I don’t typically buy books anymore. I borrow books, I read books in the house, and I download free books to my Kindle from Amazon. I love my Kindle. It’s so easy on the eyes, and the text size is adjustable. There are highlighting features, and you can press on a word and it will tell you the definition. The Kindle site does offer free books, though it was easier to find them several years ago when I got my first Kindle. Now, if you look, they still offer some freebies. Before the Kindle, there were websites available where I could also read free books.
The Gutenberg Project, at Gutenberg.org is just such a site. It allows you to read over 60,000 public domain titles for free, and also download them so you can put them in your Kindle library. Following is an article to that effect, with 9 free sites for downloading. Check it out HERE. IF, like me, you then had a download and no idea how to put it on your Kindle, then read THIS. It’s an article from PCMag about how to get eBooks into your Kindle library. I chose the emailing method. It’s a bit weird, and it took a few tries but I finally got it to work. Basically, find your Kindle email address, it has a special one, trust me. You have to look it up on Amazon or in your Kindle. Then, email the downloaded eBook file to that address. Remember to use an approved address, also in Amazon. I had to add my regular email address to the list of approved emails, which is different from the Kindle emails. It sounds confusing but it is pretty easy. Read the article, it’ll help. Comments are closed.
