Read an E-Book Week: Free SF books, romances and others from sponsors—complete with iPhone availability

By David Rothman

We’re on the second day of Read an E-book Week.

And the Stanza/Lexcycle people have come through with an iPhone-related catalog pointing to a bunch of SF books, romances and others from the Week’s sponsoring writers and publishers.

Freebies show up from Smashwords, All Romance eBooks, M.D. Benoit, Rae Lori, Cory Doctorow, Twilight Times Books, Zumaya Publications, Steve Jordan Books and the Week’s founder, Rita Toews.

Bottom line: Get ‘em on your iPhone or iPod Touch before they vanish. Freebies may also be available for machines besides the iPhone/Touch’s. Check the sites of the Week’s partners.
