Free ebooks for the Kindle & other ereaders – 6/11/2011 no comments
There is another long list of free ebooks that have been liberated from their price tags. Below are some and tomorrow I’ll post more.
Barnes & Noble is currently giving away Stupid History: Tales of Stupidity, Strangeness, and Mythconceptions Throughout the Ages by Leland Gregory. This ebook is currently $5.99 at the Kindle Store.
There are currently 67 enhanced ebooks from Vook that are free at the Kindle Store. These include a lot of golf tutorials, but there are many other subjects as well — various history titles, exorcise routines, photography how-tos and even a Vook on brewing beer at home. These will be best served on a tablet or other device that can display video.

The King of Lies by John Hart (4 stars/146 reviews) has been reduced to $2.99 at the Kindle Store, Barnes & Noble and Kobofor a limited time. This edition of the thriller also includes an excerpt from the author’s newest book, Iron House, which will be released on July 12.
Overview of The King of Lies:
John Hart creates a literary thriller that is as suspenseful as it is poignant, a riveting murder mystery layered beneath the southern drawl of a humble North Carolina lawyer. When Work Pickens finds his father murdered, the investigation pushes a repressed family history to the surface and he sees his own carefully constructed façade begin to crack.
Work’s troubled sister, her combative girlfriend, his gold digging socialite wife, and an unrequited lifelong love join a cast of small town characters that create no shortage of drama in this extraordinary, fast-paced suspense novel.
Hart’s mastery of prose and plot belie his newcomer status as he explores the true heart of a man. An illuminating anatomy of a murder and the ripple effect it produces within a family and a community, The King of Lies is a stunning debut.
