Free books on Kindle

At the back of my old grey cells I seem to remember that with the Kindle Fire there is something in settings that allows you to get books from other sources. Either something has to be turned off or on.
People reading on other devices I have found the Blufire Reader app the best for taking books from many sources. Sometimes I have to send the book to Dropbox and the transfer it out to Bluefire.
Does that make any sense?

Thank you Grannyknot for the suggestion. Just tried to get that and they have priced it at £2.05. Mean old Amazon!

Did you have any luck with Gutenberg broomsticks? As grandimars posted earlier on this thread, you download from Gutenberg to your computer then drag & drop to your kindle. I did try but it wouldn't do as it was told.
Don't know what I did wrong.

Thanks FlicketyB. My kindle is a bit of a basic model but I might be able to do that.

I was able to download one directly without a problem. i did it directly from my kindle and not via my computer. Unfortunately I haven't done it recently so I cannot remember how I did it.

Does anyone know how to get the Gutenberg books onto your kindle. I downloaded one but have no idea where it went

£2 now Grannyknot.

I have a feeling that library ebooks can be downloaded for free onto an ipod.

Let me try that again. I meant is not if (I don't lisp). www.amazon.co.uk/In-Cats-Eye-Kevin-Bergeron-ebook/dp/B00D0VYD9K/ref

This one if 99p published by Harper Collins and I love it. It's a mystery, sort of like Curious Incident meets Steinbeck.

I've had a Kindle for a while.
I downloaded Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby for free.

If you're happy to spend less than a quid then good value at 85p is:
I Will Have What Is Mine by Jane Lythell. It's real page turner.

Also good value at under a pound in The Bookseller of Grasse which is set in Provence.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi flickety I'm sure I've seen Gutenberg mentioned on Gransnet before. I've never checked it out, but will do so now.

I am surprised no one seems to have mentioned PROJECT GUTTEMBOURG
www.gutenberg.org/

This an enormous resource of free books. Although they do ask people to make a donation to running the site. It does not have recent books as it consists of out of copyright books digitised by volunteers. This means the range of books reflects digitisers interests but it has many thousand of books available, but but if you want the classics or esoteric literature in a variety of languages, then this is the place to go. I did manage to find some John Buchan here

Today's Kindle offer has a book by Michael Arditti. It's excellent. Only £1.00

I hope you like it sunflowersuffolk. I have now downloaded another book by the same author for free from Amazon - D I Ghost by Lauren White. I haven't started it yet but the blurb is pretty captivating and Night Monsters was brilliant I thought.

Thanks Jan09, just downloaded Night Monsters, looks interesting.

Just seen that "After the Fall" by Charity Norman is available at the moment on Kindle for only 99p. It is a brilliant book, well worth having.

I have downloaded Night Monsters by Lauren White from Amazon for free. It's a emotional churner but I really enjoyed it.

Has anyone got a blackberry tablet it doubles as an e-reader but getting books on it is absolute pants. All it seems to offer is American High School romance.
Any ladies on here had any success with their Blackberry tablet.

My wife gets books almost free on her e-reader. She recently got three books about a jockey/detective ala Dick Francis written in the 1990s. I read all three in the last four days: they are rather like novellas. This collection is called "The Eddie Malloy Series". It is written by two v. knowledgeable writers who seem to have a deep background in jumps and flat track racing including Ascot which I have never been to but watched on television. I also read coverage of Ascot in the Telegraph - wish I could get my lovely bride to dress up and wear a fascinator!

There is a new Tim Vicary free on Kindle today, Bold Counsel (The Trials of Sarah Newby. I've not read it yet, but his other books have been really good.

thanks for that there are some good books in there.

Thanks for the tip Sunflower. Cat and Mouse is being downloaded on my PC right now. The reviews are great

I've just finished Cat & Mouse by Tim Vicary currently free on Kindle. I really enjoyed it - I had read a couple of his previous books on the trials of Sarah Newby, but this is different.

It is a romance and a thriller with an interesting historical background, quite a few plot lines going on, but very well done.

It is set in 1914 and is about 2 sisters, one lives in London and is a militant suffragette, the other is in Ireland and her husband joins the Ulster Volunteers.

Recommended.

Two Ss in classics.
