Well, you’ve probably heard by now about the ongoing eReader price war. Sony hasn’t really jumped into the fray, although the Sony 600 has been reduced to $189. Anyway, I do like to check the Sony Ebook Store occasionally, since Sony tends to release different free ebooks from Amazon every now and then (check out the free books & bargains on this page). And I’m glad I did since I saw this cookbook for free download.

‘Epicurious: Get Closer to Your Food’ is available for FREE download from the Sony e-bookstore. Note that you would need the Sony Reader or the FREE desktop Sony Reader software to be able to read it.

FREE E-Book for Download – ‘The Ware Tetralogy’ by Rudy Rucker

I’d heard about Rudy Rucker before from friends of mine who love Cyberpunk fiction. Well, here’s our chance to check his writing out for FREE! Mr Rucker has made available for FREE download e-book versions of his award winning ‘The Ware Tetralogy‘ – an omnibus of his groundbreaking series [Software, Wetware, Freeware, and Realware]. The paperback version of ‘The Ware Tetralogy’ can be bought on Amazon, but you can check out if his style is to your liking first via the free e-book version.

The Ware Tetralogy‘ by Rudy Rucker is available for FREE download on his official website (in PDF and RTF formats). Or you can head on to ManyBook.Net where it is available in pretty much all the available ebook formats (i.e. Epub, Mobi, HTML, etc etc).

Book Description:

Your Guide to the 21st Century!

It starts with Software, where rebel robots bring immortality to their human creator by eating his brain. Software won the first Philip K. Dick Award.

In Wetware, the robots decide to start building people — and people get strung out on an insane new drug called merge. This cyberpunk classic garnered a second Philip K. Dick award.

By Freeware, the robots have evolved into soft plastic slugs called moldies — and some human “cheeseballs” want to have sex with them. The action redoubles when aliens begin arriving in the form of cosmic rays.

And with Realware, the humans and robots reach a higher plateau.

If you like ‘The Ware Tetralogy’, be sure to e-mail Rudy Rucker or let him know via his website! And check out his other books while you’re on his website!

Hey, the Coca-Cola Formula For Happiness weekly free MP3 download is back! Their MySpace page went on hiatus for a while, so I stopped checking.

The Coca-Cola Formula For Happiness FREE download of the week is ‘My First Kiss’ (Feat Ke$ha) by 3OH!3 from the album ‘Streets of Gold‘.

Yes, the song is mindless sexist pop, but you gotta admit that it has an ear-worm of a chorus! Besides it’s free, so just go HERE to download and just click where it says ‘Coca Cola Weekly Download’ for the free track!

Currently Listening To… Sara Bareilles’ King Of Anything

Radio’s summer jam may be Katy Perry’s California Gurls, but MY jam is Sara Bareilles’ latest single ‘King Of Anything‘. It’s off her new album ‘Kaleidoscope Heart’ that you can pre-order right now (iTunes, Amazon). She just released the official music video on iTunes – and while I don’t really like the video, I do love the catchy song. I just don’t get the video though – what does it have to do with the song? The only parts I like on the video were the spoons & forks arranged like piano notes – but again – what does that have to do with the song?!

The track itself, however, has really caught my ear – I like that it’s such an ironically angry song. She’s asking – who made you king of anything? who gave you the right to dictate to me? But the angry or sarcastic message is in contrast to the lilty and happy and frankly bubble-gum-fun tune. The contrast reminds me of Lily Allen’s angry ode to Pres. Bush (F**k You) that’s similarly gift-wrapped in a sweet tune.

What’s YOUR summer jam?

So, how many of you have bought a Kindle OR if you haven’t bought a Kindle yet, whataya waiting for? Due to a current price war – the Amazon Kindle is now being sold for the rock bottom price of $189.00 (and a refurbished unit of the Kindle is only $139.99!) I’d say now is the time to take advantage of this price war!

(If you don’t have a Kindle, don’t worry, you can still read the free books! Just download the Kindle for the PC, Kindle for the iPhone/iPod Touch, Kindle for the iPad, Kindle for BlackBerry or Kindle for Android!)

Well, time to fill your Kindle with freebies! Check out these four new novels that are FREE for download!

Tuscan Holiday‘ by Holly Chamberlin is available for FREE download on the Amazon Kindle site. Just click here to download!

Book Description:

When Elizabeth Caldwell planned a trip to Florence with her daughter, Marina, she secretly hoped for a warm, fuzzy bonding experience worthy of a Lifetime movie. But Marina — twenty-one, newly graduated, and close to her mom in many ways — has always been more the PBS type: dependable, practical, and completely in control.

Elizabeth knows Marina wants to avoid the kind of “stupid mistake” that left Elizabeth a single mother at twenty-two, and she’s bitten her tongue as Marina settles for a wealthy fiance who gives her everything she thinks she wants. After all, Elizabeth — unable to bring herself to fully commit to the man she has dated for years — is hardly an expert in romance.

Still, a lot can happen on vacation, especially in Tuscany, where every scent borne on the warm breeze inspires delight, and every view makes the heart soar. There, on streets once walked by Dante and Michaelangelo, Marina is blindsided by a gorgeous Italian named Luca who shows her how gloriously unpredictable passion can be, and Elizabeth finally lets go of the role that has defined her for so long to embrace her own uncertain future…

FREE Kindle E-book for Download – ‘The Heir’ by Paul Robertson

So, how many of you have bought a Kindle OR if you haven’t bought a Kindle yet, whataya waiting for? Due to a current price war – the Amazon Kindle is now being sold for the rock bottom price of $189.00 (and a refurbished unit of the Kindle is only $139.99!)

(If you don’t have a Kindle, don’t worry, you can still read the free books! Just download the Kindle for the PC, Kindle for the iPhone/iPod Touch, Kindle for the iPad or Kindle for BlackBerry!)

Well, time to fill your Kindle with freebies! This debut novel by Paul Robertson is billed as a thriller (with the author being compared to Grisham), but since  the publisher is Bethany House, I’m sure the novel has religious overtones. Just letting you guys know. (P.S. why don’t you browse through the Amazon Summer Reading page after you’ve downloaded this book? You might find something interesting.)

The Heir‘ by Paul Robertson is available for FREE download on the Amazon Kindle site. Just click here to download!

Book Description:

The fortune wasn’t supposed to befall him.

Jason Boyer had known all along his father’s business empire would pass to different hands. Which suited him just fine. The money was crooked and the power corrupt. But when an accident claims the old man’s life, everyone is stunned by the unveiling of the will.

With the passing of the Boyer crown, power-hungry politicians and shady business partners all try to force Boyer’s hand. Fighting the temptation of influence and riches, he simply wants to be a better man than his father — but attempting to stand for what’s right soon brings murderous consequences.

As those closest to him are endangered — and news emerges that his father’s accident may be something more sinister — Boyer finds himself fighting for his soul…and his life!
