I thought I picked up this book this morning, and when I got home to look at it on my Kindle it wasn't there. I couldn't find it on my list of books purchased today. All the other books were there. Did this happen to anyone else?

ProfCrash · 01-31-2011, 07:37 PM

It might have been a preorder.

robslp · 01-31-2011, 08:05 PM

Four "it's February in the UK" freebies:

Dreaming Anastasia, by Joy Preble, free for US and UK customers (UK link)

Book Description
What really happened to Anastasia Romanov?

Anastasia Romanov thought she would never feel more alone than when the gunfire started and her family began to fall around her. Surely the bullets would come for her next. But they didn't. Instead, two gnarled old hands reached for her. When she wakes up she discovers that she is in the ancient hut of the witch Baba Yaga, and that some things are worse than being dead.

In modern-day Chicago, Anne doesn't know much about Russian history. She is more concerned about getting into a good college—until the dreams start. She is somewhere else. She is someone else. And she is sharing a small room with a very old woman. The vivid dreams startle her, but not until a handsome stranger offers to explain them does she realize her life is going to change forever. She is the only one who can save Anastasia. But, Anastasia is having her own dreams…

Wading Home, by Rosalyn Story, free for US and UK customers (UK link)

Book Description
When Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, chef and widower Simon Fortier knows how he plans to face the storm--riding it out inside his long-time home in the city's Treme neighborhood, just as he has through so many storms before. But when the levees break and the city is torn apart, Simon disappears. His son, Julian, a celebrated jazz trumpeter, rushes home to a New Orleans he left years before to search for his father. As Julian crisscrosses the city, fearing the worst, he reconnects with Sylvia, Simon’s companion of many years; Parmenter, his father's erstwhile business partner and one of the most successful restaurateurs in New Orleans; and Velmyra, the woman Julian left behind when he moved to New York. Julian’s search for Simon deepens as he finds himself drawn into the troubled history of Silver Creek, the extravagantly beautiful piece of land where his father grew up, and closer once again to Velmyra. As he tries to come to grips with his father's likely fate, Julian slowly gains a deeper, richer understanding of his father and the city he loved so much, while unraveling the mysteries of Silver Creek.

Turn your sales force into profit heroes, by Peter Brook, free for UK customers only (UK link)

Book Description
There are thousands of new products and services which are launched every year. Their potential for success is massive but many simply do not succeed. The reasons for failure could be numerous - too soon to market, consumer trends changing or customer resistance, for example. People often ascribe failure to such theories, amongst many others, when every other indicator promises success. So how can businesses make their products successful? One thing's for sure, converting failure to success does not involve investing tens of thousands of pounds in professional consulting organisations to tell the sales people what to do. The real secret lies in breeding a philosophy of mentoring where line managers learn to produce exceptional performance by getting their sales team to execute the basics brilliantly and, more importantly, be passionate about what they do. In ‘Turn your sales force into profit heroes’ Peter Brook reveals a world where top performance is achieved through a motivated, passionate sales team who will stop at nothing to ensure that every product or service is given a chance to deliver its absolute potential. That true success is waiting just around the corner.

Instant MBA, by Nicholas Bate, free for UK customers only (UK link)

Book Description
The benefits of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree can be massive: fast-track career advancement, a big fat wage packet, the whole high-flying top-notch executive lifestyle. But studying for an MBA isn't something to decide to do lightly - it's a big investment to take a year or more out of your career path or commit endless week-ends to a part-time version, and for many the cost of either of these options is prohibitive. "Instant MBA" is the must-have guide to making the most of yourself and your career prospects, whether you're studying for an MBA or just out to improve your prospects while you work. Covering all the latest in MBA thinking, "Instant MBA" will impart the MBA thinking, language and models necessary to accelerate your career advancement. Designed to enable readers to think, perform and hopefully earn like a top MBA student, "Instant MBA" is packed with inspiring and expert practical advice on everything you need to know, from the original tried-and-tested business models to the newer aspects such as emotional intelligence and inspirational leadership that modern MBA courses are now embracing.

FYI, here's a new game for the Kindle. Flip It! (A Game for Kindle) by 7 Dragons ($0.99)

Quote:

Product Description
Flip It! is a game that starts out simple and gets more challenging as you play. Exercise your mind and enjoy solving various patterns and puzzles.

In Flip It! you are shown a grid of tiles that are either black or white. Clicking on a black tile will 'flip' the tile to white; clicking on a white square will 'flip' the title to black. Change all of the tiles white and you've passed that level. It may seem simple, but there's a twist: when clicking on a tile to 'flip' its color, all tiles touching the selected tile's four sides will also flip their colors. Add to that a growing number of squares and patterns per level, and you've got yourself a sophisticated brainteaser.

Try beating your old times, or completing a puzzle with fewer moves. Can you complete all levels with the fewest number of flips?

Newly free on Kindle:

Love at First Flight, by Marie Force

Book Description
What if the guy in the airplane seat next to you turned out to be the love of your life? Juliana, happy in her career as a hair stylist, is on her way to visit her boyfriend of ten years, who's working out of state. She's wondering why they're not engaged yet. When he tells her he's wondering what it might be like to make love to other women, she's devastated. Even though he tries to take it back, she doesn't want him to be wondering all his life. So they agree to take a break, and heartbroken, she goes back to Baltimore. Michael is going to his fiancee's parents' home for an engagement party he doesn't want. A state prosecutor, he's about to try the biggest case of his career, he hates the distraction, and he's having doubts about the relationship. His fiancee seems too dependent on her wealthy parents, and they seem to want to control his life. When Paige pulls a manipulative stunt at the party, he becomes so enraged that he breaks off the engagement. Juliana and Michael sat together on the plane ride from Baltimore to Florida, and discover they're on the same flight coming back. With the weekend a disaster for each of them, they bond in a two-person pity party on the plane ride home. Their friendship begins to blossom and love, too, but life is full of complications, including their exes, who don't want to let go, and when Michael's trial turns dangerous, the two must confront what they value most in life...

Just Right: The Bradfords, Book 1, by Erin Nicholas

Book Description
To save one good man, she’ll have to let her inner bad girl out to play…

ER nurse Jessica Bradford is a good girl. Okay, a reformed bad girl, but she’s done her late father proud. Now she’s one step away from landing Dr. Perfect, aka handsome, sexy, heroic Ben Torres—the hot fudge and cherry on top of her hard work scooping out a respectable life.

Ben learned the art of sacrifice from his missionary parents, but when a drunk driver he saved kills three people, he quits. To be precise, the fist he plants in the man’s face gets him suspended. And the first dish he wants on his newly empty plate is Jessica—preferably naked.

Jessica can’t believe the Ben she’s found drowning his sorrows in a bar is her knight in shining scrubs. And he won’t be pried loose until she bets 48 hours of her time in a game of pool. She loses. And the next morning she stands to lose much more.

The Chief of Staff’s recommendation for the promotion she’s been after rides on her ability to keep Ben out of trouble until things blow over.

Except “trouble” is all Ben wants. And despite herself, Jessica finds that she’s more than willing to go down with him…

Warning: Contains hot love in a store dressing room and in the front seat of a car—at the expense of a very nice strawberry patch, unfortunately—oh, and hooker boots. Can’t forget the hooker boots.
