How to Download Free Books from Amazon on the Kindle in 2 Different Ways

Maybe you are already a real ninja with your Kidnle and you do not need us to explain something like that, but it is also true that there are many that are released for the first time with their electronic book reader these days and do not yet know all the ins and outs of their brand new e-reader. If you feel identified with this second group, this is your tutorial, because in it we are going to explain something basic and very important so that you can take advantage of the free book offers that we can sometimes find on Amazon.

Downloading books to Kindle devices

Occasionally we can find the offer of titles that are put directly to 0 euros on Amazon. They are generally works in the public domain, but it is also possible to sometimes come across great offers that make the titles free to download for a certain time – they are less frequent but there are some that the expression would say.

In either of these two cases, it is likely that if you are new to your Kindle you do not have much idea of how to access these e-books, so we are going to explain in a very simple way the two ways that exist for this: obtaining it directly from the device or sending it to your reader from the PC so that it appears in seconds on the screen.

Remember anyway that this procedure is also applicable to any book that you are really interested in buying , since the steps to follow to access the title in question that interest you are the same.

Remember that in this section of Amazon , you have a good number of completely free books to download.

Download free books directly from your Kindle

Did you just find out that there is a free book on Amazon and want to access it from your Kindle and download it? In this case, these are the steps you must follow to do this:

  1. From the main screen of your Kindle, tap in the Search box (next to the three dots in the upper right corner).
  2. Type the name of the book and tap at the bottom of the box where it says “Search [book name] in everything”.
  3. An empty upper section will appear corresponding to your library (the search engine searches both your Kindle and all Amazon) and a lower section of the Kindle Store . Tap on “see All”.
  4. The list of results will appear. Tap on the one that interests you.
  5. You will see that the Kindle price is 0.00 euros and that there is a “Buy for free” button. Touch it.
  6. The book will be uploaded to your library ready to read. You can read it at the moment by tapping on “Read now” or continue browsing the Store by tapping on “Continue shopping”.
  7. In case you continue through the Store, you will only have to tap on the Home icon (the one in the house, in the upper left corner) to return to the main screen (where you should see the book in your Library on the front page).

That easy.

Send a free book to your Kindle from the Amazon website (PC, tablet or mobile)

Are you comfortably browsing Amazon from your tablet and suddenly you came across a free book that you want to have? You don’t have to go to your Kindle to download it. You can do it directly from the web and send it to appear in your library in no time:

Kindle - Comprar libro

  1. Enter the book that interests you from the Amazon website.
  2. Be sure to select the Kindle version of the book.
  3. Go to the right section, under the orange button, where it says ” Send to ” and search for your device. Select it.
  4. Now you just have to touch (or click) the “Buy in 1-Click” button. And wait for confirmation.
  5. Your book should appear on your Kindle in seconds, after syncing. It will also be available on the Kindle Cloud Reader to read and on any device where you have the Amazon Kindle app to access your account.

Although it is one of the first steps to configure when you release your Kindle, we remind you that this can only be done if you have your Kindle linked to your Amazon account . You have the synchronization data in Settings => All settings => My account (where you can also change the name of your Kindle).

Another important and obvious point: your Kindle must be connected to a network to synchronize. If not, go to Settings => All settings => Wireless connection to connect to a WiFi network. Needless to say, flight mode cannot be activated for data synchronization either.
