New Kindle Game - Sudoku

There is a new game on Kindle: Sudoku ($3.99), by Electronic Arts Inc. I'm looking forward to trying it, but suspect the K2 and even the KDX may be easier to use than the latest K3, due to Amazon's short-sighted removal of the number keys from the keyboard. Sure, they work with the Alt-Key, as they do on the KDX, but there isn't any writing on the keys to remind you how far over you have to go to get to the 5 or 6.

Game Description
Play Sudoku on Kindle - anytime, anywhere.

EA Sudoku contains thousands of built-in puzzles, as well as the ability to enter and play a puzzle from your favorite newspaper or magazine in "Newspaper" mode.

With five difficulty levels from "Easy" to "Insane," Sudoku offers plenty of fun for Sudoku players of all skill levels. Built-in game features let you make "Notes," "Undo" moves, and apply "Error Checking." If you get stuck, you can use the "Hints" feature to fill out a cell for you, or use "AutoFill" to display the notes on all open cells on the game board. You can even track your game stats to see how you progress over time.

EA Sudoku lets you exercise your mind in a fun way.

A number of the free books in the last couple of days have become free on at Barnes and Noble, for the nook or at Sony, after I originally posted the links for Kindle. I've update the links in the posts for the following:

Fairytale of New York, which is for UK customers only on Kindle, is now free for US and Canadian customers (at the least) from Kobo. The format is EPUB and has DRM, so isn't Kindle compatible, but should work well for anyone that has another reading app or device. Update links in this post:

• Free Book (Kindle/EPUB) - Fairytale of New York (UK Only)

Several of the free books from Samhain this week were for the nook only. However, they are DRM-free, so you can grab them there, download and run thru Calibre for a quick conversion to read on your Kindle (or just load them, as is, for the Sony, Kobo or other EPUB readers). There were at least a couple of comments by people who wanted these, so be sure to get them while they are free:

• Free Book (nook) - Trey
• Free Book (nook) - Hara's Legacy 
• Free Book (nook) - The Sword Lord 
• Free Book (nook) - Without Reservations 
• Free Book (nook) - Just Right

Free Book (nook) - Trey

Trey: Red, Hot & Blue, Book 1 ($2.80 Kindle), by J. L. Langley, is free courtesy of Samhain (so heed the content warning), at B&N.

Book Description
They can’t deny the heat—it’s the only thing keeping them alive.

A distracted soldier is a dead solder. That’s special operative Trey Williams’ motto. The last thing he needs in his life is a girlfriend. Problem is, the woman who’s been recruited to pose as his wife on a special assignment is proving to be exactly the kind of distraction he can’t afford.

Years ago, Carly McAfee turned her back not only on her military career, but the men who come with it. So why did she say yes to a mission that puts her in intimate contact with Trey, under 24/7 surveillance by both bad guys and good? One slip, and they’re both dead. It’s not long, though, before her body betrays her, followed closely by her heart.

With a terrorist arms deal going down and missing teammate’s life on the line, Carly and Trey must throw caution to the wind in the scorching-hot performance of their lives—and try not to lose their hearts and minds in the process.

This book has been previously published and has been revised and expanded from its original release.

Warning: Contains bad men with big guns and video cameras, and an unmarried couple who need to get naked and get busy acting very married to save both their country and their lives.

Free Book (nook) - Hara's Legacy

Hara's Legacy ($4.40 Kindle), by Bianca D'Arc, is free courtesy of Samhain (so heed the content warning), at B&N.

Book Description
It's a serious game of cowboys and aliens when three psychically gifted brothers try to protect the one fragile, empathic woman who holds all their hearts against a menacing alien threat.

First in the Resonance Mates series.

Montana rancher Caleb O'Hara's precognitive abilities saved his family from an alien attack that annihilated almost everyone on Earth. Now the aliens have come to study the remnants of humanity. Caleb knows the only way to ensure the safety of his young wife, Janie, and his beloved brothers, Justin and Mick, is to keep the family together on their isolated ranch.

All three O'Hara brothers love Jane. They grew up next door to the young, empathic beauty and she stole all their hearts at one time or another, though she married Caleb. Caleb foresees the shocking truth of what they have to do in order to survive, and Caleb's visions never lie.

They'll have to come to terms with a new world, and an evolving relationship, all while finding a way to protect two newborn babies who are innocent pawns in the aliens' deadly game. Somehow, this one talented family holds the key for humanity's survival on this new, conquered world called Earth.

Warning: this title contains explicit sex and menage a quatre.
