Nov.29-Dec. 2: - Tuesday thru' Friday afternoon: 112 newly-free books, plus discounted ones as of 12/2 for the same time period, so far. (See page 2 of this blog entry (if you're reading this on the Home page) for details.)
The House of the Whispering Pines, by Anna Katharine Green, The new X-RAY feature for Kindle Touch:
I'm including this Kindle book because Chloe from the Kindle forums mentioned it as a free book that has the new X-ray feature, for those who now have a Kindle Touch model. Many have wondered what it is actually like, in a book. I explained some of it at The X-Ray reference tool - What it does but that doesn't do much good if you can't see it in action, and it's hard to know which of the newer Kindle books has been given this feature.
Curious Folks Ask 2: Our Fellow Creatures, Our Planet, and Beyond, by Sherry Seethaler, Published by FT Press Science, the Product Description says:
"This is the eBook version of the printed book.
Drawn from her San Diego Union-Tribune column.
"For those of us with science questions that range from the profound to the fanciful, Sherry Seethaler is here with the answers. She not only educates with this wonderful collection, she entertains." -- John Cannon, Quest editor, San Diego Union-Tribune
"If you want to learn about the 'Mpemba effect' (why hot water sometimes freezes faster than cold), if you have a burning desire to know about the biosphere we live in, if you have ever wondered about why those pesky black holes don’t swallow the universe and what’s beyond the ‘edge’ of the universe, Sherry Seethaler has a knowledgeable, well-written, and research-based answer for you..." -- Christopher Y. Wu, PhD, Associate Director of the NSF-funded Advanced Technological Education (ATE)
The following highlighted book the other day had a bad link and didn't work, so I'm reposting this one for 1.5 days
Write Good or Die, by Scott Nicholson, These are artcles on how to survive as a writer in today's world - collected by author Scott Nicholson, focusing on both the craft and the business. Advice from bestselling authors.
All proceeds benefit the non-profit organization Literacy Inc., which promotes reading among teens (although at $0.00, there won't be any for the promo deal.)
A Kindle book that costs more than $0.00 but will be well worth it for those wondering how to work this Kindle Fire thing
Love Your Kindle Fire: The ILMK Guide to Amazon's Entertablet, by Bufo Calvin, Bufo Calvin is the author of 5 other Kindle books and is very popular in the Amazon Kindle forums for his clarity and good humor in answers to questions there, which he does on his own time. He also has a best-selling Kindle-Edition blog, "I Love My Kindle."
Calvin goes through each menu option, step by step, explaining what each does. A lot of the book is in conversational Question and Answer format, in which he interviews himself with the types of questions he has seen most, from the Kindle forums and at his blog, but most important, with some very thorough answers.
(As this is included in an evening blog posting Friday, it'll also be used for a Saturday listing of free book titles released (if even more are released Saturday) and highlighted finds at the top.
