01.06.10Let other Kindle customers help you find cheap booksIt can be frustrating to look for good free books on the Amazon Kindle store, because there's no way to filter out all the useless stuff. I'm talking about the public domain freebies, which you can get more easily and permanently via Feedbooks, as well as those "dollar dreadfuls"--those books that are in public domain but have been repackaged for profit, in varying degrees of quality, by some opportunist. One way to bypass this morass is to look to the Listmania! lists that other Amazon Kindle customers assemble. One such person is Rachel M. Suffill, who maintains two useful lists ...

01.04.10Do You Like Audiobooks? Here’s How To Save $100 On A KindleI'm borderline developmentally disabled when it comes to learning through listening, so I've never warmed up to audiobooks.

10.30.09Writer Publishes New Novel Directly To Readers For $1[caption id="attachment_552" align="alignnone" width="480" caption=""][/caption] Self-publishing isn't a new concept, but with every new development in e-publishing it becomes a more viable option for some writers. Here's a guy who's bypassing both vanity-presses and mainstream publishers by getting readers to pitch in and pay him directly for a book before he's even written published it. Call it a reader-funded advance. Robin Sloan is a blogger who previously published a short story, Mr. Penumbra's Twenty-Four-Hour Book Store, on the Kindle (you can buy it here for 99 cents). I stumbled across him on Kickstarter, a website where people can post ideas for projects ...

02.24.09Used Kindle prices drop to $200 rangeIf you've been wanting to pick up your own Kindle, or you want to grab a second one for that family member who won't leave yours alone, the used Kindle market is finally turning in your favor. SmartMoney notes that as Kindle 2 devices are released, owners of the first generation device who choose to upgrade are finally selling theirs online through sites like eBay (boo) and CraigsList (hooray).
