Free Kindle Books Alert

Al, since you are using a Ipod touch why not also download the Nook version then you can get free books from Barnes & Noble and they have a pretty nice list that changes frequently .

Great idea, thanks. I'm doing it now. I've also got the Stanza reader.

Thanks for the tip. Do you check these every day?

Yes. I get an RSS Feed from here:

Pipes: Free ebooks on Kindle

to my iGoogle home page, so if anything interesting appears, I see it right away.

What would be nice would be a filter that excludes religious, romance, and perhaps very old books from the RSS feed.

Thanks again. Those book categories you mention are a PITA, but they are also like junk mail - the keep down the price of other stuff for the rest of us.
 
Or a filter for fiction vs non-fiction.

Thanks for the link, Al. I got the "Fat, Forty, Fired" one.

I set up the RSS feed. Very helpful - thanks. After a couple of days, my first reaction is ... your point on the religious, romance and very old is understated. Especially the romance.
 
See, Michael, you should just use the T-Al filter the rest of us use--he finds the good ones and posts them here for the lazy among us.

Egad if I had to comb through the bodice rippers in order to find the gems, I might would rather buy some books!

Gee, that excerpt sure sounds compelling, Al!
I think she wouldn't care for how much I spend on beer, that's for sure!
 
She's probably frown on the hoops, too.

This one appeared today. It gets good reader reviews, and the first few pages that I've read are funny.

Thanks for this referral. About 2/3 through this book and have really enjoyed. While it deals with a 40ish guy dropping out of a high pressue job to take a year of sabattical "awakening", many of his "discoveries" will resonate with the ER crowd and making the change from a life of w*rk.

I have found most of the free books are either classsics or not that great but the under $5 books are great .
