Tor Books Is Giving Away E-Books

stoolpigeon writes "Tor Books is launching a new site and running a campaign in which they are giving away e-books (free as in beer) until the site goes live. To get in on the deal, fill out the form at their site, and each week you will receive a newsletter containing links to download a new book. The first two books are Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson followed by Old Man's War by John Scalzi. Scalzi's site says: 'My understanding is that they don't have DRM on them. Or at least, mine isn't supposed to have, and I don't think they're planning mine to be special in that regard.'"

I Love Tor!

Man, I even like that they give you an option of not sharing your info with third parties.

We give you the option of requesting that we not share personal information about you with third parties that are unrelated by common ownership with Macmillan for marketing use. Click here [mailto] to send us an e-mail with your name and e-mail address(es) if you DO NOT want us to share your personal information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing use.

I'm going to have to buy a few of their books this week instead of using the library, just to show my thanks!

Am I the only one that wondered why Tor (the anonymity network) was giving away free ebooks?

The free ebooks are part of a new steganographic exit node.

For some reason, they don't use that nickname that you're using for Convert LIT the official site.... I really can't imagine why.

But the default installation directory is C:\clit\.
Or at least was in previous versions.

I could never figure out how to use clit either. I think the trick is to just fumble around with it until something happens. A buddy of mine told me I should try it on my laptop. Never worked for me though, not enough RAM.

Yes, but to actually visit your mom I pay less than $6.

[i_liek_turtles]

It's such a bitch to use clit

Slashdot: we understand.

Dude, if your self-designed-and-built elevator to bring you from the basement to the kitchen uses more than $6 in energy to do so, you're going to have to give me your Geek License. Sorry.

Oh, but I bet they do around their office.
