One can never be too well-read.

Just searching around Amazon.com and I came across this:  It's a collection of short stories, 5 stars with 9 reviews, and 1.99. I looked at the sample but it's all introduction written by someone other than the author, and all right-justfied. So use your judgment on this one. And for the cat lovers, this one looks really cute, and comes in at 3.96.  Edit:  Folklore inspired ghost stories for a 1.60! I'm reading the sample now and I'm liking it. |

Both because it's off topic, and also merits its own thread, I'm going to split off the posts about the Washington Post Book Review. You can now find them here: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,3032.0.html Please continue that discussion there. Keep posting those bargain books, folks, I just bought 8! So bad! Betsy  |

 3.50 I have always wanted to read this one about Mount Everest but it got lost along the way, now I get it on Kindle for a bargain.  2.80 I think this will be an eye opening read and I am very interested in it. Having recently done some touring on a trip to Charleston, SC, this book by a slave girl sounded really intriguing and I ordered it. Thanks for the tip. |

Folklore inspired ghost stories for a 1.60! I'm reading the sample now and I'm liking it. I read a sample, liked it a lot, and I've just 1-clicked. Thanks for the recommendation! |

President Barack Obama's Inaugural Address and Other Speeches and Debates. Published by MobileReference (mobi).
Author: Barack Obama
Price: $0.01 From a cursory glance, this seems REALLY nice. It has tons of speeches and other information. Whether you voted for him or not, I'd say this is definitely worth a penny.

Thanks so much CS!! What a great buy for a penny!! My son gave me a gift card for Christmas and he cannot believe how many books I've already bought with it.... this makes book 16 and I still have over 3/4 of the card left. |

They must have done that to capture those folks who wouldn't give 2 cents for anything to do with the guy. A penny or less seems to be the magic number for guaranteed clicking.

I just went through the TOC and it really does have a lot. The only speech it doesn't seem to have that I was hoping for is his victory speech in Chicago the night of the election. |

I agree with you on that Chad. Every politician has positives and negatives including the one that holds the office of President. I have found each book I read on Presidents very informative and I love the history I am learning. John Adams i is my next President book and I am looking forward to it. |

I just found this one from a tipoff in another forum. You can buy the ebook for $2 (via Paypal). It's am unsecure PDF that will be auto-mailed to you. There is a preview on the site that you can read. It sounds hilarious, so I, um, four-clicked? www.uncubicled.com |
