How to get C4 Issue #1 for FREE

Download the PDF – Choose this format if you want to print the issue out, or read it on your desktop. This is our hand-designed PDF: it’s the prettiest format, but it doesn’t reflow well, which means it’s obnoxious on an ereader. If you’re printing it out, this PDF will fit two pages per sheet; every program does this differently, if in doubt: download Adobe Reader for free here, click File -> Print, and make your settings look like this on a Mac, or this on a PC. The links in the PDF (those gray boxes) will automatically disappear when you print.

Download the ePub – Choose this format if you want to read the anthology on an ePub-compatible ereader, like a Sony Reader, the Kobo, or the Nook. This ePub was converted by the Smashwords Meatgrinder.

Download the Mobi – Choose this format if you want to read the anthology on a Kindle. Amazon doesn’t let us distribute free books over the whispernet, so you’ve got to sideload this file by hand. This Mobi was converted by the Smashwords Meatgrinder.

(You also can find the issue at Smashwords in Palm format (pdb), plain text, and the old Sony format (LRF).)

For smartphones and iPads – We recommend the Stanza app for iPhones, iPods, and iPads. Inside Stanza, go to Catalog -> Smashwords, search for “Chamber Four,” and download it; it’s that easy. For Android phones and all devices that don’t start with “i,” we recommend the Barnes & Noble Nook app. This first issue isn’t yet available through the Nook ebookstore, but we’ll let you know when it is. If you have trouble or suggestions, please email us at info@chamberfour.com.

Paperback - Available through the Harvard Book Store. It’s $12, which isn’t free, but it’s the best we can do. (The bookstore is offering free shipping through February.)
