Kindle Buffet: Find and download the best free books, magazines and newspapers for your Kindle, iPhone, iPad or Android

Free books, all you can eat!
One of the best things about Amazon’s Kindle system is that many popular books are offered completely free of charge during brief promotional periods. If you manage to find and download a book while it’s offered free, it’s yours to keep — forever.
It’s a great way to sample a new genre, or perhaps discover an author you hadn’t noticed before. The free promotions usually last only a few days, but there’s a new crop every day. You’ll be amazed at the wealth

List Price: $ 5.95

    A nifty, no-frills guide, September 23, 2012
    By 

    Disclaimer: I received a hard copy of this book free from the author, through the Goodreads First Reads program.

    This is a nifty, no-frills guide to maximizing your Kindle’s potential using free content. To that end, the author, who obviously loves his subject, outlines many sources of free reading material, including books and newspapers, and he uses screenshots generously to help the newbie or tech-challenged understand.
    The first few pages of this 53 page guide are devoted to where to get free books. Weber also introduces you to his own website, which sorts through the myriad Amazon freebies each day and picks out the highest rated for the discerning reader. The next section is devoted to tools to help manage your library and convert files to usable formats. He introduces the reader to the freeware program Calibre, which can also be used for newspaper feeds. The author also provides some information on how to use the productivity features of the Kindle Fire, and useful information on apps and utilities.
    As the title suggests, the bulk of the content is Kindle-related, but there is still useful information for users of other e-readers.
    I really learned a lot from this book, being somewhat new to e-readers (I have an e-ink Nook and a Kindle app on my i-touch). Now the biggest issue I have is having way too many good books to read (so many books, so little time…). I may just have to invest in a Kindle Fire now…

    I downloaded this book because it was free. But it’s truly been a pleasant surprise. I’ve learned so many new things and discovered so many more apps and websites and things to do with my Kindle. Free can be good and worth your time after all!

    Its worth it for a single tip., October 15, 2012

    Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

    I picked this ebook up today and flipped through it quickly just to get a feel for what information was provided. I stopped at the Calibre section to read a little more closely. I downloaded Calibre to my PC a year or so ago but really never use it. Since this book revealed to me that I could get newspapers delivered for free I had to check it out. Wow, I never knew about this feature. Within about 2 minutes I was reading the english language newspaper from my old hometown, The Japan Times. I also checked out my current hometown paper and the Associated Press. If this is the only tip I use from this book it was worth it, but I am sure I’ll find other useful information once I read it more closely.

    This is the second ‘how to’ book I’ve downloaded by this author. I like how he explains things in a simple way that even the technically challenged such as myself can understand.
