Great Free ePub Books from Copia
www.thecopia.com is giving way a ton (well, at least a dozen) great books.
Among the offers: The Borgias (book that inspired the series) In the Heat of the Night God Save the Mark (Edgar winner from Donald Westlake) Bang the Drum Slowly Shoeless Joe Mute Witness (inspired Bullitt) The House of Doctor Edwards (Spellbound) The wheel spins(The Lady Vanishes) There's more, too. You can either use Copia's free eReader or sideload to Nook and other devices. |

Interesting that it's a 'beta' site. Wonder who is behind it and where they intend to go.
No question that the MR viewers bogged down their site today. cheers |

Three of the four freebies added today won't download at all (and can't be direct "buy" clicked, but must be added via the cart, or it asks for payment details). Apparently Copia is "working on it", but I really detest having to use their reader app (but at least it just drops the epubs to the hard drive, rather than tossing them into a single file, as Kobo does).

Not sure what you mean about Kobo. All the books I've gotten there can be downloaded by simply using ADE. |

It appears to me that three of the new books are in PDF format:
Mute Witness (inspired Bullitt) The House of Doctor Edwards (Spellbound) The wheel spins(The Lady Vanishes) |

I'm using their software, it's not asking me for a log-in.
ETA: OK, I went to their web page instead. Now I have a cart. ETA: Great, so now I "own" them, but they won't download. Last edited by Catlady; 07-08-2011 at 11:42 AM. |

In the lower left corner there should be a box with your user name and a link below it that says "Sign in to Copia".

They won't download for me, either. I've tried several times over the past couple of days and keep getting "Sync not available. Please try again later."

Copia is aware that the books cannot be downloaded and they are working on it, as per this response they sent me:
