Amazon kindle slect program

Recently I took advantage of the Kindle Select program. For anyone not familiar with it, the program allows readers to “borrow” your book for free and there is no return date.
The program’s disadvantage is the requirement not to have the book for sale on any other device for ninety days. But it does allow you to give away the book five times during this ninety days. Hopefully this will increase interest in the rest of the series.
As far as I can tell there has been no borrowing, however I gave away 151 copies in the US and another 63 in the UK on the first three of the free days. The title of the book is Junkyard Dog and it is part of the Malfore County series.
I did get the expected interest other books of mine, however the most interest by far has been in my fantasy series starting with Blue Glory, book one of the Seamount series.
This was quite unexpected since mystery readers don’t read fantasy--or so I have been told.
It seems to be a new world out there.
