With all the money being spent this Cyber Monday weekend, it’s time to get something for free, so here’s a roundup of 10 free Kindle books.
Amazon is also running a big sale on Kindle eBooks for Cyber Monday for one of their Deals of the Day. There are over 350 books on the list and they’re priced up to 80% off.
So far this year Amazon’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday Kindle deals have been a total joke. $79 for the Kindle Paperwhite 3 is a good deal, especially without ads, but that’s the only Kindle deal they’ve offered.
Would it kill them to take $30 off one of the current Kindle models? They’ve had the new Paperwhite 4 on sale at Amazon UK for the past week but it’s still full retail in the US.
Hopefully Amazon will surprise us tomorrow with a Kindle sale but their Cyber Monday press release doesn’t mention any Kindle deals whatsoever, just Kindle ebook sales.
Keep an eye on the Kindle Holiday Deals page for new deals, but at this point I don’t know why they even bothered to create a dedicated page for a few measly deals.
Last year they had several Kindle models on sale, including refurbished Kindles, and they had Kindle Unlimited subscriptions for 40% off. This year all we get is a discount on an older model that has just been replaced. Prime Day deals were better than this.
Please note that the free Kindle books listed below are free as of November 25th, 2018. Most of these titles are free for a limited time only and will expire in a few days before going back to the regular list price.
A good place to find more free Kindle books is on the free bestsellers list at Amazon.
You don’t need to own a Kindle ebook reader or a Fire tablet to read these free ebooks; you can use a free Kindle reading app for iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android devices, or use a computer or web browser.

Until I find the second love of my life, I’ll always have my memories of summers past with Aaron, the guy of my dreams, chasing fireflies at twilight. Compared to him, the options at the Highpointe Baptist Church’s singles group just add insult to injury.

Burned Promises by W. Winters
Romance, 4.4 stars, 112 reviews
He made me a promise. And then he broke it. That’s what happens with your first love. I didn’t expect for Derek to fall back into my life and for me to fall back into his bed. Time changes a lot of things, but it doesn’t change everything. It doesn’t change the way he makes my heart skip or the way my lungs stop when he stares deep into my eyes.
It didn’t change his bad boy ways either and I should be smart enough to tell him no this time around. I should be, I know what it’s like to be burned by him. But it’s so hard to walk away when his touch begs me to stay and the pain in his eyes cuts me deeper than anything else in this world.

However, when a man is murdered right in front of him, Sam doesn’t forget a face, and when he sees that face again, and the life, in an extremely embarrassing situation, he can’t help but wonder what’s going on. How could the dead man and his doppelgänger be connected to Sam’s latest case, proving a client innocent of murdering his best friend? Some people think Sam has gone to the dogs over this one, because that’s exactly who he has to go to for help to solve not just one murder but two. It’s the wildest and craziest case Sam has ever been involved in, and the big question might be whether he will even survive.
Do you know if the Kindle Touch is still supported? (books/store/etc…) Will new books work on it?
All Kindles are still supported but the older ones don’t have the newer features like custom fonts.
Good to know…..thanks. I thought they stopped supporting some of the older ones….unless you got a certain update by a certain time.
I’m getting a touch. That’s one of the older ones i never had….but really liked the idea of it. For $25…what the heck.
The older Kindles do need an update to keep working if they haven’t been updated in a long time but you can still download and install it.
I’ve never bought from Woot before. Do you find that their refurbished electronics (in this case, a Kindle) are reliable? Or is it a crap shoot?
I’ve been using a Kindle Paperwhite for over a year that I purchased through Woot and it’s great. Woot is now owned by Amazon too, so if you’re a prime member you’ll get free shipping.
Thanks…. I’ll be happy if it just last a year.
