A reminder posting every few weeks for those new (and even olde) to this siteI run a reminder every so often, as there are many new visitors each day here who've never seen some of the subsets available for searching and who wouldn't know about the several ongoing Amazon Kindle deals.
The picture used for this post is just symbolic of my discombobulation during a fun
short vacation and in getting back in step with the world of e-books.
For anyone with time, the
Kindle Community Forums are especially helpful, with Kindle owners willing to help and very knowledgeable, so that you can find an answer 24/7 quite often, worldwide.
Kindle-Edition subscribers of this blog, who get, on their Kindles,
the most-recent 25 Kindleworld blog postings at any time, who've never visited the web page, might want to stop by briefly
(Link: kindleworld.blogspot.com), to take a look at the right-hand column that holds earlier articles that can answer questions that many have had about any of the Kindle models, older or newer, plus info on how to make use of the many features not often described or publicized. Thanks for visiting, either here, or via the Kindle edition, and for the helpful comments I get to blog items or in email.
A Free city travel guide from an interesting series of shorter travel guides
The Purple Passport to Los Angeles. by Rebecca Salois, Emily Brands, and Rachel Levin, is a free Kindle book release today (Friday), though I don't know if it's for one day or two.
Los Angeles isn't one of my own destinations in the near future, but the tips on visiting Hollywood look like fun. The authors also have popular short guides with 'insider' tips to little-known places in
London, by Jennifer Garcia-Alonso with Emily Brands (both are founders) and Rebecca Salois, and in
Paris. These are $0.99 each.
FREE AND LOW-COST KINDLE BOOKS IN GENERALIf you'd like to browse for current free books (especially non-classics) or lower-cost offerings from Amazon that are available on an ongoing basis (although the books themselves go off-sale quite quickly) but which newer visitors will not have seen before, here's some light browsing:

PRIME Lending Library - borrowing books In the forums, I've found some who did not know that with the Prime membership, which gets you free 2-day shipping on almost all of Amazon's own items (not so much 3rd party Marketplace items), you not only have access to about 15,000 no-add'l-cost streaming videos, you can also borrow
one Kindle book per calendar month, from a choice of over 100,000 now, without dealing with waiting times or due-dates.
Prime's Lending Library:

How to Browse or search the now voluminous List Note: When you borrow a Prime library book,
you do this from your Kindle, at the Kindle's Kindle Store and not from the Amazon web pages.
The BIG RED $0.00 you see on the product page for "Prime" cost
means it's $0.00 to Borrow it, from the Kindle,
and I wish that would be made clearer.
NOT FREE, BUT MOSTLY UNDER $1Non-Classics under $1:

And then there's the
Kindle Daily Deal that changes each night, at around midnight, into a pumpkin and then back into a new carriage.
OVER $1 BUT SPECIALLY FEATURED POPULAR BOOKSThere are also the
monthly Kindle book deals, with 100 Editors' Choices priced at $1.99-$3.99.
