Books in French, Italian and Spanish
April 30, 2010. From time to time I've added a few novels in French, Italian and Spanish; while the response hasn't been overwhelming, there has been enough interest to tempt me to create separate sections for these languages on an experimental basis. The new sections are shown in the left sidebar as "Foreign Language." Because these books are difficult to find, I won't be adding new ones with the same frequency as their English counterparts. If you readers know of any candidates for listing, please let me know.
Kindle for Mac
March 19, 2010. Amazon has now made available software that will enable you to read Kindle books on your Mac. To install the reader, click on the download button here
and follow the directions. To finish the process, register your email address and password with Amazon. On Amazon's "Manage Your Kindle" page, the country must be set to "United States" in order to access most of the free content. (BTW - I don't think they verify the location, but don't quote me).
Kindle for PC
November 11, 2009. As you may be aware, for some time free books have been available from Amazon for downloading to their electronic reader. Until now, the 6 billion or so people who don't own a Kindle were out of luck, but Amazon recently introduced "Kindle for PC," software which allows the user to download these same books to his computer (Windows 7, Vista and XP - the Mac version is now available. You can also download the free Kindle app from iTunes store and read books using your iPhone or iPod Touch). To install the PC reader, click on the download button here
and when prompted, click Save file. The setup file will then download. When download is complete, double click KindleForPC-installer.exe to run the install. To finish the process, register your email address and password with Amazon. On Amazon's "Manage Your Kindle" page, the country must be set to "United States" in order to access most of the free content. (BTW - I don't think they verify the location, but don't quote me). In the Launch Application box, select Amazon Kindle for PC Application. These books will be identified in the listings as "Kindle - Limited Time."
These books are free at the time I list them, but they change status fast, often in a matter of days, so if you see something that interests you, grab it now!
