However, in the midst of those errors I managed to 'purchase' the 9 free books - plus a couple of others. Immediately after that purchase I was unable to download them to my desktop but I was able to download them to my iPhone; a few hours later I was able to download them to my desktop. The problems must have been temporarily resolved or maybe there are a lot of people making purchases and overloading their servers? Based on my experience, I'm guessing that if you keep trying you will eventually succeed! rock on! peter Jamie,

Several of them looked like worth the time to read so I grabbed the whole lot of them just in case there's another diamond in the noise. Thanks for the tip James, Amazon had done zip to promote this give away. I just got all nine off Amazon for my Kindle with zero issues and zero cables.
