KB Book of the Day
The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Harvey,
I clicked on your link, and maybe the five free ones are gone already, but it just takes me to the home page. That would be ok, but I can't find the guide. I did a search for the title, but, oddly, there were zero results. Sad Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Harvey! I got a free copy on OmniLit.

Now that I've had time to check it out...Well Done! It is a wonderful collection of kindle info. It will come in handy, and I can see it being used just as much as the manual that comes loaded on the kindle. Again...Thanks Harvey!

I bought my copy. Just a small way to support the effort involved (and not just on the guide).

Thanks, Harvey

Uh-oh - I'll check that out.

Update: I just downloaded the PDF, and it opens fine on my PC with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Can you give me a little more info on the steps you took, and where you see that error message?

Anybody else finding problems with the PDF version of the guide? Here's the link to it:

I just downloaded the PDF file and didn't have any problems - took less than a minute.  I didn't have any problems opening or navigating through it after saving it to my PC.

Bumping this thread, for the benefit of our newer members. We published our inaugural edition of the Kindle Shopper's Guide this past November.

We just surpassed 1,000 downloads of it. It's available for free download at http://www.kindleboards.com/ksg, in either PDF or .prc format.

It's also available through the Kindle Store and OmniLit (for $1.99 in both places).
