Fellow permies, Dr. Tilgner's books are AMAZING! I have two of them, and have read them cover to cover, and refer to them often when stumped with medical issues.

Dr. Tilgner has done two giveaways with us, and answered so many of our herbal and medical questions. If you're on the fence about getting her book, just go to her profile and look at her posts to see the wealth of information in them.

You can also see fellow permies' reviews of her books here:

Both on the US and UK site.

It looks like it's not for the next four days, like I mentioned in the dailyish, but from April 1st through April 4th!

I am sure the free book will be worth waiting for April 1st to be able to download it.

Thank you, Sharon  for making this offer available.

Thank you so much. I am excited to see the book

Nicole, would you please remind us in the dailyish on April 1st?  Many thanks!

All Permies should be SMART and don't do anything to add to Jeff Bezos wealth. I wish Sherol Tilgner would make this offer on another platform. Remember, we are Voting every time we spend money.

I will try to! My brain's not always the best at remembering things, but I will endeavor!

Is this available in Australia? I have been on amazon.com.au and it does not look like it is....

It is being given away free so I don't see Jeff Bezos make much money here.

Have to wait till april 2nd for australia but i think were geo blocked via amazon unless you can find a way to create a fake us address.

Just downloaded it! Can't wait to read it! Thank you!!!

For people in australia you need to copy and paste the book name to buy from the australian site

Hello Tom,

Don't worry Tom,  Jeff Bezos makes no money on you getting a free book through Amazon.  This is why they don't allow people to give books away for very long or for very often. They probably hope you will continue to get other paid books with kindle after getting that free book, but you don't have to do that.

I just downloaded the book. Thank you Sharol!

In today's economy, money is more a byproduct to the mega-(sorry, meta is now trademarked)corporations, the core of transactions being personal data. When they offer an item for free on this platform, it is an old sales tactic known as a 'loss leader'. From what I can tell, you must download their software to view the book, so you will have a program on your device in all likelyhood capturing information about your behavior and relaying it to Amazon. You also need to give them your information to "subscribe" to the service, then recall at the proper time the need to unsubscribe or you will be subject to a recurring charge automagically.

Not that Amazon is the only one doing this, nor that the contents of the book in this case aren't worth Amazon knowing a few more trivial facts about us, but being aware of these subtle costs is worth the prompt. Each 'vote' we make with these transactions moves us more toward an economic monoculture of helpless, ignorant citizens controlled by unaccountable data merchants and away from a polyculture of empowered individuals. Indeed, finding venues to distribute information like this outside of the direct control of the big data people is worth consideration.

This hasn't happened to me. I received a free ebook from Dr Tilgner to review it. Amazon encouraged me to download junk, but it was not necessary. There is a way to read it there on amazon. I never got charged any fees, and viewed it on my desktop computer. I had no problems. I do have a normal (non-Prime) Amazon account, so they didn't receive any more information than they already had. I can understand being wary if  one doesn't already have an Amazon account, but I think most of us do at this point (even if we try not to use it too much.)

Regarding the idea that Amazon might be charging fees for the free app you download to read the book, I did not have that happen to me. I downloaded one of their kindle apps to make sure my book looked okay on it, and two years later have never been charged a fee for that app. Perhaps they are secretly getting data off my computer as you say through the app. but I have not seen any signs of it, nor has my computer expert reported anything like that. However, if you are worried about them collecting data from the app. I would suggest for your own sanity, to simply not download the app.

Just downloaded. Thank you very much

Thank you for posting that here, just downloaded. Can’t wait to read 😊

anyone know how to download kindle books to the PC? I am glad I did not pay for this only to find that I cant download

I'm pretty sure you can read your Kindle books in your PC browser on a special Kindle webpage. https://www.howtogeek.com/715760/how-to-read-kindle-books-on-your-computer-or-a-website/

Thanks. I would like to read offline though. looks like the kindle app only supports android, iOS, windows and mac. Seems like I would have to have one of those to download.

In my first pass, I clicked the "Read for free!" button instead of the "Buy now" one and was taken to a subscription page for Kindle Prime. These 'nudge' tactics seem to be a big breadwinner for Amazon. Not sure if it might be best to leave the public to figure such things out on their own, I figure best to raise awareness of it among groups I care about.

Using the 'buy now' option allows us to read it in a browser window off the cloud. Is this a preview allowed only during the offer period or is it meant to remain available in electronic form through the Kindle service even after?

Thank you Sharol for this amazing book.  I got it and plan to spend some time this evening reading!

I appreciate your generosity of spirit and the book.

If anyone needs help getting the book, please feel free to contact me and I can help walk you through the process.  

Have a lovely weekend all!

The kindle books can be read in other manners as you are finding, but most people use the free kindle app that can be downloaded on the same page as where you get the free book. Getting the kindle app on your computer, tablet or phone allows people to have the book as long as they want.  As Nicole mentioned, you do need an Amazon account to download the app and book. It sounds like you clicked on the kindle unlimited members button. There is so much on the page that it is confusing. On the right side of the page you should see an orange button that says buy now with 1-click. Above that button it should say Kindle price $0.00. When the free period is over it will not say $0.00 any more and will change to $9.99. So, only click on it while it says $0.00 above the Buy Now button. If you need the app. It is to the right of the book photo, below the kindle box. It says "read with our Free App". Click on it and it should take you to a page where you can tell them what electronic devise you need an app for. Click on the app and download it before clicking on buy now and things will go smoother.

Thank you! So exited to read this and no problems here with amazon, etc.

Thank you so much for the free book Sharol! And your gracious responses to folks. And thank you Nicole for the reminder.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to reading & learning from this book!

Responding to those who said thank you: It is my pleasure. I hope you enjoy it. I think it is treated as a normal kindle book which means you can loan it out to a friend for a couple weeks at no cost also. Don't ask me how to do that though, as I don't know. I am sure you can find it online if interested.

Hey there,
I don’t seem to be able to download it. When I open the link it shows the book for free, but states it’s currently not available for purchase?
Am I too late or doing something incorrectly?
Thanks! Dorit

Hello Dorit, So sorry I am seeing your post after the event. It ended at midnight last night, so too late to find out what was going wrong. I hope you figured it out.

Doh! Can’t believe I missed it! 🥲
