UNIXy Guy. He/him. Prone to shouting "PUPPY" in public. I frequently (almost every day, in fact) give away Kindle genre books using #KindleBookGiveaway hashtag, and wrote a feed named "Kindle Book Giveaway" -- but remember bsky has hashtags now!

For the past few years, I have been giving out ebooks for free. These are almost (but not always) US Kindle books; I sometimes to UK/IE Kindle books as well. I get asked about this a lot, so here are some notes:
• I will use the hashtag #KindleBookGiveaway
• These are legally purchased books

It's both better and worse than the US plan -- you can't opt out at all (as far as I can tell), but people who live in the EU are exempted.

No gas at this one. And yes, parking. You might have had to walk a half mile, but there was *lots* of parking. Including a 3 level parking structure.

All claimed now, yay! I was busy doing other things so I didn't track it closely, but even 11 minutes is nice and fast for an author I haven't given out before! Yay! I hope that's at least 7 happier people!

Very well! Simply because @rachelneu.bsky.social did her own promotion, here are 5 US Kindle copies of Eight Doors From Dawn To Midnight, which I have but haven't read in the past, uh, 2 minutes I think. I'm getting old and slow. If you read it, let me know what you think!

Nine-souled Lahn was born for one use -- a use that would destroy him. Created to kill, tiger-souled Vích chose instead to defend and stole her brother away from those who had made them both.

Now their enemies have found them.

Just $0.99 for two more days --

Real story, btw: I was given a tour of the iTunes Media library shortly after movies were added, and while we were walking by one of the drives started *clicking* and @foobly.bsky.social says I jumped backwards calling upon god.

No, there are battery-powered purring devices that go under (or, in some cases, *in*) pillows. They're a sleep aid.

(Er, the Enya thing isn't due to a change in spelling, it's because of, uh, not aspiration, some other language thing that I also don't understand.)

Now it's spelled "sí." And "Eithne Ni Brennan" gets changed to "Eithne Ni Bhrennian."
