Free book (Kobo, nook, Kindle) - The 7th Victim [Thriller] - Page 2

magicmonster · 10-01-2010, 11:57 PM

I usually get all the free books that I can in all formats since you can read them all on a netbook. I read a LOT. When I was a teen I would read 13 books a week from the library. I have just purchased the Kindle 3 and I love it but I wish that they would build inside the Kindle a couple of leds that you can turn on to read in the dark or poor lighting. The only only stuff I really don't download is the erotica.

I am currently reading this book. I am at 38% done. I have been letting the Kindle read it to me while I was cross stitching.

You can get the lighted cover. Turn it on when you need it, slide it out of the way when you don't. Powered by the Kindle, so no extra batteries (with their weight).

All the "lighted screen" e-ink devices have a layer of glass as well -- and I really don't link the way that increases glare and decreases readability (to say nothing of the constant smudges from the touch screen).

They could just put the leds on the side above the eink display and pointing to light the screen and have an on and off in the menu or a button. I think that I will be getting the lighted case. I just wish that the light was more positionable and that they would not have the problems with the reader cracking if someone opened the reader from the back. I know that it won't be me that has the thing cracked but someone else in the family would. I enjoy the light weight and really only wanted to use a case when taking the thing out of a house.

How is it that both VELOCITY and 7TH Victim show up as priced items on Amazon.com?

Don

Coming up as $2.99 for me and I'm not even Canadian.

Because this is a two-month old listing. No longer free at Amazon, but is now free at Borders (see post about three up from here).

And the 2nd book in the series (Crush) is now free at Amazon - in the U.S. at least.

taming · 12-24-2010, 03:47 PM

It's free in Canada as well. Not free for Kobo in Canada.

Now a repeat freebie from a different publisher for a US holiday long weekend promo in the same original stores and a couple more. Linkage edited into OP.
