Mark, on the title it says Free ebook however going to the site there is no option for getting the book for free?

  That link should take you right to the page to start reading it online. If not there should be a big Read Online button that takes. You to that page. I'll pass the feedback on to Softcover that it's not more obvious.

    Yes. Almost didn't see the drop-down for chapter navigation. Thanks.

      The table of contents is also clickable.

    I would say that reading for free online is different from offering a free eBook as the title indicates. 'Free online HTML book' would seem like a better description to me if that's the case.

      That's certainly more descriptive. I always think of those as eBooks though. In my mind I don't really see there being a difference. HTML is one, of many, eBook formats.

        There is certainly a difference, with an ebook I can just download it to my tablet, phone or whatever for online reading. > HTML is one, of many, eBook formats. While this might be true, seems to me that you are trying to do some shady marketing; to get more traffic. Personally because of this I won't be buying the book or reading it online.

        The main difference for me would be that I'd consider an eBook to be something I can download (epub, mobi, pdf etc...) and read on my Kobo offline. Can't see how I could easily do that with the online HTML version. As a comparison, I found this on Skimfeed today: http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/guide-to-kde-the-other-linux-desktop http://www.makeuseof.com/pages/guide-to-kde-the-other-linux-...
