I’m trying something new with most of the Fortune Bay ebooks – putting them into the Kindle Unlimited program for a few months. That’s right, they’ll all be free through the Kindle Unlimited lending library,as well as for sale on Amazon.
The
catch? The ebooks will not be for sale on other online platforms.
(Sorry kobo, nook and apple readers! But read on for how to access this
platform and KU with out a kindle e-reader.)
What is Kindle Unlimited?
It’s a package where for $9.99 a month you can download and read as many books from the Kindle Unlimited library as you want. Over one million books are free to subscribers in the Kindle Unlimited platform. By joining Kindle Unlimited you can take advantage of those offers.
Don’t have a kindle e-reader? Don’t panic!
You can download a free kindle app (circled in the picture above) for your phone or tablet (or computer for that matter) and read the books there. To get set up, go to your apps store on the device of your choice and find the free Kindle app. Or click on the link, like the one I’ve circled on the example above. (Of course, my ebooks and print books will still be for sale on Amazon if you decide not to join KU.)
I am doing the reverse myself – reading my kobo books on my phone and tablet these days. It works great.
Americans can find KU on amazon.com, and customers in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, India, China, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Canada and Australia can sign-up for Kindle Unlimited in their local online Amazon store. Amazon is planning to continue expanding the service to other countries soon.
Already have a kindle?
Then do as I’ve done and install an app on your phone, too. That way you can Sync with your e-reader and pick up the story any time you have a few minutes to fill – in line at the bank, waiting for kids after sports, wherever you are.
And, of course, if you have already subscribed to Kindle Unlimited, you will be able to read the whole Fortune Bay series for free! (Except Lake of Dreams, the book I save exclusively for members of my readers group, and Starlight and Tinsel.)
Summer of Fortune
The Good Neighbor

I’m excited about this. I hope you are too!
