Zero Dollar Books (at Amazon)
I saw this on LifeHacker today and thought I'd share:

http://ctrlq.org/amazon/ebooks/

The original LifeHacker post is here:

http://lifehacker.com/5908830/zero-d...lable-for-free

Basically, it's a website that aggregates all the current best-selling free Kindle books. It displays the books in a grid with nice and crisp cover images, so those of us who judge books by their cover (guilty!) can easily determine what appeals (or doesn't) to them.

It updates once an hour and has an RSS feed if you're into that.

Handy site. Bookmarked. Thanks. There were a few on there that I hadn't seen listed on the forum.

Not that I could find. I went to the main site (ctrlq.org) and it doesn't even have a link to the Amazon.com tool, so it's hard to say exactly what they do have.

Should note that many of these cover images are NSFW in some environments.

Good point.

Although I don't know about "many" - at present I'd say only Taken by Selena Kitt falls into the NSFW category. But I suppose if you have a very strict workplace or very sensitive co-workers you could add Already Home, Irish Moon and Zylan Captive to that list.

Awesome site. Just downloaded 11 freebies...on top of 21 I downloaded the other day. And believe it or not, I do *not* download every freebie! There are many I don't grab!

Where I work, Sports Illustrated is off-limits. So, for me, there are many. From home, I count 13 at the moment.

And no, I don't work for a church.

Ooooh, the w is work. I stay at home with our girls and home-school them, so I've seen "nsfk" before [Not Suitable For Kids] if someone has a video link or something sensitive they're discussing on parenting or home schooling forums, but couldn't figure out the "w".

Thank you for the link!

I'm guessing it's that the women on/in SI can be scantily clad like Cosmo is often covered at the grocery store?

Weird. Do you have some kind of Ad Blocking software that's stopping them from showing? That's the only thing I can think of that may be causing a problem.

A while back there was a bit of a scandal when an exec at the National Science Foundation was caught watching a lot of porn on office computers.
The title of the Reader's Digest blurb about it was:

NSF(W)

I thought that was very clever.

Well guess what. Today they showed up. I do have an ad blocker but I had disabled it on that site. I even tried with IE and Chrome which do not have ad blockers and yesterday they would not show up, today they do.

Gremlins I guess.
