And they're gone!

At 10:13, all ten ebooks have been claimed.  Actually, they were all claimed by 10:06; it's just taken me some time to get over here.

Check your email within the next half-hour to find out if you're one of the lucky winners!

Thank you all for playing, and for the pleasant notes.  This was a charming way to start the work day.

So not fair for those of us on the west coast. Obviously a case of you snooze you lose. :-( Not that I'm blaming you, just the contest (whose post has gone away so I don't know any details) in general.

Yup. Following the link, upon awakening, got the "404 error. Page not found" message. Used bookmark to find blog, and here we are.
Well, thank you for running it anyway.
I'll just need to Buy All The Things! (that I don't already have.)

Hi, so glad I am not the only regular reader who didn't know what was happening! I read the blog daily but still don't know what was offered. Glad you had a great response from other areas, though, and great comments. I have everything, I think, sometimes in several formats so it is OK, and hopefully people won who didn't have all the ebooks. :)

For those who are wondering. The baenebooks mobile site needs beta testers, and in order to get a range of testers, Baen gave some authors 10 coupons to give away to their readers. Sharon and Steve and Sarah Hoyt both did giveaways on their blogs. I haven't tried to track down other authors to see how they are handling this largesse. Of course, in Japan, when I got up this morning, most of the explosions had already gone off, and people were trying to figure out what the smoke is that's still eddying around.

Incidentally, the beta site is at baenebooks.com/mobile and over on Baen's Bar, in the Baen Mobile forum, the developer is encouraging feedback.

Isn't there a line in the Code about Timing is Everything? Or is that one of the Turtle's aphorisms?
