I found this one while looking around. Havent read it yet but it looked like it might be good. Its in PDF. http://www.lulu.com/content/4342172The Retreat by Ross Malde Two psychics who work together in a metaphysical shop are drawn into intrigue when a mutual client goes missing and through their psychic talents are able to locate her. A federal agent and a forensic scientist are working on a separate case of a murdered reporter. The two pairs find each other when the cases merge into one. A string of murders, government corruption, electronic voter fraud and bio-terrorism takes members across the country, placing all four members in danger from government infiltrators, assassins and worse. All four members are forced to rely on the skills of the others for their very survival and each discovers talents they didn’t previously know they possessed. |

I discovered the other day that books from other sites are not searchable on Kindle.
On the search results page, I got a message that it couldn't search nine books. I opened the message, which took me to another screen. That screen told me that the books weren't indexed, but eventually would be. If I wanted them to be indexed now, I just had to select the book I wanted indexed. It then changed the status from "update" to "updating."
It took a while, but I eventually updated all nine books and the search feature worked. If you try to read while the books are updating, it will stop the process, but putting the K to sleep doesn't seem to interfere with the indexing.
I didn't know if y'all knew this, but I thought I would post it here anyway.

I saw this on the Amazon Kindle forum in case it hasn't been mentioned here yet. "lesley9 For those of you who, like me, recently saw Tess of the D'Ubervilles on PBS Masterpiece Classic, I'd like to put a plug in for the actual Thomas Hardy novel. It and the PBS production follow each other quite faithfully and it really added to my enjoyment of the novel subsequently. An excellent illustrated version is free at MobileRead: www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28290&highlight=thomas+hardyend quote" |

I had to read Tess in college. Maybe I'll like it better when it's not forced on me.  |

A ton of free old books just appeared on Amazon where the 'Publisher: Public Domain Books (February 26, 2005)'. I'm on page 9 of freebies (have never heard of them before thought)

I found them by sorting by price. Pages and pages and pages.... still trying to figure out exactly what books they are. I just downloaded The World's Greatest Books Volume 1. I'll try to post back later and let ya know what it is.

I hate to complain about freebies, but I've never seen so much junk in my life. And a lot of it is split into multiple downloads. Yeesh! |

I just noticed the same thing. I was able to refine the search a tiny bit by qualified 4+ stars customer rating, but still came up with pages. I wonder if this has anything to do with the possible release of Kindle 2? Has this ever happened before?

I guess the "free" means no one even proofread the titles/authors, like this:
Ali PachaCelebrated Crimes by Alexandre, 1802-1870 Dumas p?re
It seems that all the colons from the titles got removed (along with the spacing). Grrrr.
