Post your info about free books here. For the February 2009 free book thread, see here:

http://www.kboards.com/index.php/topic,4674.0.html

Authors (and their fans): if your book is free for a limited run (or longer ), you're welcome to post it once a month in this thread! You're also welcome to start a separate thread in the Book Corner and bump it occasionally to promote your book, to post news and to talk to your fans! Thanks!

Okie dokey...Beekeeper's Apprentice is available as a free pdf download. Once clicking on the icon you will have to sign up for the newsletter which you can unsubscribe from. The file will be emailed to you.

And after you fill out the required form to get Beekeeper's Apprentice, if you get a message that says:

"Subscriber already Available in Database...

Subscriber Updated Successfully."

don't worry, you'll still get the email.   I was afraid that not being "new" to Macmillan might mess things up somehow, but it didn't, I still got it.  Just FYI....

I used this program to combine it all: http://www.pdfsam.org/

I'm going to do it this way too. Because I'm too lazy to figure out how to do it another way! Really, the first file is just "stuff?" I'm still waiting for the emails. Got one 15 minutes ago then nothing.

The email has a picture of the book in it. When you click on that, your computer should automatically download a zip file, which contains the 4 pdf files.

WAY too much work in addition to being forced to get on an email list. Free but no bargain it seems.

I agree LDB. I do not like it when I am forced into giving my email address, etc just to get a free book. I get enough spam as it is without adding more to the pile.

I agree as well, sometimes free is not really free.

 

[geoffthomas]

You folks have summed it up already.
Sometimes you get what you paid for.
I might just try to do it just to use the Mobi software again, though.

Even though I'm the one who posted this offer, I have to agree with you.

What a pain.

BTW, for anyone worrying about providing their e-mail addys, just do what I do: create a secondary account for "spam" stuff like this. Heck, I even use it to sign up for message boards, e-mail lists, etc. because spambots can get to it through those avenues as well.

Thanks. I got them both. Now I have 3 Bibles on my Kindle. I'll figure out which one I like the best and dump the other two.

 

[Lizzarddance]

Same here but I'm keeping mine. I like to compare to see how they differ to understand the origin better.

My novel, Waiting For Spring, is available for free (PDF file download) here:

Just wanted to say I read these when I first got my Kindle and I enjoyed them. Fun, easy read. Popcorn for the brain.

You mean you don't have a "throw away" email address??!!! One you can use just for all of these worhtless, gotta enter your email address places?

Thanks for posting these. I'll be keeping them both on my Kindle!

I totally agree with you, Geoff. I have learned so much from everyone here and got so many inexpensive and free books. My K2 library is ever growing. There is much kindness and generosity overflowing here. I now have three Bibles as well and value them all. Thanks so much for the links.  Donna
