Which of Brandon Sanderson's books are legally available to download for free?

[ShaShery]

Until now, I was aware of Dragonsteel Prime, The Way of Kings Prime, Aether of Night, White Sand, and Warbreaker.

However, in this thread I noticed covers for many more books.

So, which books can be legally downloaded for free, and where can I get them?

 

P.S. I'd also appreciate it if you could indicate which of these books are part of the Cosmere and which are not.

Thanks!

You posted right under the thread with your answer:

Verified Locations for Sanderson unpublished, sample and deleted scenes

• Cosmere:
  • Aether of Night is requested here
  • White Sand Prose download link is in the "welcome to the newsletter" email 
    • White Sand Versions
  • WoK Prime and Dragonsteel Prime are both free downloads on the Dragonsteel Site (See below)

Spoiler

Hope that helps

Also, Warbreaker (Cosmere) is available on Brandon's website. Not directly for download, but you can probably find a way.

Actually, you an Download Warbreaker there. Scroll down to Versions for either ePub or PDF.

Oh, thanks.

Where can I download all Mythwalker as one file?

I don't know of a download for Mythwalker - just the by-post on the website linked in Verified Locations . . .

You can poke around Brandon's website - I may have missed a download location. Those that have an ePub made it themselves (please see Pimp My Aether for how some convert a word file to epub, add cover and formatting, etc.)

By the way: the link you sent me includes a link to Mistborn Prime, but it’s only a single chapter—about 13 pages.

Yesterday, I emailed Dragonsteel and asked for Mistborn Prime. They sent me the full-length Ebook—around 550 pages.

 

I don't know if they'd want me to post this online or if they prefer everyone to email them, so I won't post it here—but maybe it's worth mentioning in that thread?

And also the fact that you can get White Sands if you sign up for Sanderson's newsletter?

Hope you were able to find everything you were looking for.

Sign up for Brandon's email newsletter to receive the original prose version of White Sand.

 

That was mentioned, thank you.

We can let @AonEne know, so he can decide if she wants to mark the books that can be requested by email or the Contact Us page.

Ene uses he/him pronouns and has for a while, just so you know.

I don't think Dragonsteel emailing out the files gives us permission to post them online, so we have not done so.

But perhaps it would be a good idea to let people know that they can request them?

OK, thanks.

I’m nearing the end of sorting through all the reading material you showed me here. It’s much more than I was familiar with  

Thank you.

I have a few questions:

1. Do we know on which planets in the Cosmere the following stories take place?

Mythwalker, The Traveler, Liar of Partinel

2. Do the deleted scenes have any significance? Can we learn new things about the Cosmere from them, even if they aren’t fully canonical?

3. Is there a well-organized place where I can download all of the Mistborn deleted scenes as a single file? On Brandon Sanderson’s website they are scattered across many different posts.
