How to Get Hundreds of Kindle eBooks Free
if you like to read and like free stuff
I'm going to show you how to get
hundreds of free ebooks and this
constantly changing supply will never
run dry you know each day we creep
closer to a paperless society it might
take a few more decades but I think it's
inevitable electronic documents and
ebooks will eventually take over for me
personally I've had a hard time letting
go of physical books I enjoy reading I
enjoy holding a book in my hand turning
the pages navigating around the book
with ease and then collecting books that
really touch me either emotionally or
intellectually or both there's something
about an e-book that just can't compete
with a real book but I'm getting older
and recently went through the process of
downsizing my in-laws possessions and it
makes me appreciate the simplicity of
e-books they take zero shelf space weigh
nothing and you can read them on just
about any electronic device that you
might be using so I am partial to the
Amazon Kindle eBook ecosystem this is an
actual Kindle book reader Amazon says
these can hold thousands of books and
they're available in multiple screen
sizes and the this display here is meant
to be very similar to reading from a
paper but it's supposed to be very easy
on your eyes however lately I have
abandoned my Kindle in favor of the
larger screen size of my regular tablet
Amazon makes their free Kindle reading
app available for Android and Apple
devices as well as on your PC or Mac
computer so you do not have to
these Kindle devices to read Kindle
ebooks Amazon wants to sell you ebooks
so they make reading ebooks easy to do
on numerous devices not just their
proprietary Kindle devices but here's
the great thing about ebooks they cost
almost nothing to distribute so that
makes it possible for publishers to make
their ebooks available for just a few
dollars or even free publishers and
authors can choose to make their titles
available for free either for a day or
some short period of time or even
permanently they might do this if the
author is unknown or in the case of a
book series they may give away the first
and hopes the series catches on with
readers and readers get hooked
so they'll purchase additional copies of
that series in the future it's like
getting a free sample while you walk
around Costco they give them away
because they know some percentage of
people will make a purchase in the
future ebooks may also be in the public
domain meaning the copyright has expired
and the book can be freely and legally
copied and shared without payment to the
publisher Project Gutenberg has made
tens of thousands of Kindle books
available free of charge there's a link
for that in the description below you
can also borrow Kindle books from your
local library through what's called the
overdrive program you will need a
library card but once you have that you
can borrow ebooks electronically but
let's look at the specific ways you can
get free ebooks on Amazon site if you're
an Amazon Prime member you can borrow up
to ten books that are available as a
part of the prime reading program keep
the book as long as you want then return
it when you're done reading there are
currently over two thousand books both
fiction and nonfiction available in the
prime reading program
well you don't own the book you can keep
it checked out indefinitely for Prime
members Amazon also offers the first
reads program
you'll get one or more free ebooks each
month
these are editors picks and the
selection is extremely small maybe five
or six books but once you make your
selection it's yours to keep now let me
show you how to find hundreds of free
ebooks right on Amazon site these are
free Kindle ebooks you can get them free
and keep them forever no Prime
membership is required no Kindle device
is required first let's start with the
top 100 free Kindle books this is a list
that it's updated hourly so it's a great
way to find new titles all the time it's
constantly changing from the homepage of
Amazon click the hamburger that's the
three lines there to see the main
categories click on Kindle e-readers and
ebooks then click Kindle books at the
top of the wide area click bestsellers
and more then scroll down to the best
Kindle bestsellers and click that at the
top left here you'll see the top 100
paid is selected just click on top 100
free now you'll see the top titles based
on the number sold or in this case the
number given away I assume that means
the title with the highest quantity
purchased at no cost or free in the last
hour I believe that's how that's
determined here you'll see mostly
fiction titles romance novels had a
bunch of washboard abs but there are
usually some nonfiction titles in here
as well you can see the ratings for most
of these are 4 or 5 stars so that's
pretty good
but this is only the beginning of the
free ebooks if we scroll back to the top
and click Kindle ebooks this page shows
us all the possible Kindle books
available almost everything you see here
will be books that require payment click
on advanced search at the top now just
change sort results by - price low to
high and click search
note this does not work as the results
are still sorted by featured but if you
click sort by and change it one more
time - price low to high you will see
free titles right now we're seeing
everything in the Kindle Store including
magazines and newspapers and ebooks some
of these magazines for example have free
offers for the first month so I believe
that's why they appear here in this list
even though it shows a dollar amount to
drill down to just the ebooks over here
on the left click on Kindle ebooks now
you will only see ebooks each ebooks
listing may look a little bit different
some of the books listings may show a
button that says buy now with one click
and you can just click that and get the
title free right away some may have a
Kindle unlimited tag on it but also say
or 0 dollars to buy you'll have to click
on the title and look closely at the
details on the top right of the book
page to verify whether and not or not
it's truly free you'll notice we are
still seeing mostly romance novels here
like we saw on the top 100 free page if
that's not your bag don't worry just
come over here to the left and click on
the department that you're actually
interested in for example click on
biographies and memoirs
we're still sorting by price low to high
but for some reason that I have not
figured out sometimes there are titles
with a price above zero dollars that
appear in the list here just be aware of
that and choose your titles carefully
and if you can figure out why some of
those titles appear let me know in the
comments below
most of the titles will be zero dollars
now you can drill down to subcategories
of most of the major departments for
example I can click here on leaders and
notable people you may be wondering how
good some of the free ebooks are as with
any item sold on Amazon you'll be able
to see ratings and reviews for each of
these titles I think there's some pretty
good ones here once you purchase a free
title the title will be delivered to
whatever Kindle device you've designated
in your account or you can just click
manage your Kindle content and devices
to see the books you now own and read
them if you wish new ebooks are made
available for free all the time so
you'll never run out of new content to
read one option that is not free but
that opens up over 1 million titles is
the Kindle unlimited program for $9.99
per month you can get access to over 1
million book titles and magazines these
include many bestsellers and popular
titles from well-known authors and
publishers just look for the Kindle
unlimited tag next to a book title to
see if it's included in the program as
long as your membership is paid you can
read as many titles as you want it's
like Netflix where you can watch as many
titles as you want for one price each
month and you can usually get started in
the program with three months free check
the link in the description below to
sign up for a free trial finally one
thing I recommend is to sign up to
receive the daily Kindle deals email
each day Amazon will send you an email
with extremely discount
book titles so these are not free but
are heavily discounted I've purchased
many of these titles they're very good
books most of them are $2.99 or less to
sign up click the link in the
description below or go to Kindle book
deals then click Kindle daily deals
newsletter from that page you can manage
a number of email subscriptions related
to Kindle emails including the daily
deals email so that's a quick rundown on
some of the ways to get hundreds or even
thousands of free Kindle e-books and
access to very low cost deals on ebooks
if you're ready to begin making the
switch to a paperless personal library
this is a great way to get started
building your collection let me know
