Deal of the Day
The very first Anita Blake book by Laurell K. Hamilton, Guilty Pleasures back when this series was still good *cough* is currently $2.99 at Amazon, for anyone who might be interested!
This also reminds me that Anita Blake is one of several series I've found "bundled" at the libraries I use for ebook borrowing. If it's available to you, library ( Read more... ) -
Downloading LotR fan fiction for Kindle reading
Mostly I use FanFictionDownloader, and really appreciate the link to the Calibre plugin. And a friend recently pointed me at flagfic.com, which covers even more sites.
But that friend was wishing there was something that supported the LotR fanfic sites she uses. Does anyone know of any such?

The CK-12 Foundation has added a number of new free textbooks (38 in all now) to the Kindle store -- they are up to 38 now.

A few Kindle Fire questions
I have a birthday coming up and I'm thinking about getting/asking for a Kindle Fire. I love my Kindle Keyboard more then I ever expected to, and while the lure of the iPad is strong, I don't honestly have enough need to justify the price tag. But I've got several trips planned this year and it would be nice to have a device larger then my cell ( Read more... ) -
It's finally here!
Harry Potter is available for Kindle! You have to buy it from the Pottermore shop (Pottermore still isn't open for us non-beta folk yet, but there is a link on the page at Pottermore that takes you to the shop). It's a little bit of a time consuming process (you have to buy the book(s) on Pottermore, link your Amazon account, and then send the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
when you search for a book and it comes up as an 'audible audio edition', (this is probably a stupid question, i hope i'm allowed to ask it) does it come with the text also? i've noticed that a lot of books lately that i've searched for are these aae's and i don't fancy the non-privacy of audible books ( Read more... ) -
Free ebooks
I don't know for sure if this has been posted here, but in case it hasn't (or for distracted people like myself!), I'll post.
I found a blog that's all links to free ebooks - not pirated copies, but legit copies.
Books on the KnobIt seems like it's mostly paranormal romance, but I've found a book about B29 bombers, some mysteries... I think the ( Read more... )
