Dear Puzzazzlers,
A Holiday Gift From Puzzazz
 As the days get shorter and snow falls (at least in some parts of the country), kids get out of school for winter break and there's a lot of gift giving going on. While we'd love to email you some cookies, we're doing the next best thing. We're giving out a free puzzle eBook for the Kindle. (If you don't have a Kindle, there's something for you at the bottom of this newsletter.)
The Puzzazz Holiday Gift, pictured at left, is full of the elegant, hand-crafted puzzles that Puzzazz is known for, combined with our top-rated experience which gives you a fantastic solving experience. Every puzzle is holiday-themed, with some decidedly uncommon puzzles, including a tree-shaped word search and a wreath-shaped sudoku. But, we're really excited about a few puzzles in particular.
We've got a kids word search from Helene Hovanec, the acclaimed kids puzzle author with 66 books under her belt. In January, we'll be launching two brand new kids puzzle eBooks by Helene, Super Duper Word Search for Kids and Fun Fun Fun Riddle Word Search for Kids.
We're also excited about The Case of the Neighbors' Lights, the first Anabel puzzle mystery from Emily Dietrich. The teenage daughter of the Chief of Police, Anabel is a sweet, engaging young woman with the smarts of a top-notch detective. When she's not hanging out in the police station after school doing her homework, she's creating puzzles which help her dad solve crimes. And you get to solve them too! Emily's The Case of the Missing Mask and other stories will also be out in January.
And did we mention that the Puzzazz Holiday Gift is free?
Word Search
Lest we forget, our first word search eBooks came out recently.
Word Search at the Movies has everything from blockbusters to cult classics to special effects. Whether you're a cinematographer or a casual movie buff, you'll be both challenged and delighted as you find movies, actors, and things you know about movies. And maybe you'll discover a few new movies you need to see
Word Search '60s celebrates the psychedelic '60s, with everything from The Beatles to tie-dye to the moon landing. If you lived through the '60s, this book will kindle fond memories. If you're younger than that, you'll probably be surprised to learn how the modern world of music, film, and politics was influenced by those times. Right on!
And we've got more coming in the new year.
New Kindles and ...
In case you haven't noticed, Amazon shipped some new Kindles. The new Kindle is only $79. It's smaller and lighter but lacks a keyboard. If you don't take notes while you're reading, it's a fantastic device, and you'll enjoy solving puzzles in our eBooks on it. If you do use the keyboard, the third-generation Kindle is still available, renamed as the Kindle Keyboard for $139.
We're working on support for the $99 Kindle Touch and the $199 Kindle Fire, which, despite its name, isn't a Kindle -- it's an Android tablet, aimed at competing with the iPad. We're not quite ready to make any announcements about Android, iPad, or iPhone support, but, if you're interested, we suggest you make sure our newsletters aren't heading into your spam folder.
Free Puzzles for Everyone
We know some of you don't yet have a Kindle, or maybe you're waiting for our eBooks to be available on some other device. In any event, we don't want to leave you out. So, we've taken a few of our favorite puzzles out of the Puzzazz Holiday Gift and made them available on our web site just for you: http://www.puzzazz.com/extra/dec2011-holiday-gift
