Right, that's the holding place for me, too - but only after I download them using my Kindle app on my computer.

I wouldn't have thought to check, but I had those 3 emails from Amazon telling me that they had been sent to me.

I'm using a MacPro, by the way, if that makes any difference.

Kick off summer reading by choosing any or all of the 3 books below:

WAR BRIDES
by Helen Bryan


An international bestseller with over one million readers.

With war threatening to spread from Europe to England, the sleepy village of Crowmarsh Priors settles into a new sort of normal: Evacuees from London are billeted in local homes. Nightly air raids become grimly mundane. The tightening vice of rationing curtails every comfort. Men leave to fight and die. And five women forge an unlikely bond of friendship that will change their lives forever.

Alice Osbourne, the stolid daughter of the late vicar, is reeling from the news that Richard Fairfax broke their engagement to marry Evangeline Fontaine, an American girl from the Deep South. Evangeline’s arrival causes a stir in the village—but not the chaos that would ensue if they knew her motives for being there. Scrappy Elsie Pigeon is among the poor of London who see the evacuations as a chance to escape a life of destitution. Another new arrival is Tanni Zayman, a young Jewish girl who fled the horrors of Europe and now waits with her newborn son, certain that the rest of her family is safe and bound to show up any day. And then there’s Frances Falconleigh, a madcap, fearless debutante whose father is determined to keep her in the countryside and out of the papers.

As the war and its relentless hardships intensify around them, the same struggles that threaten to rip apart their lives also bring the five closer together. They draw strength from one another to defeat formidable enemies—hunger, falling bombs, the looming threat of a Nazi invasion, and a traitor in their midst—and find remarkable strength within themselves to help their friends. Theirs is a war-forged loyalty that will outlast the fiercest battle and endure years and distance.

When four of the women return to Crowmarsh Priors for a VE Day celebration fifty years later, television cameras focus on the heartwarming story of these old women as war brides of a bygone age, but miss the more newsworthy angle. The women’s mission is not to commemorate or remember—they’ve returned to settle a score and avenge one of their own.


FOLLOW YOU HOME
by Mark Edwards


The page-turning psychological thriller from the author of #1 bestsellers The Magpies and Because She Loves Me.

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime, a final adventure before settling down. But after a perfect start, an encounter with a young couple on a night train forces Daniel and Laura to cut their dream trip short and flee home.

Back in London, Daniel and Laura vow never to talk about what happened that night. But as they try to fit into their old lives again, they realise they are in terrible danger—and that their nightmare is just beginning…


TIMEBOUND (The Chronos Files Book 1)
by Rysa Walker


2013 Winner — Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award — Grand Prize and Young Adult Fiction Winner

When Kate Pierce-Keller’s grandmother gives her a strange blue medallion and speaks of time travel, sixteen-year-old Kate assumes the old woman is delusional. But it all becomes horrifyingly real when a murder in the past destroys the foundation of Kate’s present-day life. Suddenly, that medallion is the only thing protecting Kate from blinking out of existence.

Kate learns that the 1893 killing is part of something much more sinister, and her genetic ability to time travel makes Kate the only one who can fix the future. Risking everything, she travels back in time to the Chicago World’s Fair to try to prevent the murder and the chain of events that follows.

Changing the timeline comes with a personal cost—if Kate succeeds, the boy she loves will have no memory of her existence. And regardless of her motives, does Kate have the right to manipulate the fate of the entire world?

I can't speak for DreamWriter, but Amazon's pages for all three books have a note about the promo:



It's near the top, below the book blurb section and the section that tells book length/etc. The "Learn More" just goes to the link DreamWriter provided.

Thanks, Manabi. I see it, now. Unfortunately, clicking that link on any of the three books' pages takes me to a page that erroneously reads:

This is all very strange, isn't it?

--- Regardless, a big thank you to the OP for making me aware of these. They're on my Kindle, just waiting to be read.

That's where I first saw the promo, too. It's still there.

Sorry that so many of you have been unable to get the free e-books. I didn't have any difficulty buying them from the link in my OP right before I started this thread. I wasn't given the opportunity to select which device to send them to at the time of purchase, but they were all available in my cloud library (All Items) in Kindle for Android app, Fire HD6, and Paperwhite.

It is also prominent on the Kindle Ebooks page (first of four or five on the scroller ad there). As well as the email that was sent out and the mention on the book pages.

Still no sign of the books for me, so I'll have to suffer thru chat with support.

Do you have "Kindle for PC"? I use it for Kindle downloads from Amazon and it is usually problem free. After books are on my PC, I add them to calibre for device flexibility.

Amazon makes it easy with the "Manage Your Content and Devices" menu.

Avoid the pain of a chat!

For those of us the promo messed up on, the books simply aren't in our accounts, but Amazon thinks they are. They're basically Schrödinger's e-books at this point. So Kindle for PC doesn't help either for us, chat's the only option. (Or give up, that's an option too. )
