If you are a college student, planning on heading to college, or just an education nut, Kaplan has a deal for you — free eBooks!

In fact, you can get more than 130 of them free until Jan. 10.

These are the books that can help you or your kids pass the SATs, GMATS and GREs. They are so many other books besides test preparation ones though. Click here for a list of all the books included in the promotion.

They can be downloaded to you Sony eReader, iOS device, Nook  or home computer.

We all know college education doesn’t come cheap, so why not save a few bucks beforehand.

    Why was this article published on Jan 4th and telling us that these books are free until Jan 1st?

  • Wendy E.

    The website states Jan 4-10. There was just a type-o in the article.

  • T Bone

    My Grandfather said “Be cautious of anything claiming to be free”.

    Thanks Wendy and Shawna. That’s right, this deal goes until Jan. 10th. Thanks for reading!

    First of all , this comment sections sucks. I typed a comment & just because I mistyped the email it not only rejected my comment – it ERASED it so I had to start again.

    Your article states available to download to a home computer, yet the website does NOT offer that option.

  • Huck

    First things first. Read completely and fully comprehend before you click. The typo has been corrected and it states click here for a list of the books being offered. You have to fill out information before you can download anything.
    Read, Write, and understand the English language.
    Thanks WCCO for the heads up, much appreciated…..

    Who or what is Kaplan? Couldn’t find anything through the link.

    I also noticed that you can’t download these books to a home computer.

    • Tim

      Downloading the Sony eReader software will allow you to download the books to your computer.

  • cadita

    @Huck – What is wrong with you? It appears that YOU are the one failing to read. Those first comments pre-dated the correction of the typos. And, no one mentioned the list of books being an issue…so, your insults are not only off-color, they are off-base.
