Something Happened. 

Until Black Friday, the Kindle eBook free downloads for "Vlad the Impaler" (http://amazon.com/dp/B017265KZE) were percolating right along, with the usual ups and downs. The best day for units ordered (40) was Monday, November 2nd, just a few days after its release. Then the title was added to some Listopia forums on Goodreads.com. Yowza. (90)

The comparison charts are here.

Download Vlad the Impaler: Son of Dracul (Amazon Kindle). [+Smashwords, iBook, Nook]

How to Publish and Distribute Ebooks with Smashwords (free). Self-publish eBooks and paperbacks on Amazon with Kindle Direct Publishing (free).

How to publish a FREE ebook on Amazon Kindle. (Amazon calls this "Price Match" and they hate it. They would rather make money off you by having you enroll your book in KDP Select, so that readers have to buy a $9.99/mo subscription to Kindle Unlimited in order to read your book for free, while you collect bupkes in royalties. Nice scam.)
