	Microsoft pushes eBooks for summer	By Anthony Newman, Wednesday 9 July 2003

Every week during the summer, Microsoft will release three new eBooks as a free download - in addition, a new version of Microsoft Reader with enhanced security is now available.

This week Microsoft begins a 20-week promotion on Microsoft Reader eBooks, designed for the summer vacation season. Every week, three new books will be released as a free download, totalling sixty titles in all. Participating writers include Bill Bryson and Amy Tan.

These new titles accompany a new version of Microsoft Reader, with enhanced security and what Microsoft claim is a simpler installation and activation process. This version is required to participate in the promotion.

The growing catalogue of Reader eBooks now totals more than 20,000, and Microsoft intend to publicise this further with the help of Fictionwise, a leading eBook retailer, in a joint weekly newsletter.
