Free Book (Kindle/EPUB/nook/iBooks) - Tiger Eye

Update: 12/16/2011 Now free from Kobo and Sony, for Canadians only.
Update: 12/13/2011 No longer free for those in the US, this is now free on Kindle and from iTunes for Canadians only.
Update: Now free on Kindle!

Tiger Eye ($7.99 Kindle), the start of the Tiger Eye series by Marjorie M. Liu, is free pretty much everywhere but in the Kindle store. This is an Agency published title, so I recommend reporting the lower prices, in the hopes that Amazon will drop their price.
Book Description
Long ago they roamed the earth -- dragons, tigers…shapeshifters -- men who wore the forms of beasts. Their world was magic. Now it is gone.

But some remain…

He looks out of place in Dela Reese's Beijing hotel room -- exotic and poignant, some mythic, tragic hero of an epic tale. With his feline yellow eyes, he's like nothing from her world,. Yet Dela has danced through the echo of his soul, and knows this warrior will obey her every command.

Hari has been used and abused for millennia. But he sees, upon his release from the riddle box, that this new mistress is different. There is a hidden power in Dela's eyes -- and with her, he may regain all that was lost to him. Where once he savaged, now he must protect; where before he knew only hatred, now he must embrace love. Dela is the key.

For Dela, he will risk all.

Free Book - Medical Error (K/N/E)

Update: 12/28/11 Now free from Barnes & Noble and ChristianBook.

Medical Error, by Richard Mabry, is free once again in the Kindle store, courtesy of Christian publisher Abingdon Press.
Book Description
Dr. Anna McIntyre’s life was going along just fine until someone else started living it. Her patient died because of an identity mix-up; her medical career is in jeopardy because of forged prescriptions; and her credit is in ruins. She thought things couldn’t get worse, but that was before she opened the envelope and saw a positive HIV test with her name on it.

Her allies are two men who are also competing for her affection. Dr. Nick Valentine is a cynic who carries a load of guilt. Attorney Ross Donovan is a recovering alcoholic. The deeper Anna digs to discover who’s behind the identity thefts the higher the stakes. Finally, when her life is on the line, Anna finds that her determination to clear her name might have been a prescription for trouble.

Get $2 off select Glee CDs (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers:

Get $2 off select Glee CDs

Click on offer, then click on the link on the offer page to receive an email with the promotion code. Sign-up for this offer expires on November 16 (tomorrow; this is less than the usual 4-day window for signup).

You'll get an email (right away), a link to the Special Offer page and a promotion code to enter at checkout. Once you have the promotional code, you have until December 16 to complete your purchase. Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Limit one offer per customer and per device; one item may be used with the promotion code.

Not a huge discount, but $2 off is up to 20%, so not too shabby, either, for the Gleeks on your Christmas list. All of the albums will also give you a $1 credit to use in the MP3 store, increasing the total savings, while the newest Christmas album adds an additional $2 credit.

Save $10 on Twilight Saga Movies (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers:

Other than the dates, this appears to be an exact duplicate of the earlier offer on these movies. You don't need to buy any movie tickets (nor are any involved in the offer), either, as it's just a discount on the DVD's.
