I just wanted to share another FREE ebook at Amazon that I thought our Free Republic readers might enjoy. It's titled Survival Prepping: When it hits the fan, have a plan. It has some good information. Again it's FREE. There are so many good readers here, I wanted to share it. If you get a chance to leave a review that would be great but not required. The kindle has opened up a new way of keeping and reading books and I hope you enjoy the information. Enjoy! It will be FREE for the next 5 days.
Thanks for the heads up. And thanks to the authors for making this available.
“Free”?? What’s the catch?? Do I have to give my email address??
Thanks.
Danke!
Ping.
The catch is that it’s available via Amazon’s “Kindle Unlimited.” After a 30 day free trial you pay $10/month for other books that are “free”. No thanks!
and it is also available for purchase for $0.00.

Caution is warranted when searching, buying or using anything on Amazon, as with Google, and other Silicon valley surveillance services.
Your complete history of interests are kept imperpetuity and shared with data brokers for commercial and gov’t data-mining, ie: the federal government’s Behavioral Health citizen profile database that went into effect via Obama’s Sept 15 2015 Executive Order.
If a product is offered for “free”, it is because you’re really the product.

Actually this has nothing to do with Amazon, etc. At least directly. These ‘giveaways’ are strictly author/publisher driven.
An author with a number of books, especially books in a series, will put the first one online free, or at a reduced price, to get you hooked on the series so you’ll buy the rest.
There are services like Freebooksy and Robin Reads that authors use to get the word out.
Every thing is not a conspiracy. Most things are, yes, but not everything. And not this.
I get them via my fb homesteading & prepper feeds. And about 90% or so are FREE. Just have the kindel app for your computer or tablet or what ever you are using. I have over 2000 e-books in my collection. and I back them up about every month or so, to a flash drive that I keep secured in a a protected locker & other places.
I don't have Kindle Unlimited and I was able to get it totally free for my Kindle app on my tablet. I do have Amazon prime. Might make a difference.
You missed the broader point completely.
The purpose of my message was to remind individuals that Amazon collects and shares All of your search, purchase and download history and shares that with anyone they damn well want to, be it commercial or gov’t entities.
Some discrete prep minded persons may Not want Amazon, data brokers, and the gov’t to label their citizen profile as: “Preppers” as a result of downloading a “free” prepper survival guide at Amazon.
