« Thread Started on Jul 22, 2009, 6:25pm »

For those of you with a Kindle you'll know that if you do a book search at Amazon by

Books ---> Kindle----> Sci/Fi (for example)price low to high

you will find a ton of free books in almost all the genres? Books like:


Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning (Kindle Edition - Oct 31, 2006) - Kindle Book
Buy: $0.00
http://www.amazon.com/Darkfever/dp/B000M....8304777&sr=8-2]

Richelle Mead's newest Swan Series book which is NOT out in paperback yet?

Thorn Queen (Dark Swan, Book 2) by Richelle Mead (Kindle Edition - Jul 20, 2009) - Kindle Book
Buy: $0.00

http://www.amazon.com/Thorn-Queen-Dark-Swan-ebook/dp/B002HRY0NM/ref=ed_oe_k


Or the naughty book

Haley's Cabin by Anne Rainey (Kindle Edition - Feb 27, 2007) - Kindle Book
Buy: $0.00

http://www.amazon.com/Haleys-Cabin/dp/B0....0ZM0ZH122K9B0VH

And so many many more, especially in the Sci/Fi, Romance and Classical literature genres. There are tons of Harlequins for free too, just in case you want something quick, easy and light while waiting for an appointment! LOL!

Link us to some of your favorite freebie Kindle books!

I've found a bunch of books for free - and have NOT listed the wide assortment of classics available. Sorry, didn't set this up as per Dianne's example because there are so many and I wanted to get the ball rolling.

Most of them are the first book in a series. Not all books are guaranteed to stay free for any length of time. Thorn Queen, from Dianne's list, is no longer free. The other ones she listed are still free.

If you find anymore, please list them, especially in the example Dianne gave.

If you've read any of these books, or other ones in the same series, what did you think?

Adrian, Laura - Kiss of Midnight
Baker, Stephen - Manifold: Time
Birmingham, John - Weapons of Choice (Axis of Time)
Brooks, Terry - Magic Kingdom For Sale
Child, Maureen - Baby Bonanza
Daniels, B J - Crime Scene at Cardwell Ranch
Fielding, Liz - The Bride's Baby
Finder, Joseph - Paranoia
Foster, Alan Dean - For Love of a Mother Not
Goodnight, Linda - A Very Special Delivery
Hart, Jillian - Homespun Bride
Hauf, Michele - Kiss Me Deadly
Hobb, Robin - Assassin's Apprentice
Howell, Morgan - Queen of Orcs: King's Property
Jackson, Brenda - Irresistible Forces
Johnson, Janice Kay - Snowbound
Kelly, Leslie - Slow Hands
Keyes, Greg - The Briar King
Kilborn, Jack - Serial
Lovelace, Merline - Stranded With a Spy
Miller, John Jackson - Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #1
Miller, John Jackson - Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #2
Moorcook, Michael - Elric: The Stealer of Souls
Napier, Susan - Price of Passion
Novik, Naomi - His Majesty's Dragon
Patterson, James - The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride
Perry, Marta - Hide in Plain Sight
Pratt, T A - Blood Engines
Robinson, Kim Stanley - Red Mars
Rolls, Elizabeth - His Lady Mistress
Smith-Ready, Jeri - The Wild's Call
Stevenson, Jennifer - The Brass Bed
Thayne, RaeAnne - Dancing In The Moonlight
Treanor, Marie - Killing Joe
Turtledove, Harry - Settling Accounts Return Engagement
Warren, Linda - Once a Cowboy
Warren, Nancy - Speed Dating


I've read Lara Adrian's Kiss of Midnight. The first book seems an awful lot like a take off on other well known series, but this one does develop it's own feel and I like the series.

The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning starting with Darkfever is excellent. Book 4 comes out later this month.

I didn't get very far into Michele Hauf's Kiss Me Deadly. Let's just say there are too many good books I've yet to read to spend anymore time on one that wasn't doing anything for me.

Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead might no longer be free, but this series is excellent and begins with Storm Born. It's worth paying for.

Are you asking if we've read those books in general and what we thought?

If so, I read Terry Brook's Magic Kingdom series, and I absolutely loved them. I never could get into his Shannara Series, but the Landover ones were wonderful, they were what got me into fantasy back in junior high.

Yep, that's what I was asking. Thanks for your input on the book and series.

I'm noticing there aren't nearly as many free books this week. They had TONS during Christmas. I guess that was just to get buyers in there to get those Kindles.

Amazon said digital books outsold paper books this holiday season, but they didn't say how many of those purchases were the freebies, which, since you get order numbers and all, I imagine count in those totals.

I just wonder if they are also available for the IPhone. I just downloaded a free app for the Amazon Kindle to my IPhone and there were a few free books. I will check it out and let you know, if interested.

I down loaded the app for my iPhone too. I jjust listed soe new books but did it on another thread (lord I can be so silly sometimes!)

The problem is, is that they don't always stay free for a long time. So make sure you post the freevbies when you see them!

It looks like some of the batch I found may be inspirational books but a couple sound really good!

Yeah I have downloaded a lot of inspirational books but that is okay. Some inspirational books can be just as entertaining. Already this morning I have bought 10 free books for my IPhone. Part of me wants the kindle just so that I can buy books and not loose shelf space and also some of those really huge books that I won't read because I see how big they are and that scares me from reading them.

I will be looking into getting the Kindle or possibly one of those E-Readers. I think I need to stop shopping for now and just read my books that I own... lol..

For anyone who's interested, Dead Witch Walking, the first in The Hollows series, if free for Kindle right now.

Kinda irks me, I paid .99 cents for it yesterday morning.

Also, here's a link to a blog that updates the freebies on assorted devices daily.

Thanks darkmatron. I downloaded Dead Witch Walking for my IPhone today. There were alot more new freebies for the Kindle. I have to remember to check for freebies every couple of days, weeks, instead of months.

Let me ask...I've found that the only way for me to find new freebies is to buy a kindle or iPhone book, how do you do it so I don't have to do that?

I don't really get what you mean? I find the freebies online, at places like that blog I posted earlier, I've never looked directly from my Kindle.

A note: all the Lemony Snickett Books but 1, 7, and 8 are free on Kindle. I don't know why those three got skipped, but you'll save a bunch if you get the 10 that are free right now.

I usually type in free and see what pops up. Sometimes I find some and other times I find none. I haven't bought any books prior to finding the free ones.
