Read Kindle e-books on computers, smartphones, etc.


You don't need a Kindle device to read Kindle
 e-books.

You can read them on your computer (Windows and Mac),
and also on your smartphone, e.g. iPhone,
or on your tablet, e.g. iPad.

Just download a free Kindle app.

There are several of these free apps, and you can get them here, directly from Amazon, by clicking on the link below:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dig_arl_box?ie=UTF8&docId=1000493771

That means you can start reading any Kindle
e-book today, for instance:



Click on this link for the above book:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KI5HAS

and on this link for the book below:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZPVTCK



Both of these Kindle e-books cost
♥ less than a dollar each  ♥ 
-- both are only  US   $   0.99    each


Plus, you can read free samples of them --
on Amazon -- via the links I've given above.

At the top of the Amazon page, you'll see the picture of the book,
and can then Click to LOOK INSIDE!

To read a much longer sample -- for free -- i.e.  8 chapters of the book 

"I met you in that past life A" 

--  you can click on this link here:

http://serene-journey-to-happiness.blogspot.sg/2013/06/read-them-here-for-free-first-8.html

By the way, at the top of the Amazon page,
just under the title of each book, for example,
just below   I met you in that past life A    [Kindle Edition],
there's a "Like" button...   :-)

Additionally, after reading the books,


if you could  ♥ write a short  review  -- 

even if it's only 1 or 2 lines -- 

and post it on Amazon --

and on Goodreads

and on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and so on,

it would be wonderful, and I'd really appreciate it!


Thanks so very much for your time and your consideration.

Best wishes, Hugs, and God Bless.
