Download these free award finalist ebooks from Tor.com

Now free on the US version of Apple’s “iBooks” store: Tor.com’s four major award finalists from 2009, nicely done up as elegant ePub files for your iPad (and, once iOS 4 ships on June 21, your iPhone).

• “Eros, Philia, Agape” by Rachel Swirsky, Hugo and Locus Award finalist
• “A Memory of Wind” by Rachel Swirsky, Nebula Award finalist
• “First Flight” by Mary Robinette Kowal, Locus Award finalist
• “Overtime” by Charles Stross, Hugo Award finalist

All four are also available for free in Amazon’s Kindle Store and the Sony Reader store; they’ll appear soon in some other channels as well. They’ll stay free until after the Hugo Awards are announced at Aussiecon 4 in Melbourne, Australia, over Labor Day Weekend.

"First Flight" is a really well-done time travel story and I look forward to reading the others. If you, like me, don't own a Kindle you can download the Windows version here (6.2MB). Get them before they expire on September 6, 2010!
