This I think faking the internet connection wouldn't be much different than just downloading the free book from whatever site I can find it on, as in both ways I'd be getting the book at a place where I'm not allowed to get it.

The August book is available: The Just City by Jo Walton. Another good one!
(I needed to sign up again even though I had already signed up and downloaded last month's book.) |

I was able to download the EPUB, but when I try the MOBI I get a web page instead of the proper file. Aarrgh. |

I'm getting very small file sizes -- epub= 590kb & mobi= 22kb. I downloaded it twice and still got the same results.
Any suggestions? |

The ePub size is correct (at least, it's an actual ePub with all the contents in there, as far as I can tell). The 22 kb Mobi is actually the webpage that jhowell mentioned, and is something we're just going to have to wait for the Tor people to fix.

I had no problems confirming my already-signed-up email.
I didn't even bother trying to download the MOBI -- I always prefer EPUB to MOBI, since I can convert directly to AZW3 without losing formatting info. |

I had no trouble when I downloaded the Kindle version. Just 1.75 mb in total.
