I’m excited to announce the first in a series of HBHW Cookbooks that I am writing exclusively for Amazon Kindle. To celebrate, I am offering my very first kindle book on making jellies and jams free for the first 5 days. But hurry, after Sept. 3rd 2012, the price will go up (to a whoopping $2.99)

That’s one of the reasons why I’m so passionate about Amazon Kindle. It allows me to publish my recipe books at a price that’s affordable for anyone. And I’ll share some tips with you over the coming days on frugal e-reader options as well.

I would love to read this, but I don’t have a Kindle

I got this question via email quite a few times yesterday. Here’s the good news. You don’t need an Amazon Kindle. You can read the book on a variety of devices that have Kindle Apps. For example, there may be an app for your phone, ipod or ipad. You can get a full list off free kindle apps here.

Last but not least, you can read Kindle ebooks right on your computer via the “Cloud Reader“. I’ve been using that one myself and it works like a charm.

There are tons of free and low cost kindle books you can read and I’m hoping to add quite a few new ones to that list over the coming weeks and months.

For now, take a moment to download Homemade Jelly and Jam Recipes if you haven’t already done so and feel free to share with family, friends as well as via social media and blogs that the Kindle book can be downloaded free through Sept 3rd 2012.
