Maybe the roulette wheel idea is correct. If so, the wheel apparently doesn't have "non-fiction" as one of the categories, nor any specific kind of non-fiction as one of its categories. Or possibly the wheel is rigged--"non-fiction" and some of its subcategories do show on the wheel, but the wheel is rigged, to where the wheel will never land on any of those categories. People can do that, you know. I would call for an investigation, and a special counsel, and the whole nine yards, to look into it, but I don't see any point to it now--the program is going to bite the dust in a few days anyway. I tell you, the brains of Americans are slowly turning into mush, what with them reading and listening to this fiction stuff. Turning to mush . . . .

Thank you, gabby98.
After reading your post, I searched my email for the phrase, "October is the last month". Turns out, store-news@amazon.com also emailed me that message, dated October 10, 2018 @ 10:29 PM. Like multiple Samsung offerings that have come and gone since I became a Samsung smartphone owner, the Kindle For Samsung Book Deals program was nice while it lasted. |

I also received the email on the 10th. Sad to see it go - but at least we still have the first reads thing!

Out of curiosity, I checked the Kindle for Samsung app today, and at the bottom main page where it shows the covers of your purchased books, I selected the Samsung Book Deals tab.
It showed four new books: Key Witness (Emily Etcitty Book 1) by Sandra Bolton Here in My Heart: A Novella (An Echoes of the Heart Novella Book 1) by Anna DeStefano Girl on the Moon by Jack McDonald Burnett The Undesirables by Chad Thumann If instead, you select Samsung Book Deals from the menu, you'll just see the message about the program shutting down. Anyway, I decided to buy Girl on the Moon, and I got it for $0.00, and the other books then showed as $1.99. It seems to me that they had already selected the books for November when the program was cancelled, and they're still showing up in the app. I don't know when these will go away. Perhaps tomorrow, since the program ends Nov. 1, today (not Oct. 31.) I also noticed while getting the URL's that Amazon's current price for all of these selections is $0.99, except for Girl on the Moon, which is $3.99. |

I bought one of those thinking it was free . But I was charged . Most of the books on the Samsung offer have not been brilliant books.
