Apple Thoughts: Free eBooks from Barnes and Noble

"No, we're not talking about the gazillions of classic texts available from stalwart sources like Project Gutenberg or the oft-times fuzzy tomes available from Google Books. We're talking high-quality, newish E-Books from your friendly neighborhood giant behemoth of a bookseller Barnes & Noble."

This promo started about two weeks ago, and has three weeks left, ending approximately on June 20th. All you have to do is bring a Nook, or any eBook reader with the Barnes & Noble software installed (ie iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry, etc), into one of their brick and mortar stores, and you get a code for a free eBook. The books they plan to give away in no particular order are Alexander McCall Smith's "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," Jim Butcher's "Storm Front," Chris Anderson's "The Long Tail," Elizabeth Berg's "Home Safe," and Lee Child's "One Shot."
