Best products from r/freekindle

Since my suspenseful short story is receiving great reviews on Amazon, I’m going to make it free on 7/16/13. The story is available here: http://www.amazon.com/Overtime-in-the-Woods-ebook/dp/B00D3WOE0E

This is my third release and I appreciate all the feedback from people and the hundreds of downloads I’ve received so far. Check out a few quotes from Amazon reviewers:

“A MATTER OF CHOICES…Well crafted suspense here and much food for thought…The author builds this feeling; a feeling of the unknown and implied “bad things could happen,” very skillfully. It is also a story of choices; of doing the right thing after all the facts are known and is everything as it seems?…But I tell you truthfully, this young writer most certainly has the potential and I suspect that we will be hearing much from him on down the road….” – Don Blankenship (Hall of Fame, Top 50 Reviewer, Vine Voice – Amazon.com).

"Overtime in the Woods"“A creepy backwoods thriller…4 1/2 Stars…well written with a accomplished sense of pace and timing…Overall, an enjoyable short thriller, well written….” – Ray Nicholson (Top 1000 Reviewer – Amazon.com)

“Quirky with a touch of Fraughtness…On the strength of this though I may just be tempted to look at the other short stories put out by this author which can be seen here or here…” -Tom Stronach (Amazon.co.uk)

“Thought-provoking dilemma…The unexpected moral quandary in which Investigator Lacey finds himself is richly nuanced and nicely presented in this little novella which ends on a “The Lady, or the Tiger?” note.” – Judith Paley (Vine Voice, Amazon.com)

“Striking and effective…It’s a gripping and suspenseful read that I easily swallowed in one quick read on a long bus ride, and I was compltely engulfed by it throughout. O’Reilly does a masterful job with pacing and building up suspense…it’s this perfect build-up and constant feeling of unease and dread that makes it a very engaging and effective read; it keeps the reader intrigued throughout, and then leaves them with some very interesting questions about the moral implications it raises. A very solid story by a promising young author…” – Itamar Katz (Amazon.com)

“Very enjoyable short story…This is a well-written suspenseful tale that captures the reader’s interest from page one and holds it throughout the entire reading…” – Israel Drazin (Top 1000 Reviewer, Vine Voice, Amazon.com)

“Short, enjoyable story…Moral values are in question when an investigator attempts to collect evidence of fraud. When the target and the investigator meet, a choice must be made. I was interested in the story and the characters although I have never been a big fan of short stories. I always want more information. I would recommend this story as a quick read.” – Debra Miller (Amazon.com)

Thanks to all!

Information should be free. Paper books are a physical product which I would think reasonable to pay for, but information costs nearly nothing to distribute.

Let's use a very hypothetical model. Let's say that a particular paperback book costs $1 to produce (probably less, but still). They are priced at $5 each. Sold in a local book store, the store gets $2 from that purchase price. The publisher get $2. The author gets $1.

That same book is offered as an e-book, which costs nothing to duplicate, beyond the basic expenses of operating a website, let's say just considering the logistics of a large company that it costs an average of about $0.10 per copy (again, probably much less).

If the book is offered as an eBook for the same price (which, from a consumer standpoint, is almost reasonable). $5, less the $0.10 per copy charge, leaves $4.90. Amazon takes about 20%, I think, so about $1. The author still only gets a dollar. That leaves the publisher with $4 per book. Why are they entitled to get DOUBLE from each sale? Its just greed.

I pay for some newer books, for example the Joe Ledger novels which are both fantastic reads AND priced slightly cheaper as Kindle books instead of paperbacks. Anything that costs more than a paperback, or was written more than a few years ago, I feel is justifiably pirated.

Dude. Carrion Comfort! Can I kiss your toes? :D


Thank you!!
