Angie (pinkindle) | 828 comments I mainly just check the Amazon Top 100, but I also keep an eye on the eBook deal threads in other groups I'm in.

Hillary (eledri) | 759 comments For the kindle daily deals you can use http://www.amazon.com/gp/gss/detail/9... <-- that and subscribe.

Otherwise I recommend using www.inkmesh.com <-- That will show you free ebooks on Amazon, B&N, Sony, etc. etc.

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments If you're looking for Kindle book deals, then ereaderiq.com will show you free books in addition to price drops on kindle books, so if one goes on sale for $1.99 or whatever you will see that too.


Rach (pagesofpiper) (piperbunny) Thanks :D

Vivian (_vivian) | 77 comments And if you don't mind reading on a computer or your phone, there's always the Kindle app, totally free :)

Diane (dyniy) | 12 comments I've got a Nook color so I put the Kindle app on my laptop a few months ago. I love it. It's like 2 ereaders in 1. Thanks. ;-)

You may not need a Kindle.

Smashwords, for instance offers ten different types of download.

If you choose the PDF download, you receive a full colour version of the book on your computer.

This is very snazzy.

You save it and read it on Adobe.

I have some of these on my little notebook and they make fab reading.

Hope you come right.


Pierre

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments meh. Reading on the computer for long periods of time sucks and causes eye strain and headaches.


message 61: by Samantha (new)

Samantha | 178 comments Good point Pierre. Sometimes it may be better to have book on a computer than no book at all. ;)


message 62: by Ottilie (new)

Ottilie (ottilie_weber) | 93 comments Thank you Pierre, I saved it with as a kindle file for when I get one :)

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments So is Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi Everneath (Everneath, #1) by Brodi Ashton

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments Crap, I just went over and realized that it's Harper Collins who has Hallowed. :( They're pretty much the only publisher who hates me/doesn't like to approve my requests.


message 66: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments They declined me. I was like WTF?! I've never been declined by HarperCollins before. So I updated my personal bio and re-requested. They approved me the second time. They were being kinda hardcore today or something. But in the end I snagged all 3 of these. So excited!


message 67: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Do you have a blog Jenny?

I don't get approved by Harper Collins either.


message 68: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (last edited Nov 02, 2011 01:34PM) (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments They're one of the only publishers who have given me a lot of grief. I don't like to blog, and they don't care if you get people to follow your reviews here. Most of the other publishers will take your GR account into consideration if you have a decent amount of followers.


message 69: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments I do have a blog, so I rarely get declined for stuff unless the publisher is only doling out a limited number of approvals or some weird crap like that. Several publishers have me on auto-approve. I don't know why HC gave me crap today. Usually only Penguin are hardasses.


message 70: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments It's strange because HC is the only one who denies me flat out. I may need to redo my profile. There are a couple of other publishers who approve me for some and reject me for others, so I think they have different people who handle individual requests and it varies from person to person. Even with that, if I request again, I get approved.

Okay, so my November schedule is going to be all messed up. I just grabbed a copy of Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie and might have to fit that in.


message 71: by Jenny (last edited Nov 02, 2011 01:46PM) (new)

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments I need to get a copy of that too. =/ And I forgot that I still want to read Son of Neptune and The Death Cure.

Have you looked at what their approval requirements are and what info they want you to have in your bio?


Rach (pagesofpiper) (piperbunny) My reservation for Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie is there but the book hasn't been delivered to my library yet *so excited*


message 73: by D.G. (new)

D.G. I'll wait until one of my libraries have Crossed as an ebook/audiobook. No luck yet.


message 74: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Froi of the Exiles (Lumatere Chronicles, #2) by Melina Marchetta is up on NetGalley right now!!! The US release isn't until March, so grab it while you can.

message 75: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments I requested! Thanks so much!


message 76: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) As soon as I heard it was up I thought of you.


message 77: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments I don't think Candlewick has denied me before, but my luck, this will be the time. No reply yet!


message 78: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments I must have it!


message 79: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (_vivian) | 77 comments Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park is available on Amazon for $1.99 (US). It's $3.99 on Smashwords and BN. I know a few of you here have read and loved it, thought I'd share :)


message 80: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) I just saw that this YA book is now on netgalley:

Under the Mesquite  by Guadalupe Garcia McCall


message 81: by Carina (new)

Carina I hate Netgalley!
*sobs* Why don't they like me!!!...


message 82: by Leea (new)

Leea Oh, *Hugs* Carina. They can be so mean.


message 83: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) Oh no. :( which one?


message 84: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments Oooh, I got these from NetGalley on Sunday:

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments I've been slacking on checking NG lately. Jenny, are you finding all of these under the new section, under the YA section, or are you going straight to publisher? Usually I just check the new section these days, but it seems like I miss out some books here and there.

Kayla, if you're having trouble, try adding more info to your profile. If you don't blog, you can can try putting your GR profile page as a link where the blog info is supposed to go. Some publishers will take the GR info and others won't.

I went to the publisher list specifically for the Macmillan titles and for New Girl I think I found it on the recently added list, but I may have gone to Harlequin for it. The recently added list has been failing me lately, so I've started checking the publishers that have me on auto-approve regularly and then also the YA and SF/F lists.

Have you read this one?


message 88: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) Stacia I haven't, but I was approved. Several of my GR friends really loved it and I love the story concept of it. I guess it is written in a sort of verse, but it flows like a story. I am going to read it early next week.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments Thanks Hillary. :)

Stealing this info from Regina. The price of Angelfall has dropped from 2.99 down to 99 cents. If it's as good as she and a few others are saying, that looks like a great deal.

Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee

Nook : http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/angel...

Kindle : http://www.amazon.com/Angelfall-Penry...


message 91: by Vivian (new)

Vivian (_vivian) | 77 comments Totally worth it! Buy it and read it :D


message 92: by [deleted user] (new)

I got it!


message 93: by Leea (new)

Leea Finally me holding out has paid off, yay! Thanks for posting.


message 94: by Jenny (new)

Jenny (narcisse) | 1946 comments Destined by Jessie Harrell is $0.99 for the month of December. I haven't read it, but it has pretty good reviews and it's a mythology retelling that I've been wanting to pick up, about Psyche & Cupid.

Isamlq | 612 comments NG has The Nightmare Garden (Iron Codex, #2) by Caitlin Kittredge and Katana by Cole Gibsen (girl + ninja = different)...

Crap! I promised to stop making requests... oh well..


message 96: by Leea (new)

Leea Haha! The Ninja girl book looks fun!


message 97: by Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments At least you read most of what you request. I try to read one here and there, but fail most of the time. At least I do log my reviews over there when I remember.

So yeah...I said it in the currently reading topic, but this one's also up for request :

Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments You too? Sheesh, you and Brit got the jump on me. I won't be getting it until the weekend.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) | 5137 comments Kris,

I've noticed that 3 out of the 4 comments you've made in the group have all mentioned this particular book Enchantment, and I also notice on your profile that you're into marketing new and indie authors.

If this is a promotion for a friend or for your business, I'm going to have to ask that you move it to the promotions folder. This topic is for member-to-member sharing and not for the purpose of financial gain or author recognition.

If we don't hear anything back within the next day or two, the mods will probably choose to delete the post.

If this is not the case, please drop a quick note here that will clear things up for us. Thanks. :)
