Unfortunately, it's iOS only. Penguin is not showing any love for Android.

Doesn't let me. It gives me a page link where I can play it on my computer. How are you getting it to download to your computer? Oops - never mind. Right click. FWIW, it's a 32 kbps.

Did I overlook someone's response? Anyway, the rules state that it ends at 11:59 a.m. today (Thursday), so basically you have until noon today, if you're in the EST. Left Coasters have an additional 4 hours.

The offer period wasn't very long, though--May 22-24.

FREE -- When Dimple Met Rishi -- Sandhya Menon/ S Mathan, et al --> 10.8 hrs --> romance

Now that Dimple Shah has graduated, she's ready for a break from her family - especially from Mamma's inexplicable obsession with her finding the "Ideal Indian Husband." Ugh. But Dimple knows that her mother must respect that she isn't interested in doing that right now - otherwise she wouldn't have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers, right? Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic, so when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him - during which he'll have to woo her - he's totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself. Although their parents hadn't planned suggesting the arrangement so soon, when their kids signed up for the same summer program, they figured Why not?

FREE -- Baker's Magic -- Diane Zahler/ T Gilbert, et al --> x.x hrs --> fantasy

Bee, a young orphan, is terribly hungry when she steals a bun from a local bakery. This desperate act sets off a series of events that takes the twelve-year-old on an incredible adventure that begins with her being hired by the baker and discovering that whatever she bakes reflects her current mood. Bee’s unusual talent comes in handy as she helps her new friend Princess Anika escape the evil mage, meets up with pirates and finds a family. A magical, meaningful story and a most magnificent heroine will delight readers of all tastes!

Remember, east is least and west is best

I had written the perfect response (if I do say so myself ) to your pompous post, alleging the superiority of the west coast way of thinking to that of the good folks on the east coast. But somehow the message disappeared into cyberspace from the time that I wrote it at about 5 a.m. this morning until now. Or maybe I made the response on the wrong thread, or the wrong forum, for that matter--like I said, it was about 5 a.m.

I'm not paranoid, I'm really not, but did you have something to do with the disappearance of that message?

Anyway, if there's anything that I hate, it's having to re-do something that I've already done. So, I'm not. Besides, on some level we all know the truth of the matter anyway. Now don't we?

Sincerely,
