Beneath a Scarlet Sky
I so recommend. Instead of spoiling it here is a goodreads.com description:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...-a-scarlet-sky


Words can not describe how good this is and I normally hate war topics. Based on a true story. A small amount was embellished and made up to fill in gaps but most of the story is completely true. Book is also cheap. $5.99 on Amazon and free on Kindle Unlimited.

I need to give it some thought. I'd just assume not encourage Amazon exclusivity.

I don't know. Harry Potter is in KU, yet is still available at Kobo and libraries.

Harry Potter is a bigger deal. Harry Potter is a KU draw.

This one is Kindle only. There is no ePub.

It is not Kindle only. It can be read on other devices by using an Amazon app. It is not available as an epub. It is not available at libraries (as far as I am aware).

kcladyz, sorry for side tracking your thread.

It sure does have a lot of reviews (on Amazon). Is this due to KU? Was it available as a Kindle First?

Saying "Kindle only" doesn't preclude the Kindle app. Books from Amazon are "Kindle" books. But you know that. Saying "Kindle only" means to me, only available to be read on a Kindle or Kindle app.

No other vendors offer the book at this time.

It is Kindle only. Without converting, it cannot be read on anything that's not an Amazon device/app.

And for back on topic, how does this compare to say Unbroken.

The author seems well known, and respected. The book is based on a true story, and is being made into a movie, which always creates attention. It looks like a book my husband would like.

Is this true? If you strip the DRM, couldn't it be read by Calibre without being converted?

I'm wondering if this should be combined with this thread. Either way, some other comments in that one.
