Available books on Amazon
The Kindle program is probably the world’s biggest repertoire for eBooks. So, whatever it is that you are looking for, chances are high that you will be able to find it on Amazon.
Can I get free books on Amazon?
Okay, we all knew that it was a matter of minutes before we came to this question. We all love freebies, right? Well, the good news (bad news for writers) is that there are so many free books on Amazon that you probably will never want for some recreational material to read. Of course, if you are looking for school books, you will probably have a hard time finding anything free in any genre on the platform.
Can I upload books from other sources onto the Kindle?
This is a question that we have previously answered on this blog. Yes, you can upload books from other sources onto your Kindle. All that you need to do is make sure that books are converted from whatever format to Mobi.
There are many free book conversion sites on the internet, some of which even handle bulk conversions. The majority of these book conversion sites come free of charge, and you should have no issues converting your ebooks to the Mobi format.
Once you have converted your book, uploading it to your Kindle is a simple matter of connecting the device to your computer using a USB data cable. Once the books have been transferred, you can begin reading.
