Tribes Alike
Cory Doctorow (of boingboing.net) has released his second novel, Eastern Standard Tribe. Once again, he is releasing it simultaneously as both a free download in various digital formats and the standard paper and ink version at a price.
Cory’s explanation for releasing a free format?
bq. 
“I don’t believe that there’s any market-demand for teasers or for “Digital Rights Management” technology: none of you woke up this morning and said, “Damn, I wish there was a way I could get less of the books I enjoy and a way I could do less with them once I have them.” My goal here is to figure out what people actually want out of electronically delivered text.”
Expand your mind and download the free version. If you like what you see, pay a few pennies for the book format.
Nevertheless, Cory is an excellent author with a rich imagination and prose to back it up.
