FREE/BARGAIN — Romance & Discussion
It’s midnight GMT so Happy New Year!
As requested, here is an outline of the purpose of this thread: We point out free and bargain romances to each other, and recommend certain books that are/were free (or the opposite!). Because Kindle freebies are easiest to find, the majority of the books listed are from Amazon, but freebies and bargains from other retailers and in other formats are more than welcome! In case no retailer is specifically mentioned in a post, it is safe to assume it's for Amazon US. Be aware that many freebies are only free for a day (or sometimes not even that long), so grab them fast! In addition to the freebies, sales, and coupons we do a weekly purchased/read roundup (voluntary only, but it’s fun to use Calibre’s virtual library feature to take a screengrab in cover view ![]() Be sure to check the last page of 2016's thread for any deals you may have missed |

It's not New Years yet on our side of the pond, but it's never too early to send best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy 2017!!!

It's by board time, the same as the last few years since we started with the annual threads rather than monthly.

I looked thru books I put into Calibre this year and I can not pick just one as the best. Impossible. So many of my favorite authors released multiple books this past year, I can't settle one one overall winner.

Is it possible to gift an ebook thru Kobo? If not them what other retailer sells epubs? Not including iTunes or B&N. Off the top of my head there are not any that I can think of.

Smashwords sell epubs. So do Samhain Publishing if you buy directly from them.
Not sure how either one is about gifting though. |

eBooks.com will let you buy a book as a gift, and apparently it results in a redeemable voucher code. You can try it with one of the Kensington freebies from this thread, which all show the “Give this book to a friend” option.
Smashwords will also let you gift freebies and purchased books. No idea what happens with either site if the recipient already has/doesn't want the title. |

Kobo Australia has the first three books in Eloisa James' "Happy Ever After" series for $1.99. I don't know how long the deal will last.
