No free books noted yet, and I'm focusing later today on sorting out info on the somewhat confusing assortment of new e-Ink Kindles and new features, since I wasn't here last night. In the meantime, we do have answers to some of the questions that have come up.
Note: There have been quite a few Comments and Questions/Answers between those commenting to the New-Kindles posts the last two days. I've answered with what I know so far, while others have chimed in with interesting information. If you want to read about the things that have been brought up, see:
1. New Kindles - Intro Day (23 comments)

LATEST DISCOUNTED Kindle books (some temporarily) forum thread:
Forum-thread starter RandomizeME includes a caution that it's not a book promotion thread for authors or for posts about indies or free books either. "The thread is for discounts and price drops that many readers, especially Emily Bronte], find from publishers."
Sept. 27-29

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
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.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
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.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
