NEWLY FREE AND DISCOUNTED KINDLE BOOKS DISCOVERED BY FORUM MEMBERS ABC Studios is offering a free Kindle edition of the Pilot Episode Script of their tv series Revenge, which they've been featuring pretty heavily in early ads. I don't know anything about it except that I recognized, from the series Brothers and Sisters, the actress who plays the key character. Disney is the publisher and will release it on Sept. 1.
The Original Avatar script was made available for download in PDF format by the FoxScreenings website during the release of the film. At the time, I decided it'd be good to have it in Kindle format. Some who saw the movie after its initial run might be interested in it, so I'll include it here with the 'Revenge' first-episode script just made available by ABC for free (but it's a pre-order).
The Avatar script is said to include deleted scenes. The PDF ABC Studios made available to the world is not really readable in vertical/Portrait orientation on a 6" screen but quite readable in the rotated-to-Landscape mode (possible with Kindle 2's June 2010 and on all Kindle 3's and DX's.
For those who'd prefer to have a Kindle-format copy so that they can use the inline dictionary and also be able to do Kindle searches of the book, increase/decrease the fonts, make notes, or have it read to them semi-robotically, etc., click here to get the Kindle-compatible file.
Subscribers to the Kindle-edition of the blog can also click on the link to download the file directly to the Kindle.
Here's the original PDF file also, for those who want to check the converted copy against it (there are formatting differences), for download to a computer (the Kindle doesn't accept PDF downloads) and then a USB cable transfer to the kindle OR send it to your Kindle via Amazon servers.
If you have a Kindle that doesn't have WiFi, you'd use 3G; the cost of sending this PDF via 3G to your Kindle is 15 cents but you need a [you]@kindle.com address on the Amazon Manage Your Kindle page. Here's a How-to for that.
If you do have WiFi also, you can send it to your Kindle for free by sending it to [you]@free.kindle.com once you've made your Kindle direct-send address "[you]@kindle.com" ... Sorry that is so confusing.

Whatever I Please Short Adult Romance
Author: CJ Hawk
Genre: Adult Romance
DESCRIPTION: How does one successful career woman survive the hard economic times of reinventing her career. By taking a step away from it all and breathing in the salty ocean air while letting herself relax. It pays to have helped those in her past to be successful, now it is time to call upon those to help her get back on track. Turquoise Suthers played well in the high stakes career of recruiting until the economy took her career down with it. The last thing she was looking for at this resort was a lover who might possibly help her career. What she found was; the strength to call upon old friends and to do the honorable grown up approach to what might possibly be a disastrous situation. Mature women play the game of love far differently than young and inexperienced women, perhaps that is why they just might get their man in the end after all.

I Was A Brooding Teenage Vampire
Author: Ronelle D. Porter
Genre: Parodies - Vampire
DESCRIPTION: My name is Demitri Mitchell, and I'm a vampire. I also happen to be addicted to blood, and have a history of being addicted to amphetamines as well as most mainline narcotics (it was the 80's.) Some people would say that I have a sex-addiction, but I think all those years of casual sex and prostitution was just a means to feed my ravenous hunger for blood; it's the chicken or the egg, to be honest. I want to tell you all about my journey; it's a story of love, of self-expression, romance, desire, and my quest to avoid it all. This is the very brief and very vulgar tale of how I was a brooding teenage vampire.

The Good Neighbor: Short Sweet Erotica Story / Flash Fiction Sex
Author: Joe Brewster
Genre: Erotica
DESCRIPTION: This is a short sweet highly unlikely story about a relationship that develops between an older gentleman and a young woman neighbor. It boils down to a 'what if' scenario. What if you- a young woman-- knew you could trust the kindly older man across the hall to be your personal spa attendant without being an old pervert about it? You could work up a good sweat while going for a good long run and listening to your eye-pod knowing that you have a cold drink and a warm bath waiting for you when finish. The guy seems only too pleased just having you over everyday just for the company. It makes him feel good being able to do these smalls things for you. He feels useful and needed. How terrible is that? The idea might even pop into your head that a guy that caring and sensitive and attentive to your needs might be good at other, more intimate, things--- like kneeling between your thighs and ---? There's only one way to find out. It's actually a sweet story that barely qualifies as erotica. Some might call it corny. I always liked it. Just a light-hearted ditty really.

Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.

Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
