The book is free on Amazon without KU. It may not free for you due to your location.jthendersonphd wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 16:19 "Deadly Focus: A Vega and Middleton Mystery Kindle Edition" is the #BOTD for 6/15/18 and is ONLY available with a Kindle Unlimited trial. The same has been true for prior "free" Amazon downloads in my case. Signing out of my Amazon account makes no difference. Unable to enter any giveaway drawings as a result.

You can still enter by reading the free sample.jthendersonphd wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 16:19 "Deadly Focus: A Vega and Middleton Mystery Kindle Edition" is the #BOTD for 6/15/18 and is ONLY available with a Kindle Unlimited trial.

Take a screenshot of the problem and if you get a random win, reply to the email with the screenshot. I had one where I was asked to provide the amazon receipt, but that book hadn’t come from Amazon, it came from another site. A screenshot sorted the problem and I got my prize.

When the BORD is free on Amazon, one has to buy it and not just to read the sample in order to enter the Giveaway.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑04 Jul 2018, 23:53You can still enter by reading the free sample.jthendersonphd wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 16:19 "Deadly Focus: A Vega and Middleton Mystery Kindle Edition" is the #BOTD for 6/15/18 and is ONLY available with a Kindle Unlimited trial.

When it’s not available in your country, how do you buy it? I’m not saying go round the rules, I’m saying that sometimes the rules cannot be followed and in that case, a user should NOT lose all their credits.gali wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 03:05When the BORD is free on Amazon, one has to buy it and not just to read the sample.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑04 Jul 2018, 23:53You can still enter by reading the free sample.jthendersonphd wrote: ↑15 Jun 2018, 16:19 "Deadly Focus: A Vega and Middleton Mystery Kindle Edition" is the #BOTD for 6/15/18 and is ONLY available with a Kindle Unlimited trial.

One shouldn't enter the Giveaway on that date, then. This is a condition of the Giveaway.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 03:07When it’s not available in your country, how do you buy it?gali wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 03:05When the BORD is free on Amazon, one has to buy it and not just to read the sample.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑04 Jul 2018, 23:53

If you don’t enter the giveaway, you can lose weeks of credits. I did read that thread a while ago and there were people saying that the solution did not work in their country eg Nambia.gali wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 03:09One shouldn't enter the Giveaway on that date, then.

Indeed, but this is the policy. One should NOT enter the Giveaway without buying the free book. If anyone has any issue with the rules, he should privately contact Scott about it.Helen_Combe wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 03:14If you don’t enter the giveaway, you can lose weeks of credits.
