Free Book (nook) - Every Zombie Eats Somebody Sometime

Every Zombie Eats Somebody Sometime: A Book of Zombie Love Songs ($8.99 Kindle), by Michael P. Spradlin, was a free pre-order in the Kindle store back in August, before disappearing from the store completely, then having it's publication date pushed back several times. It's no longer free at Amazon (but it downloaded to my Kindle at no charge, this morning, as I caught it during the pre-order time period), but it is free from B&N for the nook (at least, for the moment). I just ordered it there as well and confirmed that I wasn't charged on my receipt.

Book Description
Who says zombies don't have feelings? Losing a limb might not hurt them, and they don't seem to mind being shot, but that doesn't mean the undead can't love, right? This collection features more than two dozen classic love songs aimed right at the rotting hearts of zombie romantics everywhere. Perfect for a cozy evening at home with an infected loved one, this book is sure to get the blood pumping and the juices flowing in even the most decayed zombies. With timeless tunes such as "You Blight Up My Life", "I Ate You Babe", and "Can You Feel Your Thumb Tonight", and heart-melting illustrations to go with each song, this is destined to be an apocalyptic classic!

Free Book (EPUB) - The 7th Victim

If you missed The 7th Victim ($2.99 Kindle), by Alan Jacobson, when it was free on Kindle and from B&N and Kobo, you have another chance at it, as Borders bookstore now has it free (one of the few freebies I've found there). It isn't Kindle compatible there, but Amazon does have it marked down for Kindle right now (it's above $6 at B&N and over $15 at Kobo).

Book Description
The Dead Eyes Killer lurks in the backyard of the famed FBI Profiling Unit. His brutal murders confound the local task force, despite the gifted profiling skills of Special Agent Karen Vail. But along with Vail's insight and expertise comes considerable personal and professional baggage. On leave pending a review of her assault on her abusive ex-husband, Vail must battle forces determined to bring her down, as she fights to find Dead Eyes before he murders more young women. But the seventh victim is the key to all that stirs this killer...the key that will unlock secrets perhaps too painful for Vail to bear. These are secrets that threaten to destroy her, secrets that will bring down her storied career. For Karen Vail, the truth rests at the heart of a lie. And uncovering it could get her killed... With material meticulously researched during seven years of study with the Bureau's vaunted profiling unit, Alan Jacobson brings refreshing realism and unprecedented accuracy to his pages. The 7th Victim is a page-turner as only Alan Jacobson can write, with a stunning twist of an ending that will satisfy even the most discerning thriller reader.

Super Magazine Sale at Amazon

I've already mentioned that Amazon is running a contest for free Kindles that is tied to magazine subscriptions, but when I clicked over there today, I found that they have sweetened the pot. Not only are a number of $5 and $7 subscriptions back, but they are giving you $10 back in credit (good for any Amazon purchase), if you spend $30 on magazines, thru today, November 30.  I've already seen two that I want, so all I have to do is finish up a bit of my Christmas shopping, early, to have that credit waiting for me next week!

I found more discounted magazines HERE.

Free Book (nook) - Twelve Hidden Days of Christmas

Twelve Hidden Days of Christmas ($11.66 Hardcover; not available on Kindle), illustrated by Macky Pamintuan, is free in the B&N store. This one's for kids and I'd recommend you read it to them on the largest color screen you have. That is, if you can get it to download. It's in my library, but I can't get it to download on my pc (in the B&N reader, Nookstudy or from the library) or phone (although it did tell me it was too large to download via 3G) or my nook. I'm still trying on the iPad, but suspect this one either is completely broken or will require customer service (such as it is) to get straightened out.

Update: Hey, maybe I should read all the notes - this one works ONLY with NOOKcolor, not on any of their apps (which begs the question of why not) and not on the original nook. Unlike Amazon, who makes the basic text and pics available no matter which Kindle you own, when you buy the Audio/Video enhanced editions (and they all work on the Apps, as well), B&N appears to have decided to support enhanced editions ONLY on the (not very well reviewed) NOOKcolor.

Book Description
Kids love searching for Christmas gifts, and they can get a head start on the holiday with this joyful twist on the popular carol. You’ll recognize most of the words from “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” but instead of “my true love” giving the presents, jolly Santa’s leaving them all around the house. Sharp-eyed children can accompany a curious little bear to look for St. Nick’s cheerful handiwork—as well as some festive extras that artist Macky Pamintuan has playfully added to the art, including jingle bells, a candy cane in the toothbrush cup, and bright snowflakes floating over the bathtub. As the items accumulate, the delight heightens, with ten frog lords a-leaping and sliding; nine pretty pink pig ladies dancing a ballet; and cow maids ready to do their milking.

The best is saved for last in a big ending: a huge double gatefold that’s actually four pages long, containing all the items delivered during the twelve days.

Free Book (EPUB/nook) - Holman Christian Standard Bible

Previously free in the Kindle store (but now missing, as Holman changes the ASIN's, once again), The Holy Bible: HCSB Digital Text Edition, is now free in the B&N store and from Sony.

Book Description
This text edition of the HCSB has been optimized for easy reading on digital devices. Free from the visual clutter of footnotes, cross references, and other links, this edition is fast to navigate and easy to use.

The HCSB was developed by 100 scholars and English stylists from 17 denominations, who prayerfully translated what is one of the most significant Bible translations available today. The HCSB reflects linguistic advances in vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and formatting while it retains meaningful theological terms. In the HCSB you'll find God's personal name (Yahweh), the use of "Messiah" in the New Testament, and the use of "slave" in the New Testament, just to name a few examples. Also, you'll notice the contemporary speech patterns in the HCSB mean that words like "behold" and "shall" are not used. Instead, words or phrases that are common today can be found in their place.

The HCSB employs a first-of-its kind translation philosophy known as Optimal Equivalence, which seeks to achieve an optimal balance of literary precision and emotive clarity through a comprehensive analysis of the text at every level. This process assures maximum transfer of both words and thoughts contained in the original.
