Granted there are many good resources listed in the book, but nothing you couldn't find via Google. Also some of the sites listed had already changed their URL's. OK. This is not the author's fault, but it does reinforce the fact that Google is better than this book. If you hate using a search engine, then this is the book for you, otherwise just search for free ebooks yourself.

Free Kindle Books and How to Find Them.. revised.

Revised or not, you can get the same info from Amazon by doing a search on Amazon..
Search: Kindle Store ; Free
Then Click on "Free Book Collection"

There's a whole page/pages dedicated to free e-books and other sites that are compatible with Kindle. A whole list of them...

And yes, I find that rather ironic.. a book titled Free Kindle Books and How to Find Them and charging for it. LOL

Anyway, save your money.. just do a search. Amazon provides most of the info.

I am surprised to see some of the low ratings on this blog!! I have found it to be very helpful and saves me a ton of time. When I purchased my Kindle I was very concerned about spending too much money and the whole one button push and I have a book. I love to read so I made a deal with myself. I will start looking at the free books...starting with the classics. I found this blog and thought I would give it a try. 14 days for free so why not! I have downloaded almost every book recommended, put them into categories and then take a look at them when I have time. Many of them I will never read and I delete them. BUT... I have now read books that I would never have read if I paid for them initially. (I just can't afford it)The books offered are very diverse. Again, some I don't have any interest in reading, but I am sure that others do. To me it is just plain silly that people are complaining that they don't like the books offered. Hello....those are offered by the publishers..not the provider of the blog. And why would you think he has any control over how long it is offered? In any event, I highly recommend it. It has saved me a ton of time and has gotten me into reading books I never would have picked up. Thank you!!

People, please don't waste your money on this book (currently costing three dollars). It's easy to find free books that you can read on your Kindle: use Google, Bing, Yahoo, or any search engine of your choice and search for "free ebooks". Project Gutenberg at Gutenberg.org has a ton of classics available for your immediate consumption.

Maybe I am just naïve, but I was expecting a little more out of this than a handful of sites for free classics. Gosh, I can just search on here for free classic literature. As much as I enjoy some classic literature, I was hoping to get some better information on books newer than 1800s. Keep your $$ and go to Google or Amazon and type in "free Kindle books" (something I should have done before purchasing this for $0.99)... you will find more items than the stupid sites the author lists and be able to keep your money too (which he advocates in the book, yet, I spent money... on... his... book... *sigh*). I found more on Amazon's site by typing in free kindle books or some other phrase than all his sites combined (I went to several of them already and wasted lots of time). Good luck!

Save your money for a pack of gum! This 'book' will only provide you with links to other services that you may purchase memberships to in order to download free e-books. These memberships give you lists of books that you could find on your own with a little research via google or yahoo. If you are looking for the classics (for free) Amazon has them in abundance.

I'm surprised Amazon has not pulled this sham of a book from their listings!

I think that the author really tries to send out important information and share what free books are available.

However, I personally felt like I was wasting my time by wading through info on genres that don't appeal to me. I didn't find anything special that I hadn't found myself by daily browsing this way on Amazon.com via my Kindle3: Search > Kindle ebooks > Bestsellers > Top 100 Free

Browse those top 100 on a daily or every-other-day basis and you will get as many or more free books than are featured on this blog. It will take you a week or so to familiarize yourself with which books are actually bodice rippers or Christian chick lit, but once you can pass those over you will find many worthwhile free downloads.

I have always believed that you should never have to pay for something that is available for free. Free kindle books can be found simply by searching the internet. Perhaps this book serves as an easier guide but... It also includes a brief overview on tips to download various types of books onto your kindle. Again, this information is freely available if you search for it.

Back to getting FREE books, I have found a great resource to be [...]. They send emails to you twice daily with the free newly listed kindle books here on Amazon. If they have a book that sounds of interest, all you have to do is click on the book in their email, up comes the book on Amazon. If you like the book, click "buy it now" and bingo your book is downloaded free to your kindle from Amazon. I love this site! *I have no affiliation with them in case anyone is wondering. I'm just a very satisfied customer.

If you don't want to go search for the free things available to you online yourself then perhaps this book would be a good resource for you.

The irony absolutely kills me that a product about how to get free books has to be paid for. What a con! Check the help page, or other peoples' reviews, and save your money.

Got my Kindle as a Christmas present. Price listed for this item was 99 cents. A few days later price increased to $2.99. Feels like a rip off to me. I'll take time and research the free items for myself.
