When I purchased my Android phone a few months back I noticed that I have an application on it called Amazon Kindle reader...wow, you don't even have to buy a Kindle anymore. I also have the Android tablet and have the Kindle reader on that as well. I know what you're thinking but...well, I'm a writer so I need these things.
Amazon also has a free Kindle cloud reader. It's all right there and easy to set up so that you can use the one click button to have these books sent straight to your reader.
It took me a few months to stumble across the free eBooks that Amazon.com has to offer. I'm always looking for a good deal and this one is "the real" good deal. So I thought I would share some of my recent eBook findings.
Some of these books are of no interest to me but may be of interest to someone else so I will list a few here that I've found today.
This post will age like all the others so keep in mind that if you find this post 2 months from now the eBooks may not be free any longer.
