ONGOING FREE PLUS DISCOUNTED KINDLE BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY FORUM MEMBERS
UPDATES
This blog entry regularly changes the forum-topic-links below to update to the most recent forum recommendations, especially since the message threads are often difficult to find. The dates will be in Red to make them easier to see.
NOTABLE DISCOUNTED BOOKS
Am regularly pointing you, with this changing blog entry, to the latest messages on Kindle-customer recommendations for newly-found discounted Kindle books, discounted Kindle books, 6/15-6/18 and 6/19-6/21 Those who didn’t read the earlier, larger batch of recommendations can start from June 13 instead (which is from a week ago).
That’ll give you a starting point to check the latest, and while you’re reading the message threads (there are links to the discounted Kindle books in them), Kindle customers will be adding new recommendations there for ones they’ve found while you’re reading the thread. I can check these daily and give a good starting point for the day.
And of course, some reading here will just follow that thread daily.
On a couple of posts there, I saw that people had seen a couple of books drop even further right after they bought them, partly due to people noting that the two were lower at B&N’s sales, and Amazon has given (with no problem, they say) $credits on those further drops in that short time.
THE KINDLE COMMUNITY FORUM’S NEW-FREE-BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY OTHER CUSTOMERS
(Mainly contemporary books)
These are almost daily, and I’ll link you to these also, so you can quickly see the latest that other Kindle owners have found from various sources. Here are: June 15, June 16, June 17, June 18, June 20, June 20 evening, June 21
June 17 – Note: 60+ new temporarily free books are reported by Happy Reader “Joyce” today – almost all of them the Vook How-to-Guides, including one on how to get Jennifer Anniston’s abs 🙂
June 18 – Note: Joyce reports and links 37 newly free books today.
Customer “A” at the forum reminds everyone that the series includes some “enhanced” books with video and says those are readable only on iPads and iPhone apps and not on the Kindle e-reader and they tend to have file sizes of 100+ megs (an average regular Kindle book is less than 1 meg).
Luckily, all Vook books today are regular books. 🙂
June 20 – Note: Today’s, at only 3 AM in the morning, barely beginning a Monday, there are only 5 out at the time, 4 are business-related, one is about “Brains: How They Seem to Work.” There’ll undoubtedly be more during the day in this forum thread for Monday.
June 20 – Note: These were from Monday evening: “10 books are offered this evening. “Last Apprentice Series” by Joseph Delany, published byHarper-Collins. Please Note: Pre-Order for August 2, 2011 ** (Genre: Dark Fantasy).
Some have pointed out that sometimes preorders are posted first and the price posted afterward. During that window, the $0.00 amount is confirmed and apparently stays (but if the price changed people would be notified). Confirmations were being received by most and are discussed.
June 21 – Just a few books today.
The main (speedy) finder is Happy Reader “Joyce”, and she lists them each day and is the originator of that regular topic thread.
While you’re reading the latest there, other customers and Happy Reader “Joyce” tend to find more that day.
ONGOING, NEW FREE KINDLE BOOKS – MANY TEMPORARILY FREE (mostly contemporary)
On the usual free Kindle books, the links in the box below will give you most of them with several sorting methods, and the listings are usually limited to eliminate previews, chapters-only, and single short stories to save people time (although some of the lists linked to in the box will point to the most popular free Kindle books and you’ll see some short-stories there), so they are doable when short on time.
Some of the free contemporary Kindle books are growing by 30 to 70 free books per day and it’s not practical to list them all, and I must say, too many free ones are not of the highest potential as seen in the writing just for the product descriptions!), but you can see those books in lists via the links-box at the bottom of this and other blog articles here and can decide quickly — with Amazon summary product info — which might be worth trying.

Those who’re looking for a drop in the price of a specific ebook might want to check out sites such as ereader IQ:

You can set the Kindle book you want monitored and the price drop that triggers notification. You can even use the link below to watch for when a print book acquires a Kindle edition:
http://www.ereaderiq.com/kindlewatch/
Quite handy. I’m using it to watch for discounts on Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. You can also import your Amazon Wish list.
It’s a good way to catch one-day sales you’d otherwise miss consulting these long and dreary lists.
