Here’s this afternoon’s press release from Amazon:

SEATTLE, Aug 02, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — (NASDAQ: AMZN) — Amazon.com today announced that a free subscription to the digest edition of Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine is now exclusively available in the Kindle Store. Kindle customers who subscribe will get access to all of the magazine’s editorial content – editor’s recommendations, “Curiosities” (odd books of enduring interest), film reviews, book reviews, cartoons and humor, and “Coming Attractions” (highlights of each issue) – along with one short story, all at no cost. Customers can start reading the magazine today on their Kindle or free Kindle reading apps for Android, iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

“Fantasy & Science Fiction is the definitive magazine of the genre,” said Russ Grandinetti, Vice President of Kindle Content. “We know our Kindle customers are huge fans of this category, and we’re excited to offer them a free and exclusive subscription to the magazine to read anywhere.”

Stephen King, bestselling author and long-time fan of Fantasy & Science Fiction, said: “This is the best fiction magazine in America. Kindle readers are in luck.”

Fantasy & Science Fiction, which publishes six times a year, was founded in 1949 and is the original publisher of classics by a wide variety of great writers, including Stephen King, Daniel Keyes and Kurt Vonnegut. Each bimonthly issue offers compelling short fiction and the science-fiction field’s most respected and outspoken opinions on books, films, and science.

A subscription to the extended edition of the magazine, which is also a Kindle exclusive, is available for just $12 a year and includes everything in the digest edition plus several additional short stories and novelettes. Individual issues of the extended edition are available for $2.99.

Like all Kindle books and many magazines, Fantasy & Science Fiction is “Buy Once, Read Everywhere”– customers can read more than 100 newspapers and magazines, including The Economist, The Atlantic, Newsweek, and the Washington Post, using their Kindles and free Kindle reading apps for Android, iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. With Kindle Worry-Free Archive, books and magazines purchased from the Kindle Store are automatically backed up online in customers’ Kindle libraries on Amazon, where they can be re-downloaded wirelessly for free, anytime.

Kindle Nation Bargain Alert: Summer Beach Reads by Kindle Nation Fave Robyn Bradley … and Each of Them at Just 99 Cents!

(Ed. Note: It’s always a treat to introduce a talented writer for a guest post – especially when she has a gift for hitting the sweet spot at intersection of Great Reads and great Prices! — S.W.)

A Guest Post by Robyn Bradley
If you’re a fan of books that fall somewhere between smart chick lit and women’s fiction, you won’t want to miss Forgotten April…a sister story with an edge.
One Amazon reviewer calls it a “great summertime read because it’s smart but also fast-paced and fun.” Another says, “It was very hard to put this novel down. I thought about it when my mind wasn’t otherwise occupied, wondering what was going to happen next.”
by Robyn Bradley
4.6 stars – 17 Reviews
If you’re in the mood for something shorter — you know, something to read in between naps while floating around the pool — check out the short story “Crush.” It’s literary and quirky, but consider yourself warned: you may never look at a Cape Cod beach in the same way ever again.
What’s it about? Here’s the scoop: Living a quiet life as a single mother, Louise Gunther is proud to have successfully raised her only child, Teddy, to adulthood. But all that changes one summer afternoon when Teddy dies in a freak accident on a Cape Cod beach. Moved beyond ordinary grief, Louise becomes obsessed with the manner in which Teddy died, determined to recreate his final moments, even if it means dying herself.

5.0 stars – 1 Reviews

And what would summer be without a little prep reading for fall? In October, I’ll be releasing What Happened in Granite Creek, which I’ve based on one of my most popular short stories, “Support Our Troops.” Check it out and see if you like it and if you want to know more. If you do, be sure to connect with me on my Facebook page so you don’t miss out on all the details leading up to the launch of the full-blown novel.

Publetariat Dispatch: The iPad And The Kindle Compared

Publetariat: For People Who Publish!

In today’s Publetariat Dispatch, indie author and publishing consultant Joanna Penn compares the iPad to the Kindle.

I’ve had the Kindle for over a year and the iPad for a few months now. Here’s how I am using both devices.

In the video below, I explain:

Reading fiction. Pretty much only on the Kindle device or on the Kindle app on the iPad/iPhone. I am quite loyal to the Amazon.com brand and experience as I have been buying physical books from overseas for years. It is a natural extension to move to the Kindle store, buy books there and read over multiple devices. The iBookstore is not very well populated as yet, and the Kindle app on the iPad is preferable.

Reading blogs. I use the iPad to relax and browse my Google Reader feeds as well as my social networks. I love using Flipboard, a fantastic app that formats the feeds into a magazine style layout with different sizes and pictures. It is addictive to read on Flipboard so that is how I find all the interesting articles that I tweet @thecreativepenn

Reading non-fiction/online course materials generally in PDF format. I do a lot of online courses and learning. Much of that material is formatted in PDF. I use GoodReader app on the iPad for this and love to be in the hammock with the iPad, a notebook and a cup of tea.

Multi-media. I am watching more videos on YouTube on the iPad as part of my surfing. I have also read some ebooks with embedded links to video that are great on the iPad specifically.

Traveling. When I was in Bali, I used the iPad for email, skype phone calls and twitter/facebook while I was away. I didn’t take the Kindle device as it is specialized but I did sync the same books and read them on the Kindle app. Using the iPad for skype saved me lots of money on international phone calls as well as being easy for email so I could work seamlessly while traveling. It’s definitely the device I will use in the future for travel.

Email/social networking/news on a casual basis. This may freak some people out but I often read email/twitter/FB/news while having breakfast! My husband also has an iPad and consumes different media to me. I often read UK and European news and he reads information from New Zealand (our respective countries of origin). Sitting at breakfast with a newspaper is not unusual for many couples, and for us, it is sitting with iPads. I don’t feel like it is work when I can just check a few things on email, reply to a few tweets and catch up on the news.

Overall, the iPad replaces laptop usage rather than Kindle usage. I am shifting consumption of blogs/video/learning onto the iPad whereas I did that with my laptop before. It is much more relaxing to sit with the iPad on the couch than to sit with a laptop. I still use the Kindle device for reading fiction primarily as their are no distractions when using it. The iPad has multiple distractions!

Do you have an iPad? How do you use yours?

KND Kindle Free Book Alert, Tuesday, August 2: OVER THIRTY (34) BRAND NEW FREEBIES IN THE PAST 24 HOURS! Search OVER 900 FREE TITLES by Category! plus … T. Lynne Tolles’s SOMBER ISLAND (Today’s Sponsor, $2.99)

Powered by our magical Kindle free book tool, here are this morning’s latest additions to our 900+ Kindle Free Book listings….                           


But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

Phoebe MacIntire’s life has just been turned upside down by her father’s decision to send her from her home in Scotland to be a lifelong servant in Newfoundland. She arrives at Lord Jacobs’ manor to find the beautiful place abandoned … but with a note explaining the strange dietary requirements and sleeping habits of her new master. 

Somber Island

Don’t have a Kindle? Get yours here.

“Combining elements of classic fairy tales, horror stories and classic literature, this book draws you in and doesn’t let go.

–Jennifer



Here’s the set-up: 
 

Phoebe MacIntire, who is a servant to her father and sisters in her own house in Scotland in 1855, is an ordinary girl, with no big dreams for the future. She’s perfectly happy in her humble life, with her cot in the basement and her little garden in the backyard. But when her father up and sends her to Newfoundland to be the lifelong servant to Lord Jacobs, she finds her life gets turned upside down.

Her journey across the Atlantic to her new home is long, scary and very unpleasant. When she arrives at the manor on a small island, she finds the beautiful place abandoned and only a note waits for her explaining her duties, the strange dietary requirements, and sleeping habits of her new master.

The very first night in her new home she’s haunted in her dreams by a woman who clearly does not want her there and a strange blue-eyed man-wolf creature that follows the woman. Her dreams become more and more violent and mysteries start to be uncovered about a woman who was killed in a fire on the island, a creature that preys on anyone that comes to the island and a love story gone wrong that dates back over a hundred and twenty two years.


One Reviewer Notes:


“Phoebe is the youngest daughter of a cruel old man. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father blames her for his financial problems resulting from a childhood case of polio. Phoebe’s father has one goal in life; to marry his other two daughters off to rich husbands. Phoebe’s fate is not a happy one as her father will never be able to marry her off, so he sells her as a servant. Phoebe takes a long journey to Newfoundland. Phoebe is an intriguing character. She is very intelligent. It was such a joy, watching Phoebe and Nate fall in love and watching that love blossom. All the while Phoebe and Nate are being haunted by the malignant spirit of Emma. I highly recommend this author, you will fall in love with Phoebe, Nate, Liam, and Samuel. I hope Ms. Tolles continues this story with a sequel.

–M. Decena

KND Kindle Free Book Alert, Monday, August 1: SEARCH AND SORT OVER 900 FREE TITLES IN OVER 25 CATEGORIES! plus … 30 Straight Rave Reviews for Brett Battles’ SICK (Today’s Sponsor, $2.99)

But first, a word from … Today’s Sponsor

30 Straight Rave Reviews!

For fans of Stephen King, Blake Crouch, and Michael Crichton comes a new, heart-pounding thriller by Brett Battles…
 

Sick (A Project Eden Thriller)
by  Brett Battles
4.8 stars on 30 straight Rave Reviews!
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled 
Don’t have a Kindle? Get yours here.

“Like a fever, SICK makes you sweat and keeps you up all night, wondering what the hell is happening. It’ll make your heart race like someone shot you with an EpiPen. You think Battles was badass before? He just cranked it up to 500 joules. CLEAR!”

popculturenerd.com



Here’s the set-up: 
 

Daniel Ash wakes after midnight to the cry of his daughter. Just a bad dream, he thinks. She’s had them before. Yet he can’t help but worry when she cries out again as he pads down the hallway. Stepping through her doorway, he expects to find her sitting up in bed, frightened by a nightmare.

But the nightmare is his. It’s real. And it’s just beginning…

Something is burning Ash’s daughter alive. Something horrible that is spreading beyond the walls of their home, and taking no prisoners. Thirty seconds later, Ash will discover his daughter isn’t the only one in his family infected, and as his world spins, coming apart at the seams, a team of armed men in biohazard suits bursts into his house.

But these aren’t the good guys.

They haven’t come to save Ash’s family. They’ve come to separate them, to finish what they started. The problem is Ash refuses to disappear. He wants only one thing: to find those responsible.

Because humanity is on the brink of execution. And man is pulling the trigger.


One Reviewer Notes:


SICK is highly contagious and you’re not immune. You’re infected from the first paragraph and pulled along at a fever pitch.

You wake up one night to discover your son and wife appear dead and your daughter is sick. The authorities tell you that you your kids and wife are dead and you find yourself in a cell block of a government facility. As you fight to find the truth about your children you are taken on a nightmare ride discovering the stakes are much higher, the near extinction of the human race.

SICK is not a “madman tries to end the world” troupe. This is the story of one man caught up in a secret war between a shadowy government backed organization and an equally secret group with astounding resources. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

–MacDuff
