Amazon and Smashwords are great for FREE books, but Smashwords just aren't formatted as nicely as I'd like....might sound like a complaint, I realize they're free, but I just think Amazon does a great job.

Does Barnes and Noble or Kobo books offer any freebies? I never checked.

Yes, but many are formated (and uploaded) by smashwords, so you'll have the same formatting.

I know I take extra care with my smashwords formatting. It usually takes 3-4 tries, but it's possible to get nice, clean formatting with smashwords.

Im looking for the same thing... I usually buy the paper books, but just got an ipad, doesnt make sense to buy the paper version and the ebook. Curious if theres a repo out there with new bestsellers/biographies?

Amazon!

Not sure you can actually read...

I already own the physical books, just got my ipad, want the E-book and was curious if theres a place to get them.... Dont want to actually have to buy the e-book since I already own the physical one.

P.s. I prefer better real book than my ipad. Just using it more to watch movies or read daily news.

I'm going to start getting mine from the library. BlueFire Reader now supports library loans. I also see that OverDrive is coming out with their own IPad reader app that will make getting library books even easier. I can't wait.

I just found out about the Bluefire app a few days ago and it is long over due! (No pun intended!). I really think the OverDrive people got sold a bill of goods when they decided to go with Adobe Digital Editions because it shut out all of the Apple mobile device users. I guess they were the first (and probably only?) company to develop a DRM scheme that would only allow the publication to be viewable for a specific length of time.

Bluefire sounds great. The capability to get library books is HUGE. Is it pretty user friendly?

ETA: Never mind. I just saw your post in the Epub thread. Search is your friend. Thanks!
