Free Kindle book

[tropicaltrader]

I just figured out how to offer my Kindle book for free for the next 5 days.
That will begin tomorrow and run until Friday.

Amazon.com: marks the Spot (MosquitoJeaux Nautical Adventure) eBook: Tim Broussard: Kindle Store


Give it a try and please let me know if unsuccessful

It sure looks like it would be free, as you say,......

but to get it I would have to agree to join Kindle Prime, which ain't free.

Looks to me that paying the $3.99 asking price might be a better value to signing up for the Prime account to get it free.

Yup, $79 a year for Kindle Prime.

Please hold off on buying. I have come across free book promotions before and at the time of checkout it pops up as zero dollars.
The promo doesn't start until tomorrow. I promised a free book and that is what I will get you.
Let me do some checking.

I think you mean Amazon Prime.

The Amazon Prime does cost $79, it gets you free 2nd day shipping on many items from Amazon, it get you free videos (streamed from a modest collection) and to "borrow" some Kindle books. This is different from his "free" version which is not a loan but a zero dollar purchase. The borrow deal is a marketing ploy to that hopefully leads you to later purchase the book and is offered on any Kindle book the publisher allows.

FWIW Generally I flee from these value added clubs, just like I flee supplemental warranties. I shop price and leave it simple. This is an exception. It actually did pay for itself within 3-4 months, but we are book addicts.

Grumpy, you are correct. Amazon Prime. The Kindle links to Amazon, which is where the "free" and "Prime" appear.
My poor choice of wording.

Looks like it is free today.

Just downloaded it for Kindle. Thanks! Your timing is perfect - I deploy tomorrow... been stocking up on diving literature to keep me sane while overseas.

I'll post a review (if able) as soon as I'm finished. Might be awhile!
