to download a book, it says that the title is not supported by Google. How do you search for free books if every one you choose say it’s not supported? I don’t get it.
