Here are several full-length nonfiction titles — including decision-making aids, personal finance, and education — to lead some late-day additions to our Free Book Alert listings in the Kindle Store!
AmI
by Myra Concannon
Along with the thoroughly enjoyable “solve the mystery” aspect of AmI, one of the appealing aspects of this book is that it shows how valuable and useful the Kindle can be for senior citizens.

Since time began, the Earth has served as a balance between the world of darkness that is the Abyss, and the paradise known as Eden. Now the battle between good and evil has reached a tipping point, and survival depends on one fallen demon– and the woman he can’t resist…
“Kate Douglas does it again! A delicious, sexy romp of a book, with a demon lover to die for and an everywoman heroine who rises to the challenge. It totally sucked me in!”–Angela Knight, New York Times bestselling author
“Wildly entertaining. A fabulous new world for fans of the paranormal.”–Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author
Ever since local developer Fred Stanton and his wife, Mimi, built five modular homes next door to Lucy Stone’s farmhouse, life just hasn’t been the same. With Mimi complaining about everything from the state of Lucy’s lawn to another neighbor’s lovable dog, quaint Tinker’s Cove, Maine, is now entangled in cul-de-sac politics and backstabbing. And when Mimi doesn’t show up for her shift at The Hat and Mitten Fund bake sale, the scent of burnt sugar leads Lucy to a shocking discovery: Mimi, face down on her kitchen floor–with a knife in her back.
While the police start their investigation, Lucy gets busy writing up the murder for the local Pennysaver–and following a few leads of her own. Lucy knows the women in her neighborhood didn’t like Mimi, but they certainly didn’t want her dead…right?
Billy Boyle is a Boston cop, from a family of Boston cops, but he is a reluctant soldier who prefers walking the beat in Southie to fighting Nazis. Using her cousin by marriage, a certain General Eisenhower, Billy’s mother lands her son a seemingly soft job with Ike’s staff in London. But Ike wants Billy to use his investigative know-how to sniff out a possible spy in the Allies’ inner circle. Young Billy, oversold by his mother as a crackerjack detective, is definitely in over his head, especially when it turns out that the apparent suicide of a Norwegian dignitary may have been the work of the spy. Benn has a tantalizing premise here, but he doesn’t quite deliver on it: his prose slips into wartime cliches a little too often, and the supporting love story reeks of WWII melodrama. Yet the action builds to a suspenseful climax, and there is even a hint of moral ambiguity in the wrap-up. A not entirely satisfactory debut, then, but Ken Follett fans will want to give Billy and his uncle a chance to develop. —Bill Ott, Booklist
Here’s the author’s description: “Finding the perfect hero and heroine for a romance novel can turn a writer’s hair gray–that’s why I advertise for them. Interviewing characters can be exhausting, and getting them to stick to the plot? Well, it doesn’t always work that way. And then you find out they’re talking about you behind your back–Meet Randy and Sarah, the hero and heroine of Finding Sarah and Hidden Fire, in a funny and illuminating look at what goes on behind the scenes of the romance writing process.” Sounds a little meta, but lots of fun.

Price Slashed! The American Book of the Dead Now Available for $1, and You May Be Eligible for a Credit if You Bought It for $2.99
By Stephen Windwalker
Editor of Kindle Nation Daily ©Kindle Nation Daily 2010
First, thanks to Ken for writing in with a very understandable question recently:
Steve, is there ever a difference in the price of a download, depending on whether it is bought from one’s Kindle or from a link from your web site? I downloaded one the other day from your web site at $2.99, and then 2 days later when I went to Amazon I noticed it was $1.
Thanks,
Kenno
Ken went on to say that he had called customer support and received a credit for the difference between the two prices.
First, Ken, no, there is absolutely never a price differential between the price that is available when you buy a Kindle book directly from your Kindle and the price that you would get when you buy a Kindle book from the main Amazon website’s version of the Kindle Store, whether you get there from Kindle Nation Daily or another website. Something different and interesting happened in this case, and it is worth explaining, in part because other Kindle Nation citizens may also be able to obtain a credit either in this case or similar cases should you notice them in the future.
The book in question was a very interesting novel by Henry Baum, The American Book of the Dead
Although I have been on vacation since Friday, I’ve been checking in for two hours a day and saw that I had received some emails and post comments from readers who were unable to purchase and download The American Book of the Dead
Long story short, most authors and publishers who publish their books in Kindle editions agree to offer them at as low a price on the Kindle platform as any offered price on any other website. In this case, through no fault of the author’s, The American Book of the Dead
If you were one of those who purchased The American Book of the Dead
Although the situation may have been a bit stressful for the author and perhaps even for a few of our readers, I’m also pleased to see how hard Amazon is working to make sure that Kindle Store prices are competitive, and I am equally pleased at the lightning fast response of all concerned.
And, just in case you need a reminder about this fascinating and ambitious novel, here are a few lines from our Saturday post:
