FREE (and bargain) books for the Kindle - January 2011
It's a new month and there are new freebies. Several from last month are still free, so be sure to check the previous thread, HERE.
This is the sticky thread for free and bargain books in the Kindle store for January 2011. Rather than try to update the first post with a list of all the books, which is continually changing, instead new books will be posted at the end of the thread and each month there will be a new thread, letting the old one drop off the top of the forum. Anyone can post to the thread, but there are a few rules:

Soul Identity, by Dennis Batchelde, is free in the US Kindle store.
Book Description You can't take it with you...but what if you could? Most people believe their souls outlive their bodies. Most people would find an organization that tracks their souls into the future and passes on their banked money and memories compelling. Scott Waverly isn't like most people. He spends his days finding and fixing computer security holes. And Scott is skeptical of his new client's claim that they have been calculating and tracking soul identities for almost twenty-six hundred years. Are they running a freaky cult? Or a sophisticated con job? Scott needs to save Soul Identity from an insider attack. Along the way, he discovers the importance of the bridges connecting people's lives. Avempartha , by Michael J. Sullivan, is free in the US Kindle store. Book Description The secret is in the tower. The problem is the beast. The answer is two thieves. When a destitute young woman hires Royce and Hadrian to help save her remote village from nocturnal attacks, they are once more drawn into the schemes of the wizard Esrahaddon. While Royce struggles to breech the secrets of an ancient elven tower, Hadrian attempts to rally the villagers to defend themselves against the unseen killer. Once more, what begins with the simple theft of a sword places the two thieves at the center of a firestorm — but this time the outcome could change the future of Elan. |

Saw this tip at Dailycheapreads: The Christian publisher Abingdon Press is holding a $2.39 sale on many of their Kindle ebooks (the same books are discounted to $2.99 at B&N Nook).
Here's a search link for all the $2.39 books on Amazon (many were free in the past) |

The one on Kindle appears to have been updated twice (once in 61 and again for the edition on sale now). He wrote a new intro and added a section on rent control (that he rewrote apparently in the latest edition).

Tick Tock by James Patterson with Michael Ledwidge is up for free pre-order.
This has a different cover from Tick Tock - Free Preview: The First 28 Chapters, so maybe the new free pre-order will be the full book instead of just a preview, but who knows? Quote:
