UPDATE- apparently there were some glitches getting everything ready so this update announcement was provided this morning:

Let me tell you know that iBooks and Google books currently has everything correct.

Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Sony are currently working to get their prices adjusted. They should be correct shortly.  Sourcebooks.com will also have our books and the illustrated versions available for free within the next hour!

Because of this confusion we want to celebrate Jane Austen’s birthday an extra day! This offer will be good tomorrow as well.

So - Here is your chance to pick up some of the ORIGINAL works and some of the Inspired works.  Actually - I haven't read any of the inspired works myself so I will be downloading tonight too. :o)
Happy Birthday Jane and Thank you Sourcebooks!
