Here are two free ebooks, out today: Free by Chris Anderson is a book about the new economics of the Internet age, and how businesses and content-creators have to learn to deal with this. If the name sounds familiar it’s because it is: Mr. Anderson’s the same person who wrote about the Long Tail in 2006, and whose ideas are consistently relevant to what we do here at Novelr. There’s a catch however: thus far Free is only available online, at Scribd, or as an unabridged audiobook download at Audible. I’ll update you if he ever makes a pdf file available for free download. The second ebook is The New Liberal Arts, available as a pdf file from Snarkmarket. Take a look at that one, it’s got a pretty interesting business model wrapped around it.
