Today is Stuff Your Kindle Day, an author-organized event that happens four times a year where people can download mainly romance and romance-adjacent books for free and to keep. In 2023, the event took place on March 31, June 30, Sept. 20. and today, Dec. 27. The event first started in 2014 when author Zoe York wanted to promote her books as well as some other authors on her website, Romance Bookworms. The event has grown exponentially since then; today, you can choose from over 2,000 titles in different genres to read on a variety of e-readers (not just Kindle, as the name would suggest).
How to get free e-books on Stuff Your Kindle Day
First, go to the official website and select the “free books” tab. Then select the type of e-book retailer you use (if you don’t use one, you can click on any of them). Then, you’ll be presented with an long list of titles filtered by category. Each book will have the title, author, a brief synopsis, and hyperlinks to the retailer you selected previously.
Here are some of the categories available:
If you chose Amazon as your retailer, make sure you’re not being redirected to the phone application because you won’t see the free book option; instead, use the web browser Amazon page (or just do it on your computer). Also, make sure you’re not clicking the Kindle Unlimited ”read for free” button, as that will direct you to start a Kindle Unlimited subscription; instead, click the “buy now for free” button to send the book directly to the Kindle linked to your account.
You’ll know you did it right when you see a “Thanks, [your name]!” order summary saying the e-book is being auto-delivered to the Kindle Cloud Reader. Click the
“Read now in Kindle Cloud Reader” button on the order summary to start reading your e-book.
