Hey, Sony readers, its available for free at (whatever) too!

Now, the other ebook reader device owners are checking to see if their formats are offering it too.

end result? Everyone wins. Because the books are on an inclusive site, representing all readers.

Okay.......here we have a "Kindle Only" thread. Why would the owner of any other brand care about Kindle free book?

So, the "Lipstick" book is a free download for the Kindle, and for the other readers as well, but they won't know it because................

Its on a Kindle thread.
Again, this thread is meant to be a master list.

So the scenario that's probably going to happen 99.9% of the time is:

Kindle owner notices that _______ book is free, posts a thread about it in the Freebie section.

I see thread, add _______ to list.

or

I notice ________ is no longer free and remove it from the list.

Sony users and people with other readers continue life as normal.

Kindle users get a list of all the free stuff available without having to dig through multiple threads or troll Amazon's bestseller list.
