Bufo Calvin is the creator of the I Love My Kindle blog and The Measured Circle’s Geek Time Trip

Interview starts at 9:49 and ends at 36:45 

"If you want to watch 'Devil Girl from Mars' you can go and watch it on this site. What’s happening so far is that I’m having a great time with it. I’m adding stuff to it. Virtually no one else ever goes there. I kind of feel like I’m up in my attic, and I put all these things on the wall and that’s great and I’m sort of obsessed with the idea of that. But nobody is ever coming up the ladder into the attic at this point."

Ken Gunther’s list of free eBook sources:

www.freebooksy.com has an amazing collection of free books. I am on their mailing list and every day get an email with links to free books available from Amazon. You can filter your list and only get notified about books available in your favorite genres (science fiction, legal thriller, etc)

 www.bookbub.com - every day I get an email from the folks at Bookbub with a list of books available for free, 99 cents and $1.99.

The above sites apparently carefully monitor amazon.com and when Amazon is having a free book promotion I get notified by email.

I also use ebook.bike - This site used to be called TUEBL.ca which is an acronym for The Ultimate E-Book Library. You need to go to the web site and can search for the title or author you are interested in. You can download the books as Epub or text files and then use a tool like Calibre to convert them to azw files for the Kindle. You need to click on the download link and then "Download Epub" or "Download Text" to select the format you want. There are lots of other links on ebook.bike, I stay away from them.
