Here’s a list of 10 free highly-rated Kindle ebooks for the holiday weekend.
Amazon also still has all versions of the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite on sale, but I think today is the last day of the sale. They also have a list of Kindle ebooks on sale today only.
Please keep in mind the free Kindle books listed below are free as of April 9th, 2023. Most of these titles are free for a limited time only and will expire in the next few days or hours 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 (but for some reason the list only appears on the desktop version of the site, not the mobile version).
You don’t need to own a Kindle ebook reader or a Fire tablet to read these free ebooks; you can use free Kindle reading apps for iPad, iPhone, and Android devices, or use a computer or web browser.
