Free Book - Count to 10 (K)

Count to 10, by Emily Thompson, is free in the Kindle store, but only for those who have a Kindle Fire registered to their account. For the many parents out there that either use a Kindle Fire with their younger children or let them play with one on their own, this is a perfect addition and about time, as I have several such books for the NOOK Color and Tablet, which have been free in the last year or so. Unlike B&N, though, you can't add this one to your account without a Kindle Fire registered (although you could borrow one from a friend to register for a short time, it hardly seems worth it for one title).

Oddly enough, this title also says it is "optimized for larger screens", so perhaps it is an early indicator that a larger Kindle tablet is in the works!
