I intend to die an inglorious death of thirst and starvation

Can I have your stapler and office chair when you do?

Great post. How to replace your Kindle battery.

these old books are a gold mine. Some of them were written pre-refrigeration and contain excellent hints you can't find anywhere else.

Very good point.

I am always looking for old books from the Great Depression era (the 1929 one, not Obama's) and the WWII era that explain how to do things from scratch using basic tools, supplies and ingredients.

The old recipe books are useful because they were written in a time before the availability of highly processed foods and ingredients were taken for granted. They often contain substitution tables and hints on how to work around shortages.

I often find books like these in the free bins or at low prices - almost no one wants them because of their age and "outdated" content but that is exactly why they are valuable to a prepper.

In my experience two good sources for older volumes at low prices have been low end flea market booksellers and the "Friends of the Library" book sales.

One of my treasures is a 1930s/1940s industrial chemistry book.

I have a question that the answer might help other FReepers with these downloads.

I downloaded the free kindle to my PC and have Prime. How do you download “free” books when the only option listed is to buy?

Really would be helpful to know this!

Thanks. I just got a Kindle Fire so I will enjoy some of these.

Thanks. Bookmarked.

Too bad most people can’t understand these books because of the piss-poor public education system.

I was doing research for a paper once at a converted teachers college library. I found a 1929 high school blue book for a senior year history test. The questions were at least as difficult as those I vaguely remember from my college Western Civ course. (the dim past) Didn't see any multiple choice. Did see essay questions.

JRandomFreeper beat me to it, but can I have the rest of your stuff?

[rw4site]

The price shown should be $0.00. If it is, just click the buy tab and the book will be sent to your registered Kindle device or devices (Kindle, tablet, or laptop with the Kindle app)

You will receive an email receipt for the amount of $0.00.

I save these email receipts in a sub-folder. I keep them as a record of my purchases.

[JDoutrider]

Thanks! I’ll try that again, last time I got hit with a fee so I must have squelched it somehow...

[Library Lady]

I have Amazon Prime and Kindle Software for PC, and unfortunately they are not free if you don’t have the actual Kindle.
