We need a free Kindle master thread like on FW. So we don’t have FS clogged with all of the Kindle freebies, of which many are vanity press, or what fivetalents stated above.

IIRC, individual kindle books were initially allowed to be posted on FW until reletively recently when the free stuff forum began to be flooded with individual threads for very poor quality free kindle books (typically written by self-published authors, recently published, and having no/a very low number of reviews). This glut of useless posts was what led to the creation of the official free Kindle master thread that all kindle books were required to be posted in to prevent the abuse.
IMHO, the problem with doing that is that there are regularly high quality free Kindle books by well known authors, published by high quality/established publishers, and that are very highly rated with a large number of high quality reviews. When these quality freebies are lumped into a master thread with lower quality ebooks, most people won’t see them, so I think high quality kindle books should be posted individually here (we’ve had a number of really good ones posted here already).
I think we won’t have to resort to a free Kindle master thread if poor/questionable quality books are only occasionally posted (including members with several free kindle books to post at the same time combining them in one thread instead of creating multiple different new threads in quick succession).
If it gets to the point where a master thread is needed, I think it should only be for the titles with unknown authors, recent publication dates, low/no reviews, and no established publisher (i.e., self-published/vanity press).

@fivetalents That sounds like a viable option.

Ugh, yeah, that’s powerful. Reading a book like this can really change your life upside down. It’s more about commerce, anyway, not ecommerce, but it explains you a lot of stuff that normally, you can’t know. It’s about all of the market solutions, how they constantly fool us with those discounts and why it’s not a good solution to use a discount card. I also know a place where you can find information like that, it’s E-commerce industry reporter. There are some of the best reports on this topic that you might like.
