I’m totally not paying attention to the world around me lately. Didn’t have a clue about Read an eBook Week (missed it last year), and apparently jumped the gun with my giveaway.
BUT I still have something to give you. Peculiar Pages, an imprint of B10 Mediaworx, is giving away The Fob Bible (PDF only for now, but crap, it’s 76MB of heavily illustrated awesomeness!) this week.
What is The Fob Bible*, you ask?

Trust me, you want this. Ain’t a speck of preachin’ going on, neither.

I found a great new PDF reader if anybody’s interested. It’s supposed to be lighter software, and it has worked well for me. Here’s where I found it (at CNET Download):
