Yeah no slot for a card. I sprung for the 32GB, but even with several movies and all of my books I have tons of room left.

Amazon doesn't price match tablets, does it? Lookie what Staples has.

No they don't only on select items. My problem reading on the Fire is it has that weird glossy glass that makes text look odd in the dark. It can be done but the view angle on the KFHD2 isn't perfect like it was on the KFV1. The N7.2 has none of this problem.

I have the 16GB and tons of space after 500 books and all my essential apps. The Kindle app takes up 1.5GB of space!

Yeah, I could have gone with the 16GB and been very happy. Especially since I have yet to actually watch any of the movies I have downloaded on it. They're all ones I got a free digital copy of when I purchased the DVDs. But maybe one day I will get around to watching films on it. And if I ever need to have an entire series or something I've got the space

Uhhh..okay, so this is not a freebie nor a bargain. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but this is one of the few threads I visit the most, so I thought I should post it here.

If anyone of you read romantic suspense, please consider buying a copy of Razing Kayne (Amazon | Kobo) by Julieanne Reeves. She passed away suddenly, leaving behind 2 little children. I learned about the sad news on Pamela Clare's FB and Kaylea Cross' FB.

I purchased the book quite a while ago, but I haven't read it yet. The reviews are not bad, though. So, yeah, if there's anyone who's interested in romantic suspense, perhaps you can give it a try and help the family.

Sad news. I imagine sharing this information - minus the exhortation to purchase the books - would be an appropriate share in MR's "News" forum.

Awww I have not heard of her but reading her bio it sounds like she was one amazing lady. I added it to my wish list as those authors know Romantic Suspense and it sounds interesting.

Thanks. But I don't really want to start a new thread, because I've never done it before. Besides, I'd just like to share it with the romance community.

I've just visited her FB page, and THIS is the original post that released the sad news.

Thanks, Blossom. I thought it sounds interesting, too. That's why I bought it back then.

Here's a repeat freebie from Amazon: Twin Willows by Kay Cornelius, published by HarperTorch, 1999. It was last on offer for free in February, but if you missed it then, now is your chance.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F4AQ8BG

[BelleZora]

Free today at Amazon from USA Today Best Selling Author Lisa Mondello - A new contemporary western romance series: Dakota Hearts, #1 in the series.

Also free at Kobo. Not free at Smashwords and B&N.

She needed to risk the truth to get a second chance...

Poppy Erickson had spent the year wondering how all their lives might have been different after hearing the deathbed confession of her childhood friend. She'd left South Dakota years ago because she couldn't bear to watch the man she loved loving another woman. But now she knows the truth. She'll keep the promise she made to a friend, but will Logan understand when he learns the truth? More important, can they again recapture the passion that had been between them all those years ago?

He needed to face the past to get the love of a woman he thought he'd lost..

Everyone knows that the Dakotas didn't get the name Badlands for nothing. Harsh weather and rough living are a way of life. But single dad, Logan McKinnon, had seen more than his share of bad times after the death of his wife a year ago. The last thing he needs is Poppy Erickson, an old flame and his late wife's best friend, showing up unannounced to help after devastating floods nearly washed away their hometown. With no place to stay in town, he has no choice but to offer her a bed at his house. But can he live under the same roof with a woman he'd once loved passionately without feeling he's betraying his late wife?

Here is a self-published freebie by Nikki Jefford, an author I have not read, but I'm posting it because two of my well-read granddaughters liked her Spellbound series. It has good reviews.

Aurora Sky (Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter #1): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AEGD5XY

Her blood is toxic to vampires.

If there is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it's to get off the iceberg she calls home. Being kissed before she graduates wouldn't hurt either.

Then a near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Government agents step in and save Aurora's life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter in Alaska. Basically she's a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type, which sends a vampire into temporary paralysis right before she has to finish the job...by hand.

Now Aurora's only friends are groupies of the undead and the only boy she can think about may very well be a vampire.

(Mature YA/New Adult series. Contains mild language, violence, sexual situations . . . and blood sucking.)

Free [N/A?], Very high rating GR : Lost and Found - Nicole Williams

blurb:There’s complicated. And there’s Rowen Sterling.

After numbing pain for the past five years with boys, alcohol, and all-around apathy, she finds herself on a Greyhound bus to nowhere Montana the summer after she graduates high school. Her mom agreed to front the bill to Rowen’s dream art school only if Rowen proves she can work hard and stay out of trouble at Willow Springs Ranch. Cooking breakfast at the crack of dawn for a couple dozen ranch hands and mucking out horse stalls are the last things in the world Rowen wants to spend her summer doing.

Until Jesse Walker saunters into her life wearing a pair of painted-on jeans, a cowboy hat, and a grin that makes something in her chest she’d thought was frozen go boom-boom. Jesse’s like no one else, and certainly nothing like her. He’s the bright and shiny to her dark and jaded.

Rowen knows there’s no happily-ever-after for the golden boy and the rebel girl—happily-right-now is a stretch—so she tries to forget and ignore the boy who makes her feel things she’s not sure she’s ready to feel. But the more she pushes him away, the closer he seems to get. The more she convinces herself she doesn’t care, the harder she falls.

When her dark secrets refuse to stay locked behind the walls she’s kept up for years, Rowen realizes it’s not just everyone else she needs to be honest with. It’s herself.

Wallbanger (Cocktail #1) by Alice Clayton - $2.99
Kindle | Google

Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a Kitchen Aid mixer to die for, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O. Adding insult to O-less, she also has an oversexed neighbor with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Every moan, spank, and—was that a meow?—punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has—yep, you guessed it—no O. Enter Simon Parker. When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has…well…mixed results. Because with walls this

I gave this one a 4, it started out a lot stronger and funnier than it finished up.

I'm glad you posted it here because this is the only thread at MR I've been checking lately.

I bought the book because it sounds interesting, has a gorgeous cover and great reviews on goodreads. Wonder if the other books in the series were finished enough to be released.

Looks like both her website and facebook page are taken down.
