How To Find Free Books For Your Amazon Kindle
After spending a pretty penny on a Kindle (the Kindles 1 and 2 may be selling at lower costs but still not really at giveaway prices), you would be pleased with the fact that most ebooks offered by Amazon come with only a $9.99 price tag. Now here’s even better news: you can actually get books for your Kindle without having to spend a dime.
Of course, you won’t expect to see the latest bestsellers on that free book list but you can really find some good choices if you take the time and effort to browse through. So if you’re looking to save on your reading material after having splurged a lot on your ebook reading device, these tips on how to find free books for the Kindle will help you.
Free ebooks from Amazon
What better source of ebooks specially formatted for the Kindle than the maker of the device itself? Amazon may not be heavily promoting free books but you’d be surprised at the number of free stuff that you can find there.
1. Go to Amazon.com, then choose Books, then Kindle Books.
2. Scroll down to the middle of the page to the link that says “See all Kindle books” or choose a category on the left side of the page, e.g. Fiction or Humor.
3. On the upper right hand of the page, you can find a drop down tool bar that lets you sort the books by different categories. Choose Price: Low to High.
4. The first books to appear on the list will then be those which are priced at $0.00.
5. When you click the Buy button, Kindle will then send the book wirelessly to your Kindle.
Other Sites That Offer Free eBooks
1. Project Gutenberg (www.gutenberg.org) has over a hundred thousand ebook titles to choose from – all for free. You do however, have the option to make a donation to the site through Paypal.
2. Munsey’s (www.munsey.com) has a good selection of books in Kindle format, although you won’t find descriptions for many of these.
3. Fictionwise (www.fictionwise.com), is a good source of bestsellers, discounted books, and yes, even free ebooks. There are more than 15,000 books in the Kindle format.

Many potential buyers of the Kindle are sometimes discouraged with the thought of having to always spend for additional ebooks. After all, what good is having a Kindle when you can’t have it updated with new content if your budget doesn’t allow you to?
But now you know better. Once you buy the device, you don’t actually have to keep on spending as long as you know how to find free books for your Amazon Kindle.
