Kindle book sources ...

[DahliaDoll]

I've just discovered Amazon FristReads when I saw an add on FB. Although after further research, I discovered that they do send me emails which I ignore. If you are a Prime member and have a Kindle, it might interest you.

"Every month customers can choose one of the Kindle books selected by our editors for $1.99, or FREE for Prime members. This month, customers can also get a bonus short read for $1.99, or FREE for Prime members."

I hardly ever pay for a book since I can check them out at the library so easily. I'm also a little suspicious of free books as I wonder if they are not the best authors and are just trying to generate more interest. Although it's a good marketing strategy and could actually introduce readers to good and new authors that have gone unnoticed.

I did download one of the books and will see if I think the ones they offer seem worthwhile. The one I downloaded seems to be a pre-release and won't actually be available for purchase until December 1.

I'm curious where others get free Kindle books. Do you ever "loan" them?

I joined Kindle Unlimited a long time ago and I'm sure I get my monies worth. It offers me the dystopian garbage i read for relaxation as well as more mainstream titles.

I also borrow books from my local library which has a pretty good e-book collection.

I joined 2 FB groups where there are free books (not sure about author's rights though), so I have TONS of free ebooks, never buy any. Mostly my books are French, but here is the English group I have on FB (3) RiRi's Library | Facebook

I am another that has Kindle Unlimited and I download and read books all the time. I have about 20 books borrowed and at least 4 downloaded to my kindle at all times. I get my moneys worth for sure. I take advantage of the stuff your kindle for free days too.

This post came as such a surprise to me. DB and I are thinking of buying Mum a Kindle, we spoke about it this morning and I pop on here to see this.

I almost always read on my iPad and use Amazon for my books. Usually free but if I’m reading a good series I will pay if it’s under $3 for a book.
