Missing portion of Free Books for Your Kindle

Posted by Kindle 15 Mar 2009 No Comments »

Thanks to reader Eric Chaffee, I’ve found an error in the current version of Free Books for Your Kindle that is available for download. I should have quality checked it better when I downloaded the latest version. If I had, I would have caught an unintentional truncation that was caused by some code from Microsoft Word. Yes, I know, Word isn’t exactly the best editing program for this stuff, but it was what I had easily available that day.I will update the version from the Kindle store to include the missing portion, but that takes a few days to appear, and it’s not clear if a rumored recent policy change will affect the ability of those who had downloaded previously to get a free update. I’m waiting to hear from Amazon on that. Fortunately, the missing portion doesn’t affect the usability of the book. :) Unfortunately, the missing portion contained the acknowledgements. :( Here it is (and I’ll post in a couple of other places as well:================================================…Free Books for Your Kindle to each of them, only paying once! This is version 5, May 8. 2008. You can tell what version it is by the letter at the end: this one ends in e. The next one will end in f, and so on.======================================AcknowledgmentsI’d like to especially to thank Michael R. Hicks (http://www.kreelanwarrior.com/ ), author of In Her Name, a superior science fiction novel available on the Kindle. He answered a question I posted, which enabled me to correct some HTML coding I had done. Without it, this article would not have posted to Amazon and you wouldn’t be reading it. :) . My appreciation also goes to the participants in Amazon’s Kindle Forum. I have found out a number of useful and interesting things there, and have been able to help some people as well. Thank you also, for purchasing this article. Copyright 2008 Bufo Calvin ====================================================My apologies to the people who were disconcerted by the sudden cut-off, and to those who should have received credit. This is the link to Michael’s book (it is a live link in the missing portion, as is a link to the Kindle 1 forum):http://www.amazon.com/In-Her-Name/dp/B001A7X0BI/bufosweirdworld===Thanks again to Eric Chaffee for pointing this out and thereby allowing me to rectify the error! This also absolves Amazon of guilt in this case. :) Bufo CalvinAuthor, Free Books for Your Kindlehttp://tinyurl.com/BufoKindleFAQs
