we find great deals for you
It’s a new month, and April Fools Day to boot, but this post is no Fools joke! It is a new selection of Kindle First e-books, where Prime members can select one of the six choices for FREE and also start reading them immediately. These are pre-release ebooks that will get released May 1st for most people. Non-Prime members can buy one of the six for $2 and read them right away as well.
And just like that, March 2017 is here, which means, for Prime members, a new e-book pre-release freebie is available to get right now and read right now before its official April 2017 release through the Kindle First program. If you are not a Prime member, you can purchase one of the six for $2.
Without further ado, here are the six choices for March 2017:
As usual, if none of these “speaks to you” (so to speak), you don’t have to get one immediately. You have until March 31st (2017) to make a choice. In a few more days, each book will have a lot more reviews as the “early adopters” and voracious readers go through them. Then you can use the customer reviews to figure out what to get, or what to avoid (reviews seem to be better at this than the former).
Time flies these days and we are now in February 2017, which means, among many other things, a new round of six pre-release e-books are loaded up on Kindle First. These will be released to the general public on March 1st, but if you are a Prime member, you can get one of those six RIGHT NOW and start reading it RIGHT NOW for FREE. If you are not a Prime-member, you can buy one right now for $2. The rest will be available to everyone on March 1st for $5 each. Many of these end up appearing in Kindle Unlimited, so if you are a subscriber to that service, you can bookmark them until then…
So, without further delay, the six choices are:
You have until February 28 in 2017 to make a choice, but don’t wait until 11:59pm of that day. Having said that, I tested it in January, I made my pick late on the 31st, after 9pm pacific time, and it was all good. Amazon is in the pacific time zone, so things on their website chance on the pacific time zone day-change – such as the Gold Box deals.
January 2017 is here and with it, we get the first round of Amazon Kindle First free e-book options for Prime members. As before, you pick one of the six pre-release e-book choices for free if you are a Prime member. If not, you pay $2. If you want to read more than one of the six books, you have to wait until they are released on the first of the following month (February 1st in this case).
The six choices are *drumroll*
As usual, if none of them screams at you (READ ME NOW!), just wait a few more days until they pick up more reviews. Since they are pre-release, Kindle First-ers are the only ones reviewing them. You have until January 31st in 2017 to make a pick from this lot. eBooks don’t run out 🙂
If you are a Prime member and a book fan, the start of a new month is extra special, because you get one more ebook for free, a pre-release one at that, as part of the Kindle First program. Non-Prime members can buy one of the six choices for $2. All these will be released to the general population on January 1st, in 2017.
Your choices for December 2016 are…
As usual, you don’t have to hurry and pick one right now. You have until December 31st to make your choice, and they are e-books, so they won’t “run out” of copies. IF none of them stands out, you can wait for 1-2 weeks until they get a lot more reviews, which can be helpful is figuring out what to avoid (more so than what to get) 🙂
Yes dear calendar aficionados, a new month has arrived! It is November 2016, and with it, among many other things, we have a new set of six pre-release Kindle e-books for Prime members to pick from, as part of their monthly Kindle First benefit. You pick one of the six for FREE and you can start reading it right away. These e-books will be officially released to the general public on December 1st, and then you can buy them rest of them if you like more than one. If you are not a Prime member, you can purchase one of the six right now for $2.
Without further delay, the six choices are…
Since these are pre-release books, they have very few reviews right away, so if none of the authors or subjects or titles scream “pick me now”, you can wait for 1-2 weeks for more people to read them and post reviews, and then use the reviews to make an educated guess on which one to pick. You have until November 30 in 2016 to make a choice, just don’t wait until 11:59pm of that day 🙂
PS: I just realized that abbreviations of some genres totally change their meaning, “Lit fiction” is not quiet the same thing, and “Contempt fiction” is also something totally different 🙂
Time flies dear old friends, we are just three months away from 2017 already. But one of the benefits of time flying is that we have a new month, it’s October 1st, which means a new round of unreleased e-books are offered up on Kindle First. Prime members can select one of the six options for FREE and read it right now (instead of the official November 2016 e-release date). Non-Prime members can purchase one of the options for $2 and read it right away.
And the choices for October 2016 are *imaginary drum roll*
As usual, if none of these strike your fancy immediately, you don’t have to rush. You have until October 31st in 2016 to make a choice. They won’t run out since these are digital e-books 🙂 Their review profiles will fill up in the next few are more of the voracious readers go through them and post their reviews. Having said that, don’t wait until 10/31/16 at 11:58pm to decide 🙂
A new month is here, which means, among many other things, that Amazon Prime members can get another free pre-release e-book from a choice of six that as participating in the Kindle First program. You can read one of those six books for FREE right now. The rest of them will become available on October 1st. Non-Prime members can purchase one for $2. The rest are priced $5 for all.
Without further ado, here are the six choices for September 2016:
As usual, if none of these jumps out at you, you can simply wait for a few days until they get more reviews. The more reviews, the easier it may be to decide. Remember, they won’t run out of these, so you don’t have to hurry up and get one. You have until September 30 in 2016, but don’t wait until 11:59pm on that day 🙂
You can see them all at the Kindle First page.
It’s that time of the month again, a new month is upon us, and a new selection of e-books has been loaded at the Kindle First page. These are new e-books that are scheduled to be released to the general population on September 1st, but if you are a Prime member, you get one of the six for free AND you get to read it right away. If you are not a Prime, you can buy one for $2 and read it right away.
Without further ado, the choices for August 2016 are:
Strategically, it’s best to wait a few days before you pick one unless something calls out to you. Since they are pre-release, the only ones reviewing them are other fellow KindleFirsters, so it will take a few days for them to build review profiles that have enough of them to be helpful in deciding. You have until August 31st in 2016 to pick from these, but don’t wait until 11:59pm on that day 🙂 They will change on 9/1/16.
Surprisingly perhaps there are no fantasy or science fiction books in this month’s choices either 🙁
It’s July 1st, and the start of a new month means a new six pack. What??? A new six pack of e-books for Amazon Prime members to pick from. One of the Prime Benefits is one FREE pre-release e-book from a choice of six every month. These are books that eventually appear in Kindle Unlimited (KU) as well, so if you are not a Prime member but you are a KU subscriber, you can read them for free next month after they are officially released.
So here are the six choices for July 2016:
Since these are brand new releases, they have very little in reviews, so if none of them jumps out at you, simply wait for a week or two, and by them there should be enough reviews to potentially help you make a decision. Remember, you have until the end of the month (July 31st) to pick one, so unless you need something to read right now, just add an entry in your calendar to recheck again in a couple of weeks.
Interestingly, this is the first month in a while where there are no fantasy or science fiction books. They are typically one of the six.
A new month is here, that’s right, it’s June 2016 and among the many things this month brings is a new selection of e-books for Prime members to pick from as part of the Kindle First program, one of the many Prime benefits.
As usual, you pick one free pre-release from a choice of six for FREE and you get to read it right now, before its official release on July 1st. Many of these end up in Kindle Unlimited (KU), so if you like more than one and you are a KU subscriber, check there once they go live.
So here we go, the choices for June 2016 are:
As usual with these, since they are brand new, there are very few reviews on the first day of the month, so if none of them stands out for you, you can simply wait for a few days and monitor the reviews to see if anyone emerges as a good candidate. You have until 6/30/16 to pick one of these, so there’s no rush. They won’t run out of e-books 🙂
If you are a Prime member, one of the many benefits is a free pre-release e-book from a choice of 4 or 6 every month. The choices change on the 1st of every month, and you can pick one per month. If none of them speak to you immediately, wait a few days until they pick up more customer reviews ~ sometimes those can be helpful in deciding.
Without further delay, the May 2016 choices are:
To see the options and read customer reviews of them, check Kindle First page by 5/31/16. Here’s a partial screenshot of that page:
If you are a Prime member, one of your included benefits is Kindle First. Every calendar month, you can get a free pre-release e-book from a choice of six e-books, and read it one month before the rest of the world.
The choices for April 2016 are:
You can see the available choices at the Kindle First page. Happy reading 🙂
Since these just came out, it make take a few days before they build up enough reviews for you to get helpful feedback on which one to pick. Remember, you have until April 30 in 2016 to pick one, but don’t wait until the last minute. The options do not roll over. If you don’t pick an ebook during a particular month, it doesn’t carry forward.
March 2016 is here, so if you are an Amazon Prime member, it means you can get another pre-release e-book for FREE! You have six pre-release ebooks to pick from. You get to read that one right now. The rest of the books will be available to everyone on April 1st in 2016. Many of these eventually make it to Kindle Unlimited as well, so that’s another thing to consider.
If none of them speaks to you right away, just give them a week or two. More and more people will read them and publish reviews, and you can use the reviews to better help you make a pick. It is a use it or lose it monthly freebie, so you lose nothing by picking a 50-50 ebook versus picking nothing.
So here we go, the choices for March 2016 are:
It’s February already, and with it, we have the Superbowl and Valentine’s but also, if you are a Prime member, you get one FREE pre-release e-book from a choice of six options. The one you get for free, you can start reading immediately. The rest of them will become available for purchase to everyone on March 1st, and they will also be added to Kindle Unlimited (if you are a subscriber).
If none of the ebooks below speak to you just yet, you may want to wait for a week or so for more people to read them and write more reviews. Often (but not always) the reviews can be helpful in figuring out which one to get. You have until February 29 (2016) to make a choice:
You can see all the selections at the Kindle First page. Keep in mind, the selections change at the 1st of every month, so if you are reading this in the future, you will see a different list of ebooks over there.
