[...] Want a free ebook copy of a Kurt Vonnegut novel? Free ebook site Wowio has five of them, along with lots of other copyrighted fiction, literature, comics, and other works. The site offers the wares through sponsorships, and only limits your downloads to three books per day, 30 per month. The two caveats are a somewhat limited selection (as you might expect) and that the site’s U.S.-only due to licensing restrictions. Otherwise, it’s not a bad place to check for fresh content for your PDA, cell phone or computer screen. For more free page-turners, try the top ten sites for free books and the 100 best free Project Gutenberg books. Wowio [via MakeUseOf.com] [...]

Wowio is very shortsighted. They refuse to issue books by indie writers, relying on the stuff you can get anywhere. Don’t they realise that the really new, fresh, exciting, and ground-breaking work is elsewhere, i.e. in good part online?
