A few have warnings to only view on a Kindle Fire -- read my notes below on the first title, as this warning has some merit, but doesn't seem to be entirely applicable, anymore.
The Cooking Light Gluten-Free Cookbook: Simple Food Solutions for Everyday Meals ($3.99 Kindle), has been on my wishlist for some time. Now that it's dropped in price, I've snapped it up.NOTE: This book requires Kindle Fire/HD or select Kindle Reading Apps (Kindle Cloud Reader, Kindle for iPad or Kindle for Android); however, do note the warning in the synopsis below; I downloaded to my Kindle Fire HD (8.9") and it is readable, although the images tend to be placed in the background and the text often flows over them. On my iPad (which required updating the Kindle app to the latest version), it looks absolutely fine, so ignore the warning if you have an iPad (and probably on the PC, although I didn't test it there). On the Fire HD+, the TOC and search work; on the IPAD 4 with the latest Kindle App version, the TOC works, but there is no search function. The filesize for this book is also quite large, so you'll want to download it via WiFi, rather than using a cellular connection (if your device has one).
