Amazon's Monthly Kindle Deals + ongoing Free Kindle Book features + newly discounted Kindle book alerts from the forums

JUNE 2012's 100 Kindle Deals, $1.99-$3.99

I highlight this monthly feature at or near the beginning of the month for newcomers and even oldcomers who don't know it exists.

Note: If you bookmark the page when you get there, that bookmark will work for subsequent months also.

These are Kindle books "hand-selected" by Amazon's Editors each month, and what you'll see on that special monthly-deals page are the new ones for June 2012.

FREE KINDLE BOOKS (Non-classics) for June
In the meantime, I've updated the "Temporarily-free books -- Non-classics" search results for free contemporary Kindle books for JUNE, sorted by publication-date, as of today.   These include pre-orders for June.

Here are the current Search results for free Kindle non-classics, by publication date for May.


For newcomers: the usual Kindle Daily Deal, a different link each day, takes you to the latest book picked by Amazon as the deal of the day, usually an e-book they find worthwhile, discounted for one day by anywhere between 75-80%+.  Some are available to those outside the U.S. also.

Here's another reminder that's posted every few weeks for those new and olde to this site because there are many new visitors each day here who've never seen some of the subsets of free or bargain books available for searching and who wouldn't know about the several ongoing Amazon Kindle deals.

RECENT DISCOUNTS on Kindle book (some or most, temporarily, as promos), at kdisc0605-07:

There are usually a good number of well-regarded books normally priced at $8 to $12 newly showing up at a price of $0.99 to $2.99, with alerts from other Kindle owners posted in this forum message thread.  They include higher-priced books that drop only a few dollars, but for many, that can make the difference.


As an example, the most recent message thread page has this today:
American Tempest: How the Boston Tea Party Sparked a Revolution

Kindle owner LASoundCrafter posts the following description:

' Digital List $16.00, Now 1.29

On Thursday, December 16, 1773, an estimated seven dozen men, many dressed as Indians, dumped roughly £10,000 worth of tea in Boston Harbor.  Whatever their motives at the time, they unleashed a social, political, and economic firestorm that would culminate in the Declaration of Independence two-and-a-half years later.

The Boston Tea Party provoked a reign of terror in Boston and other American cities as tea parties erupted up and down the colonies.  The turmoil stripped tens of thousands of their homes and property, and nearly 100,000 left forever in what was history's largest exodus of Americans from America.  Nonetheless, John Adams called the Boston Tea Party nothing short of "magnificent," saying that "it must have important consequences."

Combining stellar scholarship with action-packed history, Harlow Giles Unger reveals the truth behind the legendary event and examines its lasting consequence--the spawning of a new, independent nation.'

My link above will start you from June 5th, in a huge thread that started eons ago, but you can of course go backwards there as well, and Amazon will keep track of the last page you read in that message thread .

PRIME Lending Library - borrowing books
  In the forums, I've found some who did not know that with the Prime membership,  which gets you free 2-day shipping on almost all of Amazon's own items (not so much 3rd party Marketplace items),  you not only have access to about 17,000 no-add'l-cost streaming videos (counting individual TV shows in series -- note that counting SETS will bring up "only" 3,707 PRIME instant movie/tv results today), you can also borrow one Kindle book per calendar month, from a choice of over 158,000 now, without dealing with waiting times or due-dates.

  Prime's Lending Library:
     Rules;  Borrowing;
     How to Browse or search the now voluminous List
        Note:  When you borrow a Prime library book,
              you do this from your Kindle, at the Kindle's Kindle Store
                and not from the Amazon web pages.
        The BIG RED $0.00 you see on the product page for "Prime" cost
        means it's $0.00 to Borrow it, from the Kindle,
        and I wish that would be made clearer.


NOT FREE, BUT MOSTLY UNDER $1
Non-Classics under $1:
  Highly rated, under $1
  Amazon's specific mostly 99c Kindle Books page



OVER $1 BUT SPECIALLY FEATURED POPULAR BOOKS
There are also the monthly Kindle book deals, with 100 Editors' Choices priced at $1.99-$3.99, which I featured today.
