Sept 4 - morning, 23 books; Setp 4 - afternoon (same link), 5 more books from VOOK (total 28)
More on the Audio/Video books and their effect/non-effect on a Kindle in another coming blog entry. See the end of the book listing (on the 2nd page with "MORE" clicked) to see the additional 5 e-books today.

28 FREE Offers by VOOK ...
** Please Note: 10 of today's free offers are Kindle Edition with Audio/Video.
Audio/Video content only available for iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch devices. **
[Andrys' note1 - Happy Reader "Joyce" adds, re the Audio-Video books, boldface/italics mine:
"I have only tried on a few occasions to download a few of the Vook Audio-Video on my iPAD, and they did work very well. However, I have had others tell me that they have downloaded on their Kindles and get the text fine, but no Audio-Video."]
[Andrys' note2: Books on the Knob adds that if sent to a Kindle, these books will NOT include audio/video and will not be the large sizes cited, and I'll add that those e-books were authored with the audio/video attachments as important to the enhanced ebook but -- while free -- may be attractive to download to your computer as they will come in handy when there's an Amazon tablet.]
[Andrys' note3: So, today there are 15 offers that were authored without a need for accompanying video/audio.]

Andrys,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you might want to note that the Daily Deal is only good for American customers. I've tried several times now over the past week but always get the message that the title is not available in my region.
Today I checked in at http://www.kindlepost.com/ and noted a link for International customers in the header, clicked it and, sure enough, all Daily Deal posts were gone.
Still, many if not all the free, 99 cents, and low priced titles do work.
Happy reading...
Owen,
ReplyDeleteMy empathy on that.
Thanks for the suggestion! - Am doing that starting this afternoon!
Glad to read about some of the other highlighted ones. I think the UK is among those who can get temporarily-free ones, but I don't know. I do know I cannot see the prices of UK Kindlestore offerings and that I cannot, as a U.S. resident, buy from the UK Kindlestore.
Andrys,
ReplyDelete...but wait, turns out I am *wron.* or partly wrong. I thought I try again today (Monday) and the title was available.
So, your caveat may need adjusting to something like (May be U.S. only, unfortunately) or (Sometimes U.S. only, unfortunately).
Meanwhile, the kindlepost.com for "international" readers is as stated, i.e. minus the daily discounted books.
Happy reading....
