The sixteen books Harlequin promised are now available to download, but no Mobipocket (Kindle) version. When the web page first came up, the Mobi/PRC files were there for download, but it turned out that they were DRM-enabled versions and since this was a special web site set up just for the free books, Mobipocket Reader was unable to authenticate them. They also would not work on the Kindle, since the Kindle doesn't support DRM'd mobi files.
All is not lost, however. You can download the PDF version and just email them to your Kindle or use the free MobiPocket Creator Publisher program to convert them yourself, which gives you much greater control over how the books look in the Kindle homepage. Emailed PDF's, for example, always show your email address as author and have the PDF file name as the name of the book. With MobiPocket Creator, you can specify the book title, the author (last name first, so sorting works correctly) and even set up a cover page. Once you've created the book (a two click process), you can then copy the PRC file to your Kindle using the USB cable or email it to the Kindle - since it's already in the PRC format, all Amazon does is rename the file and add an AZW extension; the book title and author name will use what you specified in Creator.
And by the way - if you find the tedious FLASH based order page they set up to be so much trouble it isn't worth it, even for free books, try this link instead. All sixteen books in one place, all with links for every format available. I'd download them soon, although the rumor is that these books will remain free for the rest of the year. One final rumor - these same books will appear soon in the Sony store as free downloads (this is confirmed if you buy the Valentines's Day special edition of the Sony Reader, which also comes with several 20% off coupons for more Harlequin titles in their store) and will also appear soon in the Kindle store.
