Day against DRM - discounted books

Apparently May 4th is an International Day against DRM. To celebrate this, Angry Robot Books are discounting all their titles by 50%, using the code DRMFREE.

Angry Robot does SF / horror / steampunk / urban fantasy type stuff. They're an actual publisher, with a fairly small selection of books but as far as I can tell all pretty good quality. (It's not like Smashwords or Fictionwise which are pretty much just marketplaces, for example.) It's all DRM free epubs – today's special offer is a half price deal, the rest of the time they are DRM free anyway, just more expensive. I bought two recently published, quite well reputed books for £5 in the UK; don't know what their American prices are like.

I wasn't made aware of this until half the Day against DRM had gone by, but hopefully those of you west of here will still have a few hours left to use the offer, if you're interested!

Oh god. I had no idea bout this site / publisher which looks like it's perfect for me. I only have 2 hours (where I live) until the end of the day. How will I choose books in only two hours, how!?

Thanks for the heads up :)
