Website Wednesday--Try BookBub for Ebooks

BookBub is a website that recently came to my attention.  You can sign up for a daily email message listing free and sale ebook deals customized by the vendors and genres of your choice.  Select as many categories as you'd like, and the newsletter you receive will be a one stop shop--no more going to each of the individual ebook stores you use to see what the latest sales are.


Here's an overview of BookBub taken from its website:

What is BookBub?
BookBub is a free email newsletter that keeps you updated about deeply discounted and free digital books. You choose the types of books you'd like to get notified about -- with categories ranging from mysteries to cookbooks -- and we send the best deals in those genres to your inbox.

BookBub doesn't actually sell books. We simply alert you by email to fantastic limited-time offers that can be purchased from retailers like Amazon's Kindle store, Barnes and Noble's Nook store, Apple's iBookstore, and others. Book publishers offer deals at these sites for promotional purposes, and our staff works with them to determine the best ones to send to our members.

BookBub features works ranging from big-name authors like Michael Connelly, Debbie Macomber, and Jodi Picoult, to independent authors who might be lesser known but whose books are getting rave reviews. Our team of book experts works to bring you the best deals on quality books that you'll love.

Calling All Ereaders

In my post from last Friday, October 12, I shared information for Nook owners about Barnes and Noble's free ebook downloads, which are available every Friday.  To take advantage of this offer, visit http://bn.com/unbound on Fridays.  If you visit this Nook blog at other times, the posts are related to other books available for purchase on the Nook.
 
Since not everyone owns a Nook, I'd like to share a source for free ebooks that all readers can access regardless of the type of ereader they use.  The website is called Feedbooks.  Use this link http://www.feedbooks.com/publicdomain to access thousands of books that are available in EPUB, Kindle and PDF formats.  The downloads are quickly and easily added to your ereader.

The Feedbooks website is well organized and sorts fiction and nonfiction books by category. There is a section with featured selections as well as sections for other popular genres.  Among the numerous fiction choices you will find classics like Alice in Wonderland and Treasure Island, and literary masterpieces like The Brothers Karamazov and The Great Gatsby.  Nonfiction titles include The Prince, Siddhartha, The Republic, and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.  Another nice feature is when you click on a particular book, other available titles by the same author are displayed, as are a selection of similar books.

While this website is sure to have wide appeal, it is particularly useful for high school and college students with school reading lists, since they are likely to find many required books here.  The website is a great one-stop location, with bestsellers and new releases also available for purchase.  I highly recommend this website to everyone interested in feeding their ereaders.
