Free Kindle eBooks

Do you have an eBook reader? A Kindle, a Nook, an iPad or any other eReader?

Do you have a smart phone or a computer?

If you have any of the above you can read eBooks.


Did you know, you don't need a Kindle to read eBooks from Amazon?

If you have an iPad, tablet or a smart phone of any sort you can download the free Kindle App and get access to millions of eBooks on the Amazon Kindle site.

BUT, eBooks cost money. Right?

Not so.

Most eBooks on the Kindle site are so cheap you pay less than a Happy Meal for them, however...there are a tonne of websites and Facebook pages out there who actively promote the FREE eBooks on Amazon.

So when an author publishes their eBook they can have promotions and offer it for free to anyone who downloads it within the specified period of time.

Go and Google a whole bunch of "Free eBooks" sites, or search for pages on Facebook and join their email list or like them on Facey. Then every day or every week you'll get notifications about the latest eBooks that are available for FREE!

You will find books of all genres from sci-fi, romance, reference, biography, and most importantly...Kids eBooks! Some will be authors you know and love, others will be authors you've never heard of, but they could be the next JK Rowling for all we know!

But a point of etiquette once you've downloaded and read all your free eBooks. Head back to the Amazon website and give the book a quick few words of review, or even just give it a star rating. This feedback helps the authors to write even better books for you next time and work out what their audience is really looking for. Something for nothing, it's just like saying "thanks very much".

I love my Kindle. I love real books too, I have shelves and shelves of them! But I love being able to carry a whole book shelf around in my bag, especially of books that I know I will probably read once and then give away or never read again. For me it's the romance / comedy books like Confessions of a Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, or the Jodie Picoult heart breakers! It's a heck of a lot cheaper to get the eBooks, read them and be done, rather than collecting expensive paper weights that I've thoroughly enjoyed, but will just pass on to the next reader who wants them.
