Amazon frequently runs freebies on books for the Kindle, but did you know there are many, many books that are always free? I thought I’d share some of the free Kindle books we have collected over the years.
To read ebooks, I love my Kindle Paperwhite. We actually have this Kindle, too, and a Fire Tablet at our house. While I prefer reading books from my Paperwhite, I like that having eReaders and a Tablet allows us to both read and learn with apps.
If you don’t have a Kindle, no worries. You can download the Kindle apps for iOS, Android, PC or Mac.
This list in no way exhaustive, but it will get you well on your way to collecting classic children’s literature on your Kindle. If you’d like to learn how to find books that are free now and then, here’s a tutorial for you.
