I’ve just been informed by Sourcebooks that the free e-book offer to commemorate Jane Austen’s 235th birthday today will be extended through tomorrow, Dec. 17.
Sourcebooks apologizes for the confusion in pricing and says the books currently are available for free on iBooks and Google. Prices should be adjusted soon by Amazon and Sony, and the books will be available for free at Sourcebooks.com very soon.
**Another update: Here is information directly from Sourcebooks’ publisher and CEO about the problems they were having**

Thanks for this info Anna! I went to Amazon this morning but it didn’t appear that these titles were free.

I saw the update in my e-mail … what a nightmare for them!!! I’m sure they are really upset and having a not so good holiday right now.
