I am looking at her site right now and I don't see the book.  The book is there and you can read the first 20 pages but I do not see anyway to download it The book was Broken Open but I removed the link this morning, 01/15/09 because apparently I misunderstood and it was not a free download. Sorry for any confusion and now I think I am legally insane. |

Thank you!! I get Scott's Daily Om newsletters!! Love to read them.
Broken Open. I was busy doing something at the time, so I will have to replay it, but I did not hear that the book was free, More that Oprah was saying that you can buy the book for the Kindle & that Oprah loves her Kindle.

I seen this one on the Amazon Board Scott Blum's book "Summer’s Path" can be downloaded in PDF format for free on his website. You can also download it in MP3 format as well. http://www.scottblum.net/There is also a contest for a free kindle and books Thanks Beth! I got this one and the Tess Garritsen so thanks to you too, Maureen! Have either of you tried to convert these for your Kindle? I'm not real clear on the whole Kindle email thing but I might give it a try... |

Re: Broken Open--I was waiting to see how this was resolved before deleting posts; I'm going to go ahead and pull most of the references. If someone finds out Broken Open is free or is still free and how to get it, please repost! I'm also going to prune a few extraneous comments; trying to keep this thread limited to free book posts and mini reviews which help members make decisions about the free books. Y'all have been pretty good, so not tooo much work to do. Betsy  --had to get out my winter Moderator's hat.... Betsy |

I am offering a free .prc copy of Book I of my trilogy, When Women Were Warriors.
I took Catherine up on the free book offer (thanks!), and, when I started, before I knew it I had devoured 7 chapters. So far it seems like a good story, and it is well-written and edited. I recommend it! |

My apologies if this has been mentioned on an older thread - I haven't looked through them all. But for those interested J.A. Konrath, who writes the Jack Daniels mystery series, offers his early unpublished books free on his website. I haven't read any of them yet (aside from a couple of short stories) but I do like the Jack Daniels series. They're pdf files. http://www.jakonrath.com/freebies.htm#ebooksem (who lurks more than posts) |

Sorry, for responding late. I saw the Oprah show again on TIVO tonight. The book, Broken Open is NOT FREE as I had previously thought.
Love that hat!!!!

I bought the first one for $0.99, then read that and quickly bought the other two for $7.99 apiece. I'm about halfway through the third and have loved the entire epoch! Sharyn |

Thanks, hysterical! It's a keeper. As you all acknowledged, I'll be pruning a lot of hat comments out of here. Love all the free book postings, keep up the good work. Got colder here, had to get a new hat.... Betsy  |

Have either of you tried to convert these for your Kindle? I'm not real clear on the whole Kindle email thing but I might give it a try... [/quote] I downloaded the Mobipocket Creator free and use that to create mobi files from pdf files. It's easier for me than the emailing. http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp?Language=EN |

Mobipocket files (.mobi or .prc suffix) will work on the Kindle just as they are. You can either drag and drop the file from your computer to the Kindle using the USB cable, or you can e-mail it to your Kindle. The Manage Your Kindle page will show you the e-mail address to use (something like yourname@Kindle.com). Amazon will charge you ten cents per e-mail. Some people have reported good results from e-mailing a pdf file to their Kindle. This seems to work better on books that don't have a lot of images in them. Amazon doesn't claim to support pdf. I think it's in an experimental phase right now. |

We are all looking for Anyone who has actually been charged this. Amazon says they will charge you but so far we have been unable to find even a rumor of somebody being charged. ("We" in this instance refers to KindleBoards Members and Anyone who has ever posted on the Amazon Boards). |

There was a rumor in the summer and fall that Amazon wouldn't charge you until you had 30 emails ($3.00 worth) to avoid that exact problem. Nobody has ever fessed up to being charged the $3.00 either.
At this point I'd be ecstatic to get a charged for an email conversion...what can I say?...It's a bothersome puzzle.
