Free Kindle Books, April 6 -- 240+ direct book links by 23 forum members

Links to TEMPORARILY-FREE KINDLE BOOKS selected April 6 are listed in this blog on a separate page for the most recent free-book links.

On some days there will be mainly pointers to free-book message threads by Kindle forum members for the day.  It depends on how much time I have.

  Click here to get the April 6 book recommendations and direct links to the Kindle books.  The ongoing Link to the most recent book links blogged: [Link: http://bit.ly/latestfreebookslist ].

The SECOND-most recent links (today's are from April 5 -- yesterday), can be found here.  [Link: http://bit.ly/latestfreebookslist2 ]



Night Swim, by Jessica Kenner, 21 customer reviews, 4.9 stars average, $0.00

The book was released Jan. 2012 and gets raves from a number of sources.


Today, Friday, there have been about 420-600 temporarily free books released, depending on the various websites' numbers.

  Forum regulars post titles and descriptions for the books that each pick as interesting for themselves, as that should help others who don't have the time to go check out hundreds each day.

  The message threads with "no chat" in them are ending tonight, and the ones "with chat" will take longer to read through.   I'll tend to link you, in the future, to the message threads "with chat" [I omit the chat from my long-listings], and you can just skim the the threads, which do have direct links also, to get the books of interest if you want them sooner.

For today, April 6, I've posted, on the new ongoing blog page, a list of 241 links to free-Kindle books chosen by 23 Kindle forum regulars as of noon today.

  There are descriptions or genre information for many of these and a few of the books are discussed.
  Again, these are recommended temporarily-free Kindle book links for Friday, April 6.


Recently discounted books
There is also a popular message thread of links to good Kindle books that have recently had the price lowered.  I haven't mentioned these lately, and I'll link you to those starting at the page showing listings March 31, 2012 and after, as earlier ones will more likely be back at regular pricing.

  As with free books, these often last for only days (sometimes only hours, on promos, though some will remain at the lower price for a longer time).  You might want to skip ahead there to catch the latest ones first and work backwards, but this gives you a starting point in a humongous list.


Friday's Kindle Daily Deal
  As usual, a reminder of the ongoing Kindle Daily Deal.  Friday's: 'The Westies'.  "In the 1970s, organized crime in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood radically changed when charismatic sociopath Jimmy Coonan took over the Irish mob..." by T.J. English, $1.99 Friday (it was $9.99 on Thursday), 3 customer reviews, 4.8 stars avg.
“Sterling social history . . . the author’s skillful reporting makes the most of his subject.” — The New Yorker
“A disquieting look at a worthwhile subject: the frailties of justice in the big city.” — The New York Time

  Many of you use an ongoing bookmark (a shortcut: amzn.to/kdailydeal ) to see the daily title.  As always these change nightly.

Playstation 3 gets Amazon Instant Video (including Prime, for Prime members)

Free Kindle books Wed. Feb 29 -- 360+ chosen by forum members from 420+ listed (some duplicates if popular) - Blog Feed was Halted to Kindle devices and blog-feeds due to long e-books listing

This is a late Feb. 29 listing blog article that Google Feeds did not post, stopping the feed flow for 4 days.

  Therefore, it's showing on top, as I edited it to remove the long free-books listing from the blog article (placing it on a separate type of blogger page) to get the feed running again, and I did it after doing two March 4 postings and Google sees it as "latest blog article"... This means the longer listings these days will not go out on feeds and people will need to click a link to see them.  But using the links requires a wifi connection anyway.

FREE KINDLE BOOKS from Joyce and Annie B's daily forum threads (or equivalent thread while Joyce takes a rest and Nospin steps in to help) of temporarily-free Kindle book alerts and forumner recommendations.

First, FREE for probably a very limited time My Kindle Fire book, by Jim Cheshire which is $0.00, for a day or 4, list price $19.99. 288 pages and "optimized for larger screens."
  27 customer reviews, 4.6 stars average


Of course, Kindle Deal of the Day, which changes at ~midnight each day... I removed Wednesday's book from this post-Google-Halt revision.

---

Also, 420+ newly and temporarily free Kindle books released Wed., 2/29/12.
  There are 360+ suggestions for consideration, in listings by forum members,
  plus a link to more forum pages of them.

As usual, I'm drawing attention to the Kindle forum members' recommendations, which are done daily, and this will give you an idea where to to find the daily threads the rest of the time, although the various threads are proliferating lately.   I plan to draw attention to these when there's time.
  Some of these are free for only a few hours or a few days, others a bit longer.
*
Double-check* the prices always.
  Lists by forum members are compiled from the several forum postings they make while plowing through the titles on websites -- All their intermittent recommendations for a day are listed together under their forum names so we can easily see sets by each in these public forum threads.

  I also include some of the duplicated picks, as they give a sense of what strikes people, in general, as worth picking up.

  If you can see that some forum members choose the types of books you like, that'll help, and if you can see that any choose the types of books you may not find as interesting, that should help too!

  If a book is free for only ONE day and is no longer free, let me know and I may be here and able to strike it off the list for today.

  Listing-types and some genre identification
  Many also specify the genre involved, which is very helpful.
  This approach has been useful for some readers, when I have the time to do them.

  Kindle-Edition subscribers (thank you for the support) should use their computers at the web page to use these free-book links, at kindleworld.blogspot.com, OR maybe read the Feb. 17 blog article on how to handle linked free-book webpages on the Kindle. (Link: bit.ly/kwt0217 )


  MORE... ( If you are reading this from the main blog page, the links and discussion of temporarily newly-free books and discounted-book forum-alerts link(s) are on a SEPARATE PAGE now. (See below.)

 This change was necessary, as the The GOOGLE BLOGGER FEED stopped being sent to KINDLE DEVICES and Google READER because the length of the list of free Kindle book title recommendations became Too Long
*****

So, to see the rest of the (latest) listing that was posted here from the Kindle forum members, click on FREE KINDLE-BOOKS LISTING: Latest blogged from Kindle forums blogged from Kindle forums.


Both the GoogleReader and Kindle-Editions subscriber feeds were halted by Google as of Feb. 29 due to excessive listing of free book titles in one post.  So this is the method I'll use for the longer ones.

Apologies for the lapse between Feb. 29 and March 4. There were two postings on March 3 and it was then that I noticed the feed had stopped BEFORE anyone subscribing to the blog saw the listing of free Kindle books released on Feb 29 and recommendations from the forums.
