Get Your Free Tor ebooks!
If you haven't been over to get your free ebooks from Tor yet, you need to do so. All they want is your email address so they can send you the links to the books and the updates on the new website they are soon launching.
The first book they sent was Mistborn, the first in Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn Trilogy (Sanderson is also the guy picked to finish Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time Series). The second Old Man's War by John Scalzi, 2006's winner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. And next week is Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel.
Even if you don't prefer ebooks, this can give you an opportunity to read a few chapters to see if you'd like it, then you can go buy them at your local bookstore.

I wonder if buying them from shops after seeing a sample is what people will be doing? I use amazon's look inside feature is I'm looking at non-fiction and can't see the book I want in Borders. I'm not into ebooks but anything that gets you interested in reading someone has to be good?

He says that becasue of the way royalties work, offeing the book free doesn't hurt him and if people who read (who usually prefer books in hand) try this and then buy the books, it only helps him.
