Of course, if you're anything like me you'll already being doing a regular search for "Endeavour Press" in the Kindle Store. They seem to have taken over Stackpole's former role as the leader in military history ebook freebies. Great for us, I just hope it's working out for them as a sound marketing strategy.

So you can just search for Endeavour Press then? Also, I noticed Amazon is making Kindle Free versions of post-copyright books (Churchill's River War, etc.), can they be searched as a "type" also? (I usually get my Freebie heads up from Youse Guise and DailyFreebooks.com, so any other avenue I can stroll down would be welcome.

DailyFreeBooks is great, the only reason I do a search on Amazon for Endeavour Press is because they do freebies all the time at the moment, so it saves wading through the chaff. It also means I pick up on interesting stuff in categories other than History. I simply select Kindle Store, search for "Endeavour Press" the sort by Price: Low to High, works for other publishers too. If you browse to a subject ie. Military History then sort by Price: Low to High all the freebies, including the out of copyright ones appear first.

Snagged the book mentioned today and took Dayglowill's advice, found some good stuff…or at least a new way to search and score. Thanks again.
