So are they full length novels now, or just more shorter articles like they're already had for a year as a minor benefit?

Agreed that perhaps this thread should be brought to the attention of UK members. However, this benefit has existed for US members for a while now.

They are full-length novels (from a preset selection).

Ah, apologies. I'm not sure how to amend the actual post title. Could a mod help with that?

I was quite excited when I saw that I could get two free Kindle ebooks per quarter as a Plat. That was until I found out how limited the selection was. For me, the only interesting category was Non-fiction and they only had 2 books to choose from!

Both me (Platinum) and a friend (Gold) are based in the UK, yet the Kindle ebook terms say for US only (see attached from my friend).
When trying to redeem, it fails - saying ‘wrong locale for this promo’ - has anyone else come across this?

Not sure if something changed in last few days, I've got it working on the phone now [Platinum, 2 ebooks, UK].

My friend was using iPad app - will tell him to try via the phone too.
