Last week we reported that Starbucks washref="http://www.everythingicafe.com/starbucks-now-giving-away-free-apps/2011/08/16/"> adding free apps to their already well known free iTunes music downloads, but if you’re anything like me, when you went to your local Starbucks they had no idea what you were talking about. According to CNET, href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-27076_3-20095466-248/starbucks-adds-apps-books-tv-shows-to-pick-of-the-week">the new cards don’t kick off officially until this week, and they’re bringing more than just apps.
Starbucks told them that starting Tuesday you’ll be able to grab a card for a free download of Shazam Encore (href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/shazam-encore/id337288863?mt=8">usually $5.99), followed next week by a game called href="http://firemint.com/spymouse/">Spy Mouse, which hasn’t officially been released yet.
The offerings will also be extended into free TV show downloads and book previews. The book situation is an interesting one. Unlike music, apps and TV shows, they’re not just allowing you to download the entire thing — they’re giving away book previews. However, to beat out the free preview of books that you get through Amazon or iBooks, the ones Starbucks will offer will be around three times as long.
