Now all of you can experience for yourself how Kindle freebies wind up locking you in to that platform!
Today’s Kindle Nation Daily brings this post: KND Kindle Free Book Alert, Monday, May 2: OVER 60 BRAND NEW FREEBIES THIS MORNING!
And there are a bunch of free Vook digital books there. But not all of them are true Vooks — a mixture of text and audio/video. Only five are.
Here are the direct links (although you’re cheating yourself by not looking at all the other great freebies in the KND post):
Western Civilization 101: The Animated TextVook [52.6 MB]
American Revolution 101: The Animated TextVook [27.6 MB]
Civil War 101: The Animated TextVook [27.5 MB]
Ancient Greece 101: The Animated TextVook [42.8 MB]
World War I 101: The Animated TextVook [58.4 MB]
Vooks only work with iOS right now. Amazon hasn’t updated their software for desktops or Android to read (play?) them.
However: Grab these anyway. You don’t have to download them now. Just take ownership of them. They will remain on Amazon’s servers as your property in your account until the time comes when you can actually read them on something other than an iOS device.

Got ‘em. ONE of them I actually NEED (American Revolution). We’ll see how they stack up.
Want screenshots?
Only of Endgame.
Have you noticed over at Barnes and Nobles, there are many more in the series that are animated? However at BN, they are only supported on the Nook Color. I guess the Nook Wifi/3G can’t handle the video, like a Kindle.
I am guessing that some of the non-animated textVooks at Amazon.com will eventually become animated. However, I am sure that they will most likely have a different ISBN number, meaning that those of us holding the non-animated versions won’t get free upgrades.
