My main source of figuring out what’s been made available in ebook format on platforms other than Amazon has quietly disappeared so here’s some ebook news because I’m feeling motivated!

Four Way Books has made a number of their newest releases (& re-releases) available on Kindle & Kobo (they’re cheaper on Kobo, btw). Basically the latest by John Murillo, Tommye Blount, and Cynthia Cruz.

Invasive species by Marwa Helal is now available on Kobo but not on Kindle. 

Faylita Hicks’ HoodWitch now available on Kobo & on Kindle (cheaper on Kobo, btw). A lot of other Acre Books were also made available on Kobo & Kindle.

Sarabande Books finally released the ebooks they’ve been holding onto for the past couple years on KindleKoboScribd, and, to a lesser extent, Hoopla (if your library has that).

Third Man Books has some new ebooks on Kobo & Kindle.

& the Indigenous Literatures from Micronesia anthology is available on Google Play.


Free and Inexpensive Reads During Quarantine - April 24, 2020

My state isn’t reopening for a while but other states have or are planning to so not too many links this time.

  • Third Man Books - PDFs of their OOP chapbooks for $5
  • Seagull Books - this week’s new selection of free PDFs of their books
  • Scrambler Digital - Editorial Negra, If a Leaf Falls Press, and Scrambler Books have made their books PWYC
  • Project Muse - some publishers have made digital versions of their books free to read for everyone (I’d honestly thought it was just for university students), most of them until June 30th. University of Arizona Press, University of Nebraska Press, and University of Georgia Press, Wayne State University Press, and Princeton University Press are standouts. & The Ohio State University Press has a poetry collection that’s been on my TBR for ages.
