Free Book Roundup

Repeats from Christian publisher:
These managed to make Amazon's Limited Time Offers list, but all look self-published. The only other thing they seem to have in common is a high digital list price ($9-$10):

Today's backlist/small press/indie, totally free, books for everyone on Kindle. These are are not likely to be free for long, so double check prices before one-clicking (genres are my best guess), as most of them go back up after a day or two (sometimes less), at which point most of them become eligible for the Kindle Lending Library. Those searching the freebies on their own at Amazon may have noticed an unusually high number of titles that were tripping along the edge of erotica into porn (ok, some of them had clearly tripped over the edge and fallen into the pit). It seems that Smashwords has had to eject certain categories of erotica from the catalog, due to enforcement from PayPal. As a result, it seems, many of those authors have moved their books to Amazon or taken the plunge into the KDP Select program, in order to get their 5 days free. One side effect is that you might not want to let any of your small children search the free lists for a while (the titles along are pretty explicit) or do searches yourself from any work computer. I don't guarantee there won't be some erotica in the lists here from time to time, but I think we can skip the ones where the titles themselves are XXX rated.
