Default Free kindle

Official Insert:

Amazon's offering a wealth of ebooks for the Kindle free. To see the collection go to the Amazon page. Great spot rizla01!

Back to the original post....

-------



Well Almost.

Just a couple of titles on offer but it'll give you an idea of how the Kindle works.

Go HERE for the selection (3x) and HERE for the kindle application to run on your PC.

Possibly more titles to follow as the .COM site offers far more than this but ONLY to the US.

Oh wow! I love the Kindle for the PC thing. I'm not really after a Kindle but some books I want to read but don't own are free to download. So that's wicked! Thanks OP!

Sure - search for Kindle on the appstore - its a free download

The good thing is, if you read a book on your ipod/ipad and then stop where-ever and leave a bookmark - if you open the same book on the pc/another phone/an actual kindle - it knows where you are upto because all the devices sync automatically with amazons systems

There is at least one other free e-reading app - Kobo. It does apps for phones etc too, all free (last time I looked).

It's amazing how much you learn when you spend months looking for an e-reader, buy one thinking you've got a bargain, then watch it go down by another £20 a couple of months later!!

Default Free Winnie The Pooh Book - kindle

If you have little ones who love Winnie The Pooh then i cant see any reason for you not to get this free Winnie The Pooh book. This is great for night time reads and the best thing about this is that it’s a Kindle Book so you wont have to worry about storing it. This free book is for the Amazon Kindle of which if you don’t own one then you can get a free Kindle app on the iphone/ipad.
