Quick note: Free Kindle book search-link options for July for contemporary, non-classics + some less-known bargain pages - Updated 7/2/14 - 2:50pm

July 2, 2014 - This is just a quick note to let you know that the free Kindle book search options in the reference section (right-column of blog) are updated for July.

I've been unexpectedly trapped in a hospital for a bit, all is fixed, and I'm back to add to the blog again in the next few days while most of you will or should be holidaying.  A lot to catch up on.

Reminders of what is available - some less-known links for avid bargain Kindle book hunters

    June 2014  July 2014.
    Also, all currently free non-classics sorted by:
    Publication Date   Bestselling    High ratings


    Highly rated, under $1


    In addition, Amazon still quietly carries: "Mostly 99c Kindle Books" page, which is a different Amazon listing from the one for highly rated Kindle books under $1.


    Amazon Top 100   (Also, UK-only)

    Amazon's own Limited Time Free Promos.


Two ongoing pages you may want to bookmark
1. Free Kindle Non-Classics - includes the above bargain links among other ones
2. KINDLE SUPPORT info
  This has an "Often Asked" section which has a lot of good info in it. Updated 7/2/14, 2:50pm

March's Monthly 100 Kindle Books for $3.99 or less - Editors' Choices + Free non-classics by publication date + discounted-book alerts

MARCH 2013's 100 Kindle Books deal, for $3.99 or less


I highlight the monthly deal at or near the beginning of the month for those who don't know about it or might not remember.

  This group of 100 Kindle books range from $1.99 to $3.99, as usual for this monthly deal, and are "hand-selected" by Amazon's Editors each month.

What you'll see on that special monthly-deals page (UK version is here) are new for March 2013.

Amazon's current discounts on accessories for Kindle e-Reader and Kindle Fire
  1. Up to 30% on covers for Kindle eReaders
  2. Up to 50% on covers for Kindle Fire (Gen 2) and Kindle Fire HD tablets


Amazon's Ongoing Special Deals
  1. Select Outlet deals
  2. Goldbox and Lightning deals

Today's Goldbox Deal of the day is maybe useful with a tablet:
Sony MDR-XB600 Extra Bass Headphones, at 60% off: "...hard-hitting hooks with 40mm drivers engineered for extended bass response. Newly developed urethane ear pads [for] comfort and noise isolation" with "dual-folding, swivel cup design"


FREE KINDLE BOOKS (Non-classics) for March (and February)
I've updated the "Temporarily-free books -- Non-classics" search results to show free contemporary Kindle books for MARCH, sorted by publication-date, as of today, March 1, 2013.  There are only a few shown on the first day of any month, and these include pre-orders due that month.  As ever, on the first day of the month, most of these are listed as "free preview" of whatever chapters chosen, some are short stories, and a few not-entire-family-safe titles may show up.

  Here, also, are the current Search results for still free Kindle non-classics, by publication date during the last month (February).


The Kindle Daily Deal page
for any given day now shows a lot of books since it includes children's books, a couple of genre-specific deals, and the monthly daily deals as well.


Discounted / Price Dropped Kindle eBooks II - the ongoing Kindle Forum message thread
  There is an ongoing message thread in which Kindle owners share information on recent drops in pricing on specific Kindle books, often with some added info by the person posting it.

  Here's a link to the thread, starting at a Feb. 25 posting that includes some books still on sale Mar. 1.
  Still discounted heavily today are highly-rated books from the larger publishers .   These tend to be very short-term discounts.
  One still on sale at $1.99 is Nexus, by Ramez Naam, very positively reviewed by mainstream reviewers (Wired, Wall St. Journal, Booklist, Publishers Weekly) and highly rated in 151 customer reviews that average 4.8 of 5 stars.

  The forum topic link I gave is to a specific day to start, in this case, 2/25, as mentioned, but you can look at previous days or keep up with ongoing alerts after that, as Amazon keeps track of the last message# that you read, so that you can start from there next time.  Most of the better deals seem around $1.99-$4.99 but there are many larger-publishing house deals included that tend to end in a DAY, so you'd need to double-check the current pricing of ANY Kindle books that interest you to see if the discounts are still active.

  Again, prices are discounted for only a very short time, too often, and are promos, and that's another reason to watch the list.

The MyHabit area
Last month, there was a special January discount feature but I forgot to include the link.
MyHabit is a clothing section of the store that tends to be above my spend-grade, but the focus is on "coveted brands" and the free membership includes discounts up to 75% off, with both free and return shipping in the U.S., with international shipping to 50+ countries.
 Each sale item has an expiration date of about one day to ~3 days.


AmazonLocal
Amazon has been expanding "Special Offers" in that if you don't want them on a lock screen but still want to check what's available from time to time, you can do that via a computer or mobile web browser or via an app.
