FREE E-BOOK: Robin Hobb, SHAMAN'S CROSSING
Eos is 10 years old! To kick-off our yearlong anniversary party, we're giving away free e-books! Every two months for 2008, we'll give away a new free e-book at www.harpercollinsebooks.com/eos10.
We're thrilled to announce the inaugural title:
Book One of the Soldier Son trilogy, SHAMAN'S CROSSING tells the story of Nevare Burvelle, destined from birth to be a soldier.
The second son of a newly anointed nobleman, he must endure the rigors of military training at the elite King's Cavella Academy--and survive the hatred, cruelty, and derision of his aristocratic classmates--before joining the King of Gernia's brutal campaign of territorial expansion. The life chosen for him will be fraught with hardship, for he must ultimately face a forest-dwelling folk who will not submit easily to a king's tyranny. And they possess an ancient magic their would-be conquerors have long discounted...a powerful sorcery that threatens to claim Nevare Burvelle's soul and devastate his world once the Dark Evening brings the carnival to Old Thares.
FOREST MAGE and RENEGADE'S MAGIC are out now.

Thank Ms. Hobb and EOS. What a wonderful gift to your readers. I purchased the book previously and it sits on my keeper shelf proudly along with the Farseerer and Tawny Man Trilogies.
Keep up the great work.

The link to the free bookdownload doesn't work, I think you might be missing an http:// in your link.
I even tried to fix it to be just:
http://www.harpercollinsebooks.com/eos10/
but it too raises a server error saying the URL is invalid.

This book is available as a purchase for the EBookwise 1150 (the reader I own). Would there be any possibility of being able to get Shaman's Crossing as a free download for that format?

I read about this free download on the Amazon Daily Blog. Unfortunately, it appears that you don't support the Amazon Kindle, a great ereader, since you only have DRMed formats of books available. As Amazon does have a DRM format and this book is available from the Kindle Store on Amazon.com, is there any chance of getting a free download compatible with my Kindle?
