Prime eBooks: Amazon Prime Members Can Now Borrow eBooks for Free on Kindles

Prime eBooks

It turns out the rumor about Amazon introducing Prime eBooks was true. Amazon has launched a Kindle Owners’ Lending Library for U.S. Amazon Prime members that allows Kindle owners to borrow ebooks for free, up to one ebook per month per account.

The selection is surprisingly plentiful. There are already over 5,000 Kindle ebooks to choose from across various subjects and genres, including more than 100 current and former New York Times Bestsellers. It shouldn’t be too hard to find one interesting ebook to read each month.

Library eBooks for Non-Residents: Where to Get eBooks if Your Library is Lacking

OverDrive

Here’s a list of public libraries that offer library cards to non-residents so that you can barrow library ebooks for a Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, or a multitude of other devices even if your local library doesn’t have ebooks or if it is lacking in selection and availability.

This list comes from the How To Get Free eBooks From Libraries Using Overdrive page. I updated the section about getting library cards for non-residents and added some more libraries to the list and thought it deserved its own post.

Note that some of these free Vook books have audio and video that will only work on iDevices running the Kindle app. Why Android and other Kindle apps aren’t included is anyone’s guess.

If you have young children and a Nook Color, you might want to download these two free interactive kids’ books listed below that Barnes and Noble recently added to the Nook Color’s app store.

These interactive kids books are from Touchybooks and include colorful illustrations, touchable animations on each page, music, and narration. B&N sells several of these types of interactive apps from Touchybooks, most cost $1-$2, but these two are free.

Free Nook Books: $79 Worth of Barnes and Noble Classics

Barnes and Noble has twenty of their classic ebooks available for free that normally cost $3.99 each (these aren’t run-of-the-mill public domain ebooks; these are nicely formatted and include introductions, endnotes, footnotes, notes about the author, etc). In fact all of them are double-listed and are still selling for $3.99 on other pages.

It appears that B&N has switched these particular titles from their original PDB format into EPUB so they will work with B&N’s newer ebook readers that no longer support B&N’s old format. Unfortunately they still have DRM so they will only work with Nook devices and Nook apps, not other EPUB ebook readers (I checked since it turns out that B&N’s newspaper and magazines don’t have DRM).
