I’ve been playing with the Kindle application for the iPhone for a couple of weeks now. I have read two full books and numerous samples. If you have been holding off trying Kindle for your iPhone (or iPod touch), here are some free ebooks to get you started.

These books are currently free from Amazon, and are highly recommended.

His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik is the first in the Temeraire series — it’s a swashbuckling tale set in the Napoleonic era, with ships, guns and dragons. My brief review is here.

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson is a classic, chronicling the lives of the first (human) arrivals to Mars.

I haven’t read Blood Engines by T A Pratt, but it sounds interesting. A powerful immoral sorceress, her possessed sidekick and a former hollywood star are out to save San Francisco.

If you like alternate histories, try Settling Accounts : Return Engagement by Harry Turtledove. I’ve enjoyed the Colonization series from Turtledove before, this one looks promising as well.

Go ahead and download these four ebooks while they are free; you’ll save 40 bucks and get a good experience in reading on the Kindle. If you take the time to browse through the Kindle store on Amazon, I’m sure you’ll find more free ebooks.
