Don't know if most of you already know or use this, but a while back, I found this service called Bookbub (https://www.bookbub.com/home/). It is free, and once registered, it emails me daily a list of the "deals" at Amazon, Kobo, and Apple iBooks (these deals don't last very long, from what I can see).

Via this, I've found some good digital books that I really enjoyed reading (e.g. The Mistborn Trilogy which was free for a time at Amazon.com -- a value of $24 CDN -- I really enjoyed that series). Not all books that I've found for free via this site are great, of course, and many are the first of a series, but still, there are some good catches there, and a nice way to try out books at no cost (or little cost). And I still buy certain specific books, but still, this is, to me, a good additional resources for books.

I don't know if it works in other countries, but it works for me in Canada and presumably also in the US.

It most definitely works in the U.S. I've gotten some enjoyable books from it as well. Lately they've been offering books 2 or 3, but as you said, it's a great way to try some things out!
