How do I find free e-books for Stuff Your Kindle Day?
You may want to just browse the online store, rather than plan out your downloads ahead of time. All you have to do is sort the options from low to high price. The first results are going to be all the free ones. (Just double-check that the price is for sure $0.00 before you buy since price fluctuations can happen quickly). You can use the website’s built-in sorting features to refine by genre, age group, and rating.
Keep in mind that some search features or lists include trigger warnings or content warnings. Always look that up before you start reading if you’re sensitive to certain topics. We suggest you use BookTriggerWarnings.com and CTRL + F on your keyboard to search for book titles you're interested in.
Get free e-books any time of year.
Luckily, Stuff Your Kindle Day isn't the only way to get free Kindle books. In fact, you can get free books any time of year, like through certain nonprofit programs (and even your local library).
These are some of the best ways to get free books for all ages:
Claim free e-books with Prime Reading.
One of the easiest ways to get free books is through Prime Reading, which comes free with your Amazon Prime membership. Prime Reading lets you access free e-books from authors like Colleen Hoover, plus a selection of magazines and audio books.
You can borrow up to 10 titles at a time. But if you have Kindle Unlimited, you can borrow up to 20 titles.
Borrow Kindle books for free with your library card.
You probably thought your library card was useless at this point in time. But you can actually use it to access tons of free e-books through various apps like Libby and cloudLibrary.
Not every library system uses these apps, but they work in most major cities.
Download free e-books from Gizmo's Best.
Gizmo's Best has over 700 websites listed where you can download free books. Each website has a different selection of books available, from fiction and illustrated books to biographies and math books.
Get free e-books for kids through the Amazing Books for Children program.
The CDC has a program called Amazing Books for Children, which offers free books and downloads for infants through elementary school ages. You can get free shipping on hard copies of the books, and the materials are also available for download.

Stuff Your Kindle Day FAQs
Is Stuff Your Kindle Day the same as Kindle Unlimited?
Nope! A common misconception is that the event is just Kindle Unlimited (KU), but bigger. However, there are a few key differences between the two. Kindle Unlimited is a subscription, so you’re still paying to borrow books. If you end your KU subscription, you’ll lose all the books you downloaded on KU. And some KU downloads have to be returned within a certain amount of time.
With Stuff Your Kindle Day, you get to keep every book you download forever. There are no returns necessary or subscription fees involved. And unlike KU, you don’t need a Kindle to get in on the action. The event is open to readers using a wide variety of devices.
Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member?
Nope, you don't need a Prime membership or even a Kindle to get the free e-books from Stuff Your Kindle Day.
Is the event only for romance books?
Since the original event is hosted by Romance Bookworms, it does tend to focus on romance titles. But, that doesn't mean it's the only genre available.
There are plenty of genres represented in the event, including fantasy, science fiction, YA, mystery, thriller, and more. Just don’t be surprised if there’s still a clear romance subplot.
Can I get free e-books for kids?
Yes and no. Stuff Your Kindle Day includes YA books, but not middle grade or picture books.
My advice? If you're hoping to pick up some free e-books for the teens in your life, exercise caution. While there are plenty of wholesome reads, the event also features some spicy stories and erotica. Be sure to check content warnings before downloading something for younger readers.
Will I find big-name authors on Stuff Your Kindle Day?
Stuff Your Kindle Day is an author-led event where a group of indie authors get together and work with various retailers to offer their books for free.
And because this is more indie-focused, you probably won’t find the biggest and most popular titles on BookTok. Rather, you’ll find books by smaller publishing houses and independent authors like Shea MacLeod or Molly Maple.
Do you need a Kindle to participate?
Nope, you can download e-books to almost any device on Stuff Your Kindle Day. The event caters to anyone with an iPhone, tablet, Nook, Kobo, or android.
