"Daily KOS suits me."
"Until I got my Kindle, I hadn't visited DailyKOS."
"The dozen or more daily posts make the Daily Kos subscription a great value and I love catching up on the posts as I lie in bed each night."
"I don't mind paying a small subscription price for the Kindle version of the blog because it will help support all the talented writers who invest time and effort to keep us informed."
"Excellent source of information."
"The bizarre range of reviews should tell you to check for yourself."
"It is this cream that is downloaded throughout the day to your Kindle, replete with links to significant sites and original material for further exploration. You will have to turn on the wireless to pursue links to online material, whether it's non-Kos sites or links to the "High Impact Diaries" and choice comments compiled by each day's "Rescue Rangers" (who monitor the universe so you don't have to). However, most of the day's best material is downloaded to your Kindle for off-line consumption, so you'll be able to read "Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up" (a pointed, sometimes hilarious summation of what the media biggies have written that day) in the lead-lined hospital waiting room. The only thing I DO NOT LIKE about my DailyKos subscription is that, for some reason, the type is very much smaller than all the other sites I go to. I have to set my Kindle type up on four or five to be able to read it, and then bump it back down if I follow a link to another web site."
In 1977, he won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary, for his newspaper columns, and garnered awards for his Newsweek columns, including a finalist citation in the Essays and Criticism category of the 1979 National Magazine Awards competition. Eight collections of his Newsweek and newspaper columns have been published: "The Pursuit of Happiness and Other Sobering Thoughts" (Harper & Row, 1978); "The Pursuit of Virtue and Other Tory Notions" (Simon & Schuster, 1982); "The Morning After: American Successes and Excesses 1981-1986" (Macmillan, 1986); "Suddenly: The American Idea Abroad and at Home 1986-1990" (The Free Press, 1990); "The Leveling Wind: Politics, the Culture & Other News 1990-1994" (Viking, 1994); "The Woven Figure: Conservatism and America's Fabric, 1994-1997" (Scribner, 1997); "With a Happy Eye But ... America and the World 1997--2002," (The Free Press, 2002); and "One Man's America: The Pleasures and Provocations of Our Singular Nation," (Crown Forum, 2008). Other books include: "Statecraft as Soulcraft" (Simon & Schuster, 1983), a work of political philosophy that originally appeared as the Godkin Lecture at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard in 1981; "The New Season: A Spectator's Guide to the 1988 Election" (Simon & Schuster, 1987) which prefaced the 1988 presidential campaign; and "Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball" (Macmillan, 1989) which topped national best-seller lists in the number-one position for over two months.

"He comes from a conservative viewpoint, and unlike many of our friends on the Left, he does not hesitate to bring both sides to the dock."
"Great insites - think he went a bit overboard on Planned Parenthood."
"This blog isn't dependent on links like many others."
"Sadly Amazon has classified this content as a blog which for reasons that escape me mean one cannot highlight or otherwise use the Kindle annotation feature."
"His thinking is so clear that one wonders how we could have gotten ourselves in the difficult circumstances our country is experiencing at this time."
"Mr. Will has a great writing still that really sucks you into the article."

Whether observing the differences between genders and generations or taking a wry but sympathetic look at life in the twilight years, Crane's good-natured wit and dry humor are sure to please readers of all ages.

"Subscribing to this blog will take all the guess work out of what e-books are worth downloading to your Amazon Kindle."
"Another thing I like is that the blog covers a wide variety of books, so there's something for people who like all sorts of books."
"Before I found this blog, it took too much time looking for interesting titles, which meant I did not get to that very often."
"This blog is really great as it helps find free e-books, which saves time and effort for the reader."
"I find it very difficult to find good free books to read on the kindle."
"I subscribe to a few blogs covering free books for the Kindle, so The Best Free Ebooks for Kindle, updated daily by Good Reads sounded interesting as yet another source. Taking a look at my Kindle 2 as of this date, I see the following, and I'm listing the timestamp with abbreviated titles: * February 8, 10:00 pm: Suzanne Woods Fisher's book Keeper... * February 7, 10:00 pm: Best of TOC 2012 free for Kindle for a limited time. * February 6, 10:00 pm: Kaplan's book Intro to SAT... * February 6, 12:00 am: Jim Kraus's book Laugh-a-Day Book of Bloopers... And that's it: there are no more. There are other "free Kindle book" blogs out there, and if anyone has a favorite or alternative they've discovered, please feel free to leave a comment. Note that the blog author has changed part of the product info from "We review at least five new books every day" to read "We review at many as three new books every day." UPDATE 2/16/2012: The author of this blog never lived up to his original statement "The Best Free Ebooks for Kindle, updated daily," and even with his revision of "We review at many as three new books every day" the author has never lived up to that attempt... and he needs to check his words before posting even that claim. Maybe he thinks that his feeble attempt of posting two "reviews" of the same book, Kaplan's Intro to SAT on February 14th will placate some, but to this reader it's not worth the time to see double-postings like this."
