I just went by avg rating and popularity and then tried out genres/subcategories.<br /><br /> The Big6 publishers don't want to participate as it probably does not pay for them.<br /><br /> So, this means the Prime feature just won't be attractive for many.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-161338337069993492011-11-04T16:39:02.371-07:002011-11-04T16:39:02.371-07:00I took a good look at the books included in the li...I took a good look at the books included in the list in categories that interest me the most and was mostly disappointed in the chosen books. As Tom Semple pointed out, there are dozens and dozens of books that are normally priced from anywhere from free to under $2.

It could be that the Kindlestore listing for Kindle-device use is not updated yet and/or the individual product pages have not been updated for recent publisher decisions to join or in the case of 'For Time and Eternity' maybe it's because it was put on promotional, temporarily-free price on 10/30...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-55254026591716841092011-11-04T11:36:43.804-07:002011-11-04T11:36:43.804-07:005379 is very close to the number you get on Kindle...5379 is very close to the number you get on Kindle itself (5179). Thanks for that discovery!<br /><br />There are indeed some books listed by the query that are not on the OLL list, such as #1 "For Time and Eternity"—but at least that one is free for everybody.Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-49011980382933463672011-11-04T11:35:11.674-07:002011-11-04T11:35:11.674-07:00so cool! i just logged on to your blog to ask if y...so cool! i just logged on to your blog to ask if you knew how to browse the prime rentable collection at amazon, and here it is. thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
