The free Cook's Illustrated book offered by Amazon ...

I would like to get a nice cookbook for my Kindle. I preordered the Cook's Illustrated book, though I agree, it may not be a cook book.

Don't be tempted like me with this freebie, in the Pub. Domain:

http://www.amazon.com/Healthy-Life-Cook-Book-ed/dp/B000JMKZCC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&qid=1234815294&sr=1-1

The formatting was awful. Not even worth it!

FREE Cookbook
Every cook has key recipes they keep in rotation. In The Cook's Illustrated How-to-Cook Library you'll find them in one collection that is only available on Kindle. What any home cook wants are recipes that work--the first time and every time.

This is what is listed on the front page of the Kindle Store at Amazon - I think this, along with the description when you click the link that "due to the large amount of content, the download time may exceed 60 seconds.", indicates a full, well-indexed cookbook that they are advertising as FREE specifically for the Kindle.

I hope we will be able to "Save this page as a clipping" for individual recipes and then print them out from the computer, because I am like CS and leery of actually having the Kindle in the kitchen while cooking!

I don't know if I'll actually use it. That means, uhm, cooking.

I'm wanting to learn more cooking, so this is perfect. Hopefully better formatted than the cookbook I returned, that one was awful. The letters were gray, ragged and hard to read.

here's the link - I think - I am still learning how to do this



Doesn't look like I can take advantage of this, difficult to get some things here that don't cost an arm and two legs.

oh well -

Looks like that is a link to the hardcover edition. But the Kindle edition was still $16.47!! It was only $9.99 when I bought it several months ago.

Thanks for the link Harvey!  I couldn't find it on Amazon myself earlier (in the 2 minutes that I spent looking).
