Peter from Bitlit writes, “Best selling author Joe Hill (son of Stephen King) has made his acclaimed horror novel Heart-Shaped Box available as a free eBook bundle. For the next two weeks anybody with a hardcover or paperback is eligible for a free ebook through Bitlit.”
You’ve posted previously about Bitlit, the app that allows readers to get a free or highly discounted ebook edition of a book they own in print. In July the Vancouver start-up inked a deal with Harpercollins US for a limited number of titles. Harpercollins US is viewing the Heart-Shaped Box bundling program as a pilot — if enough readers pick-up the free eBook, additional titles and territories are likely to follow. If you’d like print + digital bundling to become mainstream, this is your chance to let publishers know (and get a free enook too).
eBooks, HEART-SHAPED BOX, and you
(Thanks, Peter!)
