Introduction
If you’re like me, you love to read. And, if you’re like me, you probably do the majority of your reading on your Kindle. But what if I told you that there’s a way to get Kindle books for free?
That’s right, there is a way to get free Kindle books, and it’s actually quite easy to do. In this article, I’m going to show you how to download Kindle books for free in just a few simple steps.
First, let me show you where to find free Kindle books. There are actually quite a few places where you can find free Kindle books. One of the best places to start is Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg is a kind of digital library for public domain books. That means that the copyrights have expired on these books, so they are now available for anyone to download and read.
Another great place to find free Kindle books is ManyBooks.net. ManyBooks offers more than 33,000 eBooks which you can download in a variety of formats, includingMOBI (which is the format that Kindle uses).
Once you’ve found a few free Kindle books that you want to download, it’s time to start downloading them. The first thing you need to do is connect your Kindle to your computer via the USB cable that came with it. Once your Kindle is connected, open up My Computer (or This PC on Windows 10) and look for an icon that says “Kindle.” Double-click on this icon and then double-click on the “Documents” folder inside of it.
Now that you’re in the “Documents” folder, all you have to do is drag-and-drop the eBook files from your computer into this folder. Once the files are in the folder, unplug your Kindle from your computer and wait a minute or two for it to finish syncing up with Amazon’s servers (this usually happens automatically). After it’s done syncing up, open up the “Docs” section on your Kindle and voila! Your new eBook should be there waiting for you!
What You Need
In order to download Kindle books, you will need a few things:
-A Kindle, Fire, or Fire HD device
-An Amazon.com account
-A wireless internet connection
Step One: Connect Your Device to Wi-Fi
Make sure your Kindle, Fire, or Fire HD is connected to a Wi-Fi network. For more information on connecting your device to a Wi-Fi network, please see this help page from Amazon.
Step Two: Go to the Kindle Store
On your device, navigate to the Kindle Store. You can do this by tapping on the “Shop” icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Alternatively, you can also access the Kindle Store by tapping on the “Books” icon from the home screen and then selecting “Store” from the menu at the top of the screen.
Step Three: Find the Book You Want to Download
There are a number of ways to find the book you want to download. You can browse through the different categories listed on the main Kindle Store page, or you can use the search bar located at the top of the page. If you know exactly what book you want to download, we recommend using the search function as it will save you time in finding your book.
To search for a particular book, simply enter keywords into the search bar (e.g., author’s last name, title of book). As you type, a drop-down menu will appear with suggested search results; if you see your book listed there, simply click on it and skip ahead to Step Five. If you don’t see your book listed in the drop-down menu, continue typing out your keywords until the results page populates with matches.
Step One: Find the Book You Want to Download
Before you can download a Kindle book, you need to find the book you want to download. There are a few different ways to do this:
1. If you know the name of the book you want, you can search for it on Amazon.com. Just type the name of the book into the search bar and hit enter.
2. You can also browse for books on Amazon.com. To do this, go to the Kindle Store and then click on the main category that you’re interested in (such as Science Fiction or Romance). From there, you can further narrow down your options by sub-category (if desired) and then scroll through the list of available titles.
3. Finally, if you’re not sure what you want to read, Amazon.com also has a section called “Kindle First” where they feature new books that are available for pre-order. These are typically books that will be released within the next month or so and usually include excerpts so that you can get a taste of what they’re like before deciding whether or not to order them.
Once you’ve found the book (or books) that you want to download, it’s time to move on to step two!
Step Two: Download the Book
Now that you have found the book you want to download, it’s time to actually download it. Here’s how:
1. Go to Amazon.com and log in to your account.
2. Search for the book you want to download, and then click on the book’s title to go to its product page.
3. On the product page, look for the “Add to Cart” button. Above that button, you should see a drop-down menu that says “Kindle.” Click on that menu, and then select “Deliver to my Kindle.”
4. Once you’ve selected “Deliver to my Kindle,” a pop-up window will appear asking you which Kindle device or app you want to deliver the book to. Make your selection, and then click “Confirm.”
5. The book will now start downloading wirelessly to your Kindle device or app.
Step Three: Add the Book to Your Kindle Library
3. Add the book to your Kindle library
Now that you have the book file on your computer, it’s time to add it to your Kindle Library. Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable that came with it.
On a Mac, open the Kindle folder. On a PC, open My Computer and then open the Kindle drive. Drag and drop the book file from your computer into the Documents folder on your Kindle. Eject the Kindle from your computer and disconnect the USB cable when you’re finished.
The book will now appear in your Library on your Kindle and you can begin reading it whenever you like!
Step Four: Start Reading!
Now that your books are safely on your Kindle, you can start reading! To access your library, tap the Home button on the device, then tap the Books icon. This will take you to the Collections screen where you can see all of the Kindle books that you’ve added to your device. To begin reading a book, just tap on its cover image.
