I got this press release from Readhowyouwant:
To celebrate the New Year, ReadHowYouWant and HumanWare are expanding their Free Chapter Download Program. Each month, in addition to 20 free first chapters of contemporary titles, ReadHowYouWant will be offering 5 Classics titles in full download at www.readhowyouwant.com/humanware. These full titles will not only provide readers with more material for their DAISY readers, but will also let them try out a full length ReadHowYouWant file before purchasing other titles.
Classics titles selected for the January Free Download Program are Don Quixote by Cervantes, Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge, and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.
The 20 Free Chapter Downloads include the young adult novel Liar by Justine Larbalestier from Australian publisher Allen & Unwin. Cory Doctorow of BoingBoing praised Liar as “One of the most original, oddest, and ultimately satisfying YA books I’ve had the pleasure of reading.” What’s it about? Secrets, lies, murder, and betrayal. Micah Wilkins is a liar. Learn more by downloading the first chapter at www.readhowyouwant.com/humanware.Titles for Adults
