https://www.amazon.com/Ashok-Malhotra/e/B00502LCCI Amazon announces free kindle editions of books from time to time. Those who have a kindle reader or  any other device to read books would find it worth their while to make use of these opportunities to scout their vast libraries and save a lot of money to read some great classical works as well as modern literature or other books on virtually every subject under the sun. Their search tools make it easy to locate a book that you might have in mind or you may just like to browse through and select one that catches your fancy. This week for five days, from Sunday the 27 th of May to Thursday, Kindle editions of five of my books are free too. Do look up on my author page if you caught this post in time.
