Kindle for Samsung Free Selections

[Manabi]

Did either of you that it's stopped working for update it recently? Mine's still working and is version 4.6.0.125. Seems to be from 2014, as the copyright says 2010-2014. Maybe they pushed out an update that broke it on some devices. You can check the version number under Applications in settings, just scroll down to the Kindle for Samsung and tap on it. Version number will be at the top.

My app works fine for reading but when I click on the Samsung Book Deals to access the freebies it briefly starts to load that page then redirects to the Amazon website with a "no results found" search page. I'm on version 4.11.0.127 on a Galaxy Tab S.

I usually have trouble getting the monthly special books to load up in my Kindle for Samsung app. However, over the weekend my phone updated itself to ... Lollipop? ... and the app is working much better overall. I wasn't able to see the new offers earlier in the month -- and some months I haven't been able to get the specials to update at all -- but it popped up quickly for me today.

That said, I'm running Kindle for Samsung 4.8.2.10 on a Galaxy S4 with Android version 5.0.1. I don't know what I had before (when I had trouble.)

I just updated my Samsung Note 8 to KitKat and now it is working. Don't know if my tablet will get Lollipop. Found this link to be helpful.

I just heard back from Amazon after leaving feedback this morning:

"I'm sorry to know you're unable to access Kindle for Samsung free book offers.

I've researched and see the login page for Kindle for Samsung free book offers isn't responding due to some technical glitches and hence you and other customers are unable to access the Kindle for Samsung free book offers page.

To ensure utmost attention, I see we have already reported this issue to our technical team and they're working to fix this issue. Issues like these are usually resolved within few days and I'm sure this will be resolved very soon. Once this is fixed, you'll be able to access Kindle for Samsung free book offers. Your patience and understanding is much appreciated in this regard. "

The Samsung app and Book Deals is working fine for me this afternoon. Hopefully it's working for those who had trouble with it quitting on them.

• Final Price (A Paul Chang Mystery Book 1) by J. Gregory Smith
  Normally $4.99
  Genres: mystery, fiction

Wilmington, Delaware is one of those cities that feels more like a small town. Neighbors know one another, and businesses cater to the needs of the citizenry. But what happens when the local car salesman suffers one lost sale too many, when one more customer decides to buy from the competition because the price is too high, interest rates aren't friendly, or that shade of blue just won't work? In J. Gregory Smith's electrifying thriller, Final Price, Shamus Ryan's frustration works like a thorn under his skin until psychotic urges take over and he commits murder—serial murders, in fact—his victims chosen from prospective clients who dared to walk away. With Smith's chilling scenes of massacre, readers are pulled into the vortex of a warped mind, one man justifying heinous acts, and two detectives running a race against time, trying to solve seemingly random killings. Paul Chang, a Chinese-American homicide detective, is struggling to understand why these murders are taking place. Assisted by his neurotic partner, Nelson Rogers, Chang goes after the killer with logic, tenacity, and no small measure of fear.

Written from the perspectives of Detective Chang and Shamus Ryan, readers quickly find themselves seeing the world in unique—and often disturbing—ways they never expected. With dark humor and gritty suspense, Smith has crafted a refreshing and surprising thriller.

Wow, this month's selection really sucks (Kindle First's did too). I went with Voice of the Blood as the least objectionable pick.

[Dngrsone]

Not even going to bother.

It looks like all romance except one.

Just a reminder that this is the last day for the June selections if you haven't already picked one out.
