**** DEAL OVER: As of 20120611.

Another free kindle I thought some might have interest in. I haven't read it, but the first review was glowing and looked relevant.

First Amazon Review:

> Five Star Final; Excellent; A "must read" for any "student" of brain-behavior relationships

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DKQQG4/

UPDATE: Still free at the US amazon at 2pm eastern time. Reports that it is not free at the UK site, which I verified. Since I can log in to the UK site from the US and see the price, I assume people in the UK could sign into the US site and buy it. If anyone gives that a try, let me know and I'll further update the top level.

UPDATE:  Free at amazon.fr. Can buy at the US site from the Netherlands. Can't buy from FR or US sites from UK.

I just came across this article that points out a Kindle Fire glitch: one that apparently lets you download books gratis if you cancel your purchase while the book is still downloading, and then quickly open it. The tablet downloads the book fully once it's been opened, letting you read it to your heart's content without actually having bought it.

This should be a great way for anyone wanting good(yet insanely expensive) Kindle books, provided this doesn't contradict your moral compunctions. Personally I neither own a Kindle Fire nor do I have a Kindle account, but just wanted to point this out for anyone interested here.

Of course, Amazon might have already fixed the glitch with a software update-but this has been strangely under-reported so maybe not.

After just spending some time browsing free nonficton kindle ebooks on Amazon, it occurred to me that it might be a good idea for SIAI/LW to publish for free download through Amazon some introductory LW essays and other useful introductory works like Twelve Virtues of Rationality and The Simple Truth.

People who search for 'rationality' on Google will see Eliezer's Twelve Virtues of Rationality and LW. It would nice if searching for rationality on Amazon also led people to similar resources that could be read on the Kindle with just one click. It would considerably expand the audience of potential readers (and LW contributors and SIAI donors).
