Actually I like it here. I really only spend time here in the Kindle forum and the Lounge. Bad girl I know... but life is pretty whacky right now, and you have to pick your addictions carefully!

Sporadic I appreciate the list. It's nice to have a list of books that are natively supported by the Kindle without conversion. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. (I already check out the freebies section, but this will be very useful to me).

Can we get a moderator to move this thread to where it really belongs?
desertgrandma is 100% correct where it belongs. |

The moderators did discuss this thread. Since this thread is a list of free books with links to the Kindle store and the OP put it here we decided it is fine in this section.
If someone wants to create a generic post that lists the same books in the freebees section you are welcome to do that also. BOb |

Soul Identity - can't believe it's a penny
I was surprised to see Dennis is offering his book for a one cent! I thought this was a good read and I know that a draft screenplay has been written based on the book for potential big screen production.
Anyway, I give it 4 of 5 stars. For this price, I don't know why anyone wouldn't pick this up. Here's my full review. ************************* As the old saying goes, "The Eyes are the window to the Soul". In Dennis Batchelder's Soul Identity, this is more than a figure of speech. Rather, it is the premise behind a twenty-six hundred year old organization tasked with finding, recording, and managing their clients' soul lines. Similar to a finger print, a persons eyes, specifically their iris patterns is unique - at least while they are alive. At some future point after their death, their iris pattern may repeat in a new body. It is this unique pattern that identifies that this new body carries the same soul line as the previous body. But in the present day, the organization - aptly named "Soul Identity" - is finding it harder and harder to match soul lines - especially the company overseer souls - even though technology has made it easier to capture, read, catalogue and compare iris patterns. Could it be this same technology is actually preventing this company from its mission? Is someone using this technology against them? In comes Scott Waverly, a security and technology expert hired to find the answers and save "Soul Identity" and its millions of soul lines from disappearing forever. Though skeptical of the company's claims, Waverly quickly finds himself in the middle of a philosophical, technological, and life threatening affair which has him jet setting around the world to save the company as well as his life. In his debut novel, Dennis Batchelder has created a fast paced barnstormer similar to the likes of Lincoln Child in novels such as Death Match and Utopia. Though taking on the questions of immortality through the possible reincarnation of souls, Batchelder, similar to his fictional "Soul Identity" overseer Archibald Morgan, does not delve too deeply into the philosophical and spiritual implications of this "technology". Rather, the novel relies on the wonderfully written dialogue and suspenseful situations the protagonists must overcome to solve the mystery behind who is trying to destroy "Soul Identity" and why. This novel is a very engaging read and I would encourage anyone who enjoys novels such as those written by Lincoln Child, to consider purchasing Soul Identity - you are sure to enjoy it. The book ends with a few teaser preview chapters from the sequel which looks equally good if not better. I, for one, am anxiously awaiting the release of Batchelder's next book. |

Also, when this thread is moved, a link can be left here to jump over to the moved thread giving the best of both worlds. But just leaving it here is a bad idea. The idea behind Deals, Freebies, and Resources was to post deals, freebies, or resources. And this post beings there since it deals with freebies. So please move it where it belongs. |

Thanks for making this list. It makes it a bit easier for those of us with only kindles to quickly find the links to the new freebies.

My own two cents.
I appreciate this post. I like the idea of a single posting that has links to all the free books currently available for the Kindle that aren't public domain books, and I'd prefer the posting was a sticky. Personally, I'd prefer to see this post in the Deals and Freebies section, but that's just me. I'd also like to see a label indicating a book's genre -- I'm not into the harlequin erotica stuff. Once again, just my two cents. |
