New "dealfinder" site--BookGorilla.com

curtw · 04-06-2013, 10:22 AM

I'm not part of their team--I got an email from Lendle this morning, pointing me to the site. Seems weird that a new one has appeared, just after the Amazon.com affiliate rules change, but maybe by setting this up as a separate site, Lendle has found a way to segregate the referrals that have the potential to kill their revenue stream.

The privacy policy seems good, "We hold your email address and information in the strictest confidence, we promise not to send spam, and will never sell or provide your email address to anyone," but I signed up with a throw-away address, just in case.

It's not owned by Lendle. I think you are right about the "why" though (segregate freebies), as it's owned by Windwalker Media (Kindle Nation Daily).

One freebee site I like (besides the toolbar I posted about) is:
http://www.bookbub.com/home/index.php Besides Amazon they have B&N Nook, Apple iBookstore, Google Play, Kobo, Smashwords, & Sony Reader Store. Some books are free and some are reduced prices. They even tell you when a deal has expired.

I've seen this site listed recently, as one that shows the entire daily free feed (as opposed to select recommendations):

http://www.freereadfeed.com/

And http://www.dailyfreebooks.com/ is still a good choice for the whole list. I used to use them a lot - back before I 'cut back.'
