On the Amazon Free eBooks: Collections page, Amazon used to list two collections - their classics and out-of-copyright collection (which, FWIW, is available from Project Gutenberg without the hassle of using Amazon), and their Limited Time Offers collection, a list of books that are for a limited time available free.

They have changed that page to remove the Limited Time Offers, which, frankly, is the only collection I care about (see above Gutenberg comment), so I’m placing it here so others can use the page…at least as long as the Big A decides to allow their computers to maintain it.

Darned shame they felt the need to remove that link. Granted, some of the Limited Time Offers aren’t great (sample chapters, short stories not books, etc.), but I’ve still scored a bunch of stuff from there. I “bought” bunches of free cookbooks and am always watching for new Gooseberry Patch titles to show up there, some novels I really hope to find time to read someday, and even some 2012 calendars. I sort the Limited Time Offers page by popularity, which generally percolates the newest stuff up to the top, and when I see something I’d like, “purchase” it immediately since tomorrow the book’s price might be back up to $9.99. (Of course I have also purchased ebooks from both Amazon and Barnes and Noble for real cash money, but free is too nice a price to pass up.

And no, I don’t own a Kindle, I own an Android tablet. And no, I don’t use Kindle for Android since it’s pretty buggy, I use another ebook reader. And yes, I know the Digital Rights Management imposed on the ebooks is supposed to prevent me from doing so, but all of us here know how much I loathe DRM and so remove it at my earliest opportunity on general principle.

Anyway, if you read ebooks and have an Amazon account, check out the free ebook list. Frequently.
