Neither the Target nor the Indie Bound links appear to work, alas.
@1: Thanks for the heads up–we’re looking into the issue!
Not available in Canada.
Can’t seem to get it from Amazon either. B&N only seems to have Nook.
Can we download the whole anthology? I’m not seeing any links to do so.
Never mind.
I’ve no idea why this was free on Amazon, I’m glad to pay the writers and publishers for their hard work, but I’ll take it. Thanks to all.
Thank you, I love that you offer this option!
Very generous, thank you.

None of the links allowed me to get the ebook, but I was able to find it on the Kobo app. Thanks for the suggestion, Jay.
Thanks! I did the Barnes & Noble ebook download — amd there it is! TOR is the most fun publisher of all time.
Canadian readers – if you search the title on Amazon.ca it comes up there.

@7: tor.com collections are free at least for some time, only very old editions have price right now
Got it from Amazon Canada. Thanks, Tor! So much for the rest of today’s schedule…
Here is a link to ebooks.com that has it as a drm-free epub

I double checked and both Apple iBook link and Amazon kindle link are working. Really looking forward to this great reading opportunity!
Thank you so much for making this available! I just went to Amazon and searched for Best of Tor and up it popped. Can’t wait to dig into it. :)
Downloading it now (slooowlllyyy…) from a search on Amazon Canada via Android Kindle app, must be SUPER popular! – many thanks!
Thanks! I got it for my kindle :D
