PLEASE. Do everyone a favor and write an Amazon review if you end up reading a book (or trying to and giving up in disgust). It does not have to be much. Just tell what you think of the book. By the way, many times I have found the 1 and 2 star reviews on self published works to be far more revealing about the book than the more stellar reviews.
Most times these books are only free for a day or two, so you have to grab them while you can. Worry about whether you really want to read it later if it seems interesting. And be careful, they can change from free to not free at any time. I have also decided to list books for no more than 3 days in a row to avoid cluttering up the posts, unless there is some reason I think the book deserves extra attention.

As is typical, there are several religious and recipe books on the list today. I don't call them out because they don't interest me. Click on the link above and search through the Free List Tab if you are interested in such books.
A Little Bit of Everything For Dummies
[#19. 2nd day. I have several of the books in the Dummies series. They tend to be pretty good, and very helpful in getting started in a particular area. This appears to be a slice of what is to be found in the series. I don't think it is great literature or anything, but it is one of the great success stories in modern publishing.]
Starliner
[#27. 2nd day. I have read this one before. It is pretty good. I think I bought it from the Baen website a long while back. It seems to be a free book now. Drake is a good author, one of my favorites. This is a little off from his best works which IMO are military SF, but still a decent story.]
Timecaster Supersymmetry
FUNNY! SEXY! ACTION-PACKED!
Chicago 2064: Forecast the Past
A libertarian utopia of biofuels, legalized drugs, and casual sex. There hasn't been any violent crime in years.
Until now...
Talon Avalon is a Timecaster; a cop who is able to look back in time and view crimes that have already happened. But that was before he was framed by an alternate version of himself from another dimension. Now he's being hunted in this world, and countless parallel worlds, as the biggest mass-murderer in history.
While trying to save his kidnapped wife and clear his name, Talon must fight to prevent a series of mishaps that could destroy the multiverse, along with the very fabric of spacetime. He only has a few hours to save an infinity of humanity. All it will take is guts, his fists, some high tech weaponry, and enough strength and savvy to survive genetically mutated monsters, homicidal robots, a zombie apocalypse, and a plethora of erotic encounters.
Time is not on his side.
Featuring all of the action, thrills, and humor of other Konrath books, but set in an outrageous never-before-seen future, the Timecaster series is ecopunk on super steroids. Add in healthy doses of sex, some characters from Konrath's previous books (Talon is Jack Daniels's grandson), and a lot of outrageous ideas about technology, society, and politics, and Timecaster Supersymmetry is a book that will appeal to anyone who likes to be entertained, even if they don't dig on sci-fi.
