Here's the set-up:
Alejandro Mohammed Cuchulain, called Cooch or Alex, became a Marine at sixteen and a CIA special-operations trainee at 17. His father is a wheel-chair bound former Marine and Medal of Honor winner who gives Alex advice as to how to survive in a violent world. His mother is the daughter of a Bedouin sheikh who sends a young Alex off, during his summer breaks, to experience the Bedouin life. The combination of a very young start in learning the art and craft of violence, combined with a thirst for knowledge combine to help him to become both a noted designer and user of explosives and an expert in Islamic affairs. Violent, yet thoughtful, Cooch represents the best in fast-moving, popular thrillers.

    LOVE the new search tool! How about adding a category for Literary Fiction? Keep up the GREAT work.

    • Kindle Nation on June 3, 2011 at 8:17 pm

      Thanks, Betsy! Great minds think alike — we’re working on it, but it requires a bit more assembly than some of the more straightforward categories.

  2. ed Kimmey on June 4, 2011 at 10:22 am

    very good

  3. Marilyn Levy on June 4, 2011 at 3:29 pm

    Why is the print font so, so small? It is almost invisible!

    • Kindle Nation on June 5, 2011 at 8:42 am

      Hi Marilyn, that’s easy to control on your browser — just hold down the CONTROL key and hit the + key (CTRL++) … or on a Mac hold down the COMMAND or APPLE key and hit the + ky (COMMAND++)

      Hope that helps!

      Cheers,
      Steve

      • Jamie Mathis on September 23, 2012 at 5:40 pm

        The print is way too tiny on my smartphone galaxy sII skyrocket.

    • shakti muse on February 16, 2013 at 7:07 am

      Hi
      if you are on a pc then making the writing bigger is easy! Put both index fingers in the middle of your touchpad and push down and stroke apart a bit – it is a bit uncontrollable and the sizes vary – you can reverse and go inwards
      it is very useful and does not remain so that other pages do not work on that size are not affected
      hope that is helpful!

  4. Arlette on June 5, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    This new format is awesome. Thanks for the change.

  5. Dawn Cail on June 6, 2011 at 6:01 pm

    Woohoo! So glad you made this improvement. Absolutely love it!

  6. Laura Franklin on June 22, 2011 at 7:18 pm

    Any chance of adding a search by author feature/

    • LInda Wright on May 26, 2012 at 9:01 am

      Yes please a listing by author would make this perfect!

      • Dolores Jordan on March 9, 2013 at 4:58 pm

        I also agree. A search by author would be awesome!

    WOW!! I love this website now. It is so easy to use. I have 2 Kindles of my own (K1 & K3) and have given 4 Kindles as gifts. One of those gifts was to my local library so the librarians are now loaning out the Kindle and teaching people how to read electronically. I enjoy reading I enjoy Kindle Nation Daily! Keep up the good work!

  13. Ken Holland on August 30, 2011 at 3:14 am

    Great site and well laid out. Thanks!

  14. Linda Schachtschneider on November 4, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    My Kindle is my most prized possession. I have two and have ordered another. I read every day and have had great service from Amazon regarding my Kindle.

  17. glenn starrett on December 23, 2011 at 1:04 am

    Just stumbled on this and I couldn’t be happier! Was getting amazon daily on my kindle keyboard and was searching for a replacement on my Fire. This is exactly what I was looking for. Great job! I will use this every day.

  18. deb durost on February 4, 2012 at 9:20 am

    This is a great layout and a wonderful way to find free books. Thank you for your generosity in giving away these books! I would not be able to enjoy my fire as much if not for these freebees. Thanks

  19. PeterBHayward on February 20, 2012 at 4:06 pm

    This combination of thriller and mysteries needs to be separated into Mysteries and thrillers as it is on Amazon. IMHO, the people who read about the supernatural and the people who read what we traditionally call mysteries are two different populations.

    Follow Amazon’s example of Kindle book listings.

    • Bonnie Ray on June 19, 2012 at 10:20 pm

      I totally agree. I hesitate to complain about free books and am thrilled that this site exists. But I am not a reader of supernatural or thrillers. I love mysteries and read one almost daily. Is there a reason the categories could not be separated?

    • B_Craven on January 17, 2013 at 11:44 pm

      Please remove the sci-fi, horror, zombie/vampire/ghost stories, young adult, etc., from this mystery/thriller category. I would also love mysteries and thrillers to be separated, and to be able to search by author and title keywords. Do enjoy using the website!

  20. LAGraham on May 22, 2012 at 9:51 am

    Loving this website. My only wish would be that the search tool could also sort by author. Loving what IS here, however.

  21. Roberta on June 5, 2012 at 9:40 pm

    I know that there is a lot of crossover between categories but would it be possible to label the Christian themed novels that are also listed in the Mystery category as such? It is not always easy to tell from the book descriptions if they are religious and I really don’t care to read them if they are.

  22. Nola on June 18, 2012 at 1:22 pm

    Thanks for the free books…

  23. Tena on June 24, 2012 at 3:29 pm

    Thanks!!

  24. Rose on July 4, 2012 at 1:19 am

    Thank you for finding such gems! My daughter gave me a Kindle and with your website I am back to reading again. Didn’t realize I had missed it so much. So thank you for taking me places, teaching me things and making me think. I think so many of these new authors really have talent.

    Thanks again.

  25. PeterBHayward on July 15, 2012 at 3:03 pm

    I am getting so tired of wading through the plethora of supernatural novels, vampire novels, time travel novels, etc.,
    that are now included in this category.

    Why can’t your engine do as Amazon does and separately pull just Mysteries, just Thrillers, just vampire or zombie eating ….

  26. Cindy Martinez on July 21, 2012 at 2:06 pm

    great website

  27. Darlene on August 21, 2012 at 9:23 pm

    Thanks for the categories! So much easier to find the books that I enjoy without having to wade through all of the others – found a lot more to add to my collection.

  28. Chris Lang on August 30, 2012 at 4:50 pm

    Thanks so much for all the great books today and including “Plenzes” in your offerings! – Chris Lang

    Awesome

  35. Roberta on April 1, 2013 at 2:09 pm

    Why did you change to only showing ten books per page? It was much easier when you had 25 or so. It now seems that I spend more time going to the next page than looking at the book contents.

    • KND on April 13, 2013 at 6:46 am

      We’re just trying to comply with some changes from Amazon while still trying to provide as much value as possible for our readers. If we are able to increase the books per page in the future we will certainly do so.

  36. David Dougherty on April 12, 2013 at 2:42 pm

    I agree that having 25 books per page is better. I assumed the change was made to increase your page views, but you only advertise your own stuff. The change doesn’t make sense but really increases my annoyance factor.

    • KND on April 13, 2013 at 6:45 am
