For the next two weeks, you can snag four ebooks for whatever price you want with the second Humble ebook Bundle. As always, each contribution benefits whoever you prefer, be it the authors, charity, Humble itself or a combination of the three. If you want access to all six books, as per the Humble pricing model you need to kick in a sum greater than the average $9.40 donation. For less than a few gallons of gas you'll net Wil Wheaton's Just a Geek and Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn in addition to the other four tomes shown below. The sun hasn't set on the first day of this six-pack promo and over $150K's been donated so far. Reading-on-the-beach season's half over, so get crackin'! The Last Unicorn - Peter Beagle Just a Geek - Wil Wheaton Little Brother - Cory Doctorow Boneshaker - Cherie Priest Spin - Robert Charles Wilson Shards of Honor - Lois McMaster Bujold Comments Via: Humble Mumble Source: Humble Bundle Continue reading at 'Engadget'
