I use it to put my own writing on my Kindle for proofreading. It will convert pdf and rtf to Mobi (Kindle format).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311137731266031785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-79022582116873834462010-12-29T02:22:09.874-06:002010-12-29T02:22:09.874-06:00It's already #4.

If you want to save some money, you can email the file to name@free.kindle.com and it will transfer over to your kindle next time you turn on the wifi in your kindle (and also send you an email with the file in it).<br /><br />Also, good luck on your book sales!Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-4470034079987221772010-12-28T21:33:10.365-06:002010-12-28T21:33:10.365-06:00Meghan, T is right-- the publisher staff decided. ...Meghan, T is right-- the publisher staff decided.

It's good exposure for the book and for the author, and sometimes for the house. It can translate into increased earnings, though the mechanics of that are a bit complicated.<br /><br />TheresaEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-29212185777340348232010-12-28T20:45:22.102-06:002010-12-28T20:45:22.102-06:00I downloaded the book and I RTed Theresa's twe...I downloaded the book and I RTed Theresa's tweet! :)<br /><br />As a (currently unpubbed) writer, I'm curious about something. Who decides to offer a book free on kindle (or other e-readers)? The author or the publisher? And what is the motivation behind it? I mean obviously being #5 on amazon's top 100 free ebooks is awesome, but how does it relate to sales, etc.?Meghan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12447149254455271636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-61037417635280949672010-12-28T19:44:05.273-06:002010-12-28T19:44:05.273-06:00I already own your book in trade :) but I alerted ...I already own your book in trade :) but I alerted the twitterverse about the freebie.
