Entire Vorkosigan series free ebooks

[afuna]

Ooh this explains a recent uptick in discussion of the Vorkosigan series that I've seen on my droll.

Okay, so it it turns out that the entire Vorkosigan series has been released in one CD of free ebooks. I love Baen's attitude towards ebooks, btw. Their free library has led me to discover one new author (also to realize that another author just isn't for me, but without any remorse since I didn't have to pay for the book before discovering that *G*).

The best part about this? I've bought three of the books in the Vorkosigan series, but I haven't been able to read them because I'm missing parts of books. Now I can add the series to my to-read list \o/

Thanks for posting that Afuna. I collect free ebook sites. :) I told my friend paganpaul about it as well. He is always writing about how difficult publishers are making it to even BUY an ebook these days.

Yeah :( I have been lucky in that I've found two ebook friendly publishers (BAEN for fiction and O'Reilly for tech books). Those two have kept me too occupied to look around other publishers, and if the other publishers don't follow suit, then eh, I guess I don't need their books anyway *G*

I have a ton of ebook sites and links, so if you need anything and have trouble finding it, let me know. One of these days I should list them all and make a post.

Oooh, I would love to see that post when you have it up.

Oh! Have you checked out ebooks btw? Or has your friend paganpaul heard of it? *G* Maybe that could help a bit as well.

I'm on my way! Thank you. :)

I like the font on your journal. What is it, please?

Thank you!

I'm also glad for Lois herself, because releasing the whole back-catalog this way usually means the author is doing quite well. And, hey, Vorkosiverse on the web, any time! *sparkles*

Yes! She's a fantastic author; I like her take on many things. I feel safe in a way, even when she's handling sensitive topics (um not that her books are safe for her characters. A lot of horrible stuff happens to the people in them, but what evil there is seems to be of the characters or deliberately thought out as part of the culture, and not throwaway assumptions by the author.)
