From January 4 to 10 17, 2011, Kaplan (Kaplan Publishing) will offer electronic versions of En Route for free download.
Free downloads of Kelly’s Book, En Route (and its nearly identical other version Paramedic’s Story) and over a hundred other books, are available for free from Kaplan Books until January 17, 2011. While there were some initial problems with the web address provided by Kaplan, everything seems to be working well, currently. Download some books now and read them later.
Pick your electronic device(s) and click on the name of the device for a link to the Kaplan page for that device. The price should be displayed as $0.00 for all of the titles in this offer. Don’t just stop with downloading both versions of Kelly’s book (they are slightly different), but look at the other titles available. I included a list of the books in their medical category and a list of the books in their nursing category.
They also have a College category, which includes a lot of advanced placement and SAT preparation books. They have an Education category, which includes books on teaching (in a variety of settings) as well as other test preparation books. They have a Graduate category, which includes a bunch of GRE and MBA titles and one on getting in to pharmacy school.The final category is Legal, with books by Plato, Clarence Darrow, Oliver Wendel Holmes and books on going to law school and books on working as a lawyer.
I think that all of these devices will ask you to register, but I doubt that you will be required to prove who you are, or where you are. An address in the US is required to download these free books. For those outside of the US, there is no reason that you could not use some free mapping software, such as Google Maps to identify a US address and enter that address in the form. I do feel horribly guilty providing information that might allow someone to provide false information to obtain something that is free. OK. I’m over it.
All of the electronic bookstores should have other titles available for free, so consider browsing their free bookstores. If you decide to purchase something, you will probably need to provide them with an address that matches your credit card billing address.
There are so many books available for free, that you may be able to keep yourself entertained and educated for months, or years, just on free books. My favorite source is the public library, which uses my tax dollars to buy books for me to read and audio books for me to listen to.
There are many on line sources for out of copyright books (before 1923 in the US), such as Project Gutenberg and some of these books made into audio books by volunteer readers, such as LibriVox. The free downloads of Kelly’s book mean that you do not have to wait for the copyright to expire to get it for free. That US copyright should expire some time after we are dead, so that might interfere with enjoyment of Kelly’s book.
