I'm sorry I didn't begin to read this book and highlight it while it was free from the Kindle Buffet a couple of days ago.
Rivet Your Readers with Deep Point of View by Jill Elizabeth Nelson
Would you like your readers to live your stories, not merely read them? Deep Point of View anchors your readers inside the point of view character(s) of your novel. This handbook shows you how to perform the transformation from ordinary narrative to deep narrative in clear, easy-to-master steps. I invite you to sweep your writing to the next level with a technique that creates immediacy and intimacy with your readers and virtually eliminates show/don't tell issues.
The good news is that it is not expensive, (US $2.99), in the Kindle edition, which can be read on a Kindle

Helpful books for writers
Based on my editing experience with BC/TS authors, another useful book is:
English Grammar and Composition by John Warriner
It is only available in book format through Amazon's used book service, but it provides an excellent summary of proper usage in writing.
Yes, there a lots of books to help authors
But while this one is very limited in coverage, it speaks to a large portion of the problems I see in stories I am editing/proofing, and to a few problems in my own writing.
I am currently trying to finish a novel, but have not been happy with it. This showed me quite a few things that will help me works things out.
And to respond to another comment, yes, even the Amazon synopsis helped a bit.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Another Amazon book I'd recommend to our authors
But not everybody has a kindle, or droid.
May Your Light Forever Shine
Not kindle or Android
not every body has a Kindle, or droid, but if they're reading this they probably have a PC.
