As usual, I've put together a list of free Kindle eBooks. Many of these are available to everybody! For the longest time, I thought they were only for Amazon Prime members, however I discovered anybody can read these free eBooks with any number of free Kindle apps. Be it on your phone, computer, or tablet, you can download a Kindle app and get these books for free!
They're split into different categories and were all free as of this morning, though please make sure they're still free when you go to redeem them since sometimes these promos only last for a few hours / days.
Hopefully, you can find something fun to read. 📚 😃 And as usual, please check the price before you download. These free books are often time-based and will go up in price after a certain amount of time, so before you download, make sure the price is $0.00!

KFM says
September 8, 2009 at 03:23 pmNice!
I’m gonna put them on my iPod. 😀
I’ve read a couple of these classics, 20,00 Leagues and The Picture of Dorian Gray. I love classics, and I’m looking forward to reading Sherlock Holmes, Treasure Island, Frankenstein, Dracula, and some other classics that I should have read by now.
Hooray! 😀

Shelli Browning says
June 13, 2011 at 07:02 pmFab freebie – now if I can figure out how to lug my PC outside so I can read all my free new books! One day I’ll break down and get a Kindle. Till then, Goob, thanks for passing on offers like these and letting us know they are good for PCs, too. Hope I can figure out how to get them transferred to a Kindle when I eventually buy one!
Rosemary says

September 8, 2017 at 06:00 pmI just thought I would mention another site that might interest fellow readers. I recently discovered Harlequin Rewards (Sign Up at: https://static.sl.harlequin.com/index.html) and you get enough points for a free eBook from their site just for signing up or you can save your points up to get a free print book.
Megan says
October 6, 2017 at 09:47 amUnfortunately, these are free if you have Kindle Unlimited, which is not included in Prime. It’s an extra $10/mo.
lucy says
October 10, 2017 at 01:20 pmgoob. i absolutely have. bio’s of founding fathers and of presidents, and 1 on the manhattan project. love getting good books free. thanks a bazillion, GOOB!!
lucy says
October 10, 2017 at 01:21 pmmegan, i don’t have kindle unlimited and i have found many at zero.. i use tohave it.. hmm.. i would echeck on it.
Max says
January 17, 2018 at 03:17 pmActually you need a Kindle device to read these books for free, right?
Goob says
January 17, 2018 at 04:05 pmActually, no! You can download the free Kindle app and read these on your tablet, smartphone, or computers.
You will need an Amazon Prime account to access the downloads though.
Amanda says
January 22, 2018 at 07:34 pmActually, you *don’t* need an Amazon Prime account, just a regular account. In other words, just register with Amazon for free, and you can download any $0.00 book for free. I’ve been doing it for more than a decade, and it hasn’t cost me a single cent for any of them. And I don’t have a Prime account.
Amanda says
January 21, 2018 at 08:04 pmAwesome! Thank you.
Cheryl says
February 4, 2018 at 02:28 pmI love to read. Another place for cheap reading material is at local library sales. Of course, you will pay a little but then it is an on-hand book at a good price. It is a good place to pick up cheap reading books for beginning readers and give them as Christmas/birthday gifts.
Dennis says
February 12, 2018 at 07:38 pmThanks Goob! I love free stuff, especially from Amazon. I had no idea we can get so much media for free on our Kindle Apps. I’m going to have to clean up my mac so I can store all the free books on there. I might not read them all, but I’ll take as much as I can haha.
Carol Turner says
March 22, 2018 at 07:58 pmcareful – some of these are not free!!
Goob says
March 23, 2018 at 12:54 pmThe prices do change on these after a day or two, so make sure it’s listed as $0.00 before you checkout!
CouponsKiss says
April 30, 2018 at 07:15 amThank you for making amazing list of all free ebooks. I have download all Classic eBooks and Cooking & Food eBooks.

July 13, 2018 at 09:14 pmHey Goob. Thanks for the always interesting and sometimes useful comments and info from HIF. One of my favorite emails besides the humorous junk I delete every day. Appreciate the wit you provide and some fun stuff to boot. Kindle freebies especially helpful so I don’t have to peruse Amazon for eleventeen hours to find good FREE reading. Have received some nice free samples and coupons too. Keep up the Goob stuff. Helping to spread the word. Loyal fan.
Goob says
July 18, 2018 at 12:11 pmDave, thanks for both the message and being a fan! Seriously, you put a giant smile on my face and for that, I’m grateful 🙂
Dave says
July 18, 2018 at 10:32 pmGlad to return one of the many smiles you’ve given me.
Kristie says
July 19, 2018 at 12:51 pmI love my kindle! I think I’m on my third one. I use it for EVERYTHING! Hubby bought me a brand new lap top about five years ago, and I think I’ve had it out maybe three times. I have well over 3,000 ebooks and MAYBE 5% of those 3,000+ are purchases. I too, love the section here for free ebooks. My next favorite free ebooks email is bookbub.com. Not every book at bookbub is free….discounted and free….but they do get some great free ones each day. You can tell them what genres you prefer at sign up. And of course, bookbub itself is free. 😉
And Goob? I ‘ve been a fan of yours for………it’s been so long, I can’t remember when I first joined! LoL LOVE your sense of humor!! Kudos to you for staying with us all for all these years!
Goob says
July 21, 2018 at 02:45 pmKristie, thank you so much for the comment, I’m glad my humor is appreciated by anyone other than me 😀 Here’s to many more years of laughter and another 3,000 free ebooks!
