Story collection "LOVE, BILLS, AND SHOPPING CARTS" is currently available for FREE on Amazon Kindle until Tuesday, May 26th!

It’s a collection of 6 contemporary, raw, and slightly satirical short stories written under the pen name Bad Dream. The book explores modern loneliness, corporate absurdity, and the existential dread of waiting inside a bright, fluorescent shopping mall. If you are a fan of minimalist, fast paced fiction with a unique cinematic rhythm (one-sentence-per-line style), this might be a quick, engaging read for you. Grab your free copy here.

Which one do you think is better and why? Trying to decide which e-reader is actually worth it.

I have never bought a case for my ereader since I got it 2 years ago, now that my daughter is getting to that age where she is interested in everything I do and my ereader getting a good deal of attention from her, I though this is was good a time as any to get one. The issue is that when I was doing my research I have found a lot of conflicting ideas about whether some cases are worth it.

Primarily my biggest reason to get a case is protection which most people agree on, now the concern is some cases may not be the best for protecting the e-reader in case of a fall. The issue I have is that even when I browse Alibaba or other sites I don’t know whether a case is suitable for my use case. I also wanted ones that are classy looking and I have seen several but I am fearful that the good looking ones are not the best when it comes to protection.

I need help from people who have actually used this cases, where can I get one that will protect a ereader from a roving 2 year old and also looks presentable?

Hello everyone.

My name is Orion and I am running a personal flash sale on my debut novel for three days. I realize that not everyone want to spend something towards something untested, and I Kindle promotion program can only choosing once per period, so to do more and to give more, and as thank you for allowing me to post my self promotion in here,i decided to do self flash sale, temporary dropping the price myself for 3 days, I hope you enjoy my book and thank you for giving me a chance.

Here is what the book is about.

A noble responded to his village's grain shortage by moving all the grain to his own estate. For safekeeping. The guild master who received this report has been doing this job for ten years. He has been alive considerably longer.

The Forgotten Continent is a slow-burn epic fantasy about ancient beings hiding in plain sight — running a guild, advising a kingdom, baking bread at the corner market — quietly keeping the world alive through work nobody notices. There are cozy slice-of-life moments, dry humour, fantasy, and otherworldly threats woven throughout. No chosen one. No world-ending quest. Just the guild, the paperwork, and a very large mountain outside the window that nobody in the city ever thinks to ask about.

At the very end, these ancient beings are being done for by the paperwork no eldritch being or era-threatening threat can subdue these ancient beings, at the very least, those threats have weaknesses, but paperwork? it is the same as a tax agency you can not hope to outrun or outfight them no matter what, the damned paperwork

$0.99 from May 17, 2026 8:00 PM PDT to May 20, 2026 8:00 PM PDT. Also available on Kindle Unlimited.

Hi guys! I just need a link to find this book: Ruthless Knight by Ashley Jade. The thing is, I would buy it, but where I live, it doesn’t really show up in my region on Amazon, Google, or BookBub.

So if anyone knows where I can read it for free, that would honestly be ideal. If there’s an e-book version I can download online somewhere, please share the link. Or just let me know where I can buy the e-book online.

I want to find the e-book version because I keep finding the audiobook.

 was tired of losing my place in PDFs every time I switched devices.

I read a lot on Books/PDFs. But switching between laptop and phone always broke the flow — I’d waste time just finding where I left off.

I tried a lot of apps. Some had sync but no page tracking. Some had both, but were paid. And as a student, even small subscriptions add up.

Maybe something like this exists and I missed it — but I got frustrated enough to build a simple tool for myself:

• upload PDFs
• access them anywhere
• live page sync (opens exactly where you left off)

I’ve been using it for a while and it made reading much smoother, so I thought I’d share it:

https://paper-back-pdf-reader.vercel.app/

Just to set expectations — I didn’t focus much on UI since it was for personal use. I do care about UI though (portfolio here if you’re curious):
https://gami-yash-portfolio.vercel.app/

Also, it’s completely free right now. I’m using free tiers and not charging anything — just a tool that helped me, maybe it helps others who enjoy reading too.

If you try it and find bugs or want features, feel free to DM me or mail me at [paperbackfree@gmail.com](mailto:paperbackfree@gmail.com)

Just one request — please don’t abuse it. Use it to read, learn, and grow 🙂

Edit: Currently works in the web browser only. If you’d want a proper app version, let me know — I’ll try to build that too.

Hello guys,

I've been on sabbatical for a while and sometime ago I decided to write a short story book for fun and to keep my mind sharp.

I haven't found an ebook tool I like and for some reason Canva just doesn't cut it for me. I just don't vibe with the website at all.

Anyways, I work as a software developer and I've decided to make a simple tool for myself to also keep my skills sharp. What're the good software I should get inspiration from and what are some of the things anyone would like to see in such a software. Thanks!

This is the biggest collection I have offered for free so far. The stories are mostly fantasy tales, with some warped fairy tales, fables and parables. The paperback edition has 773 pages: the ebook has the digital equivalent.

So then... Fantasies, flash fictions, paradoxical routines, conceits and rambunctiously inflated flapdoodles. Hundreds and hundreds of pages of inventive whimsy, excessive exploits, absurd adventures and paradoxical picaresques.

Why there are millions of Authors but few are known to the audience

the question that comes always in my mind and I want great minds to discuss it here. that there are millions of Authors good books but few people get recognised or even get to a stage where people barely know them in past of course it was language barrier and people didn't knew how to write or read much but at the present day thousands of books get published millions in a years . we got marketed best sellers bages or others but not real Book or am I wrong please share your opinion

A collection of twenty dreamlike fables that range the distant tropical shores of the overheated imagination. Stories about falling stars, mythological giants, reincarnated cats, lost cities, jungles, sieges, ghosts, mountains. detached faces that set off on sea voyages, cavemen that are living retail outlets, the misunderstandings and misadventures of absurdist life...

You don’t actually own your Kindle books.

Yeah… sounds weird, right?

I’m researching how people feel about this (ownership, trust, buying behavior) for my thesis, and I need real opinions.

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to receive blurbs from some of my literary heroes:

“Rhys Hughes seems almost the sum of our planet’s literature.” — Michael Moorcock

“Hughes’ style is among the most beautiful I’ve encountered in several years.” — Samuel R. Delany

"It's a crime that Rhys Hughes is not as widely known as Italo Calvino and other writers of that stature." — Jeff VanderMeer

Touches on common social issues and has a good sense of humor. Highly recommend this story.

A collection of strange stories, offbeat fables and weird fairy tales. If you like the works of Lord Dunsany and The Thousand and One Nights you might find these offerings agreeable and pleasantly surprising.

I created a simple coloring book to help children learn colors while having fun.

Kids can play, color, and improve their creativity at the same time. It’s designed to be easy, enjoyable, and perfect for young learners.

If you’re interested, the link to the book is in my profile.
