How do I import free books from Project Gutenberg to my Kindle?

I figured it out, and it was much too simple.

However, I’m still interested in other sources for free books.

Yes! I love Kindle’s email it to yourself process.

And…

No other sources for free books?

You’re slacking off, @Seek.

I’m still really trying to get into the e-book thing. I mostly use it to read things I can’t get in paper format, like reports from archaeological digs.

But if you want to know the proportions of various grains found in Viking rubbish tips, I get that info on academia.edu

I read almost everything on my Kindle nowadays. I’m a speed reader, and I can fly through pages on the Kindle. It doesn’t hurt that it’s small and light weight.

I’ve gone back to preferring book books but I find the Kindle app on my iPad useful for traveling.

When I first started reading ebooks, I used the Kindle app on a tablet. I quite liked it, and then I bought the least expensive Kindle and fell in love. It’s so easy on the eyes; it’s so easy to hold; it’s so easy to advance the page. Just love it. Now, I have a Kindle Paperwhite. The biggest difference with the ordinary Kindle is the resolution. The letters are crisper.

It’s very simple to read on a cramped bus. I’ve figured out how to hold it and advance the pages with one hand. I don’t have to move my hands or arms around at all.

(Kindles happen to be on sale right now.) (My commission comes later.)

May check with yours but the local library system here allows you to check out ebooks directly to your kindle through their website.

Thank you. Yes, I believe I can do that. I will learn how it works.

Since I’m a novice – Kindles have email addresses? how do I find mine?

Go to the Amazon website.
Go to Manage my content and devices.
The page has different areas to choose. Pick devices.
It will show a list of your registered devices and somewhere on that page it will have your device’s email address. My address is my name @ kindle.com

You can also type that exact question into Google and get the instructions.

Thanks @Hawaii_Jake . I had no idea the thing even had an address. Now to figure out who registered it.

It was registered when you bought it.

You might want to look into if your public library has OverDrive/Library2Go. I believe that has Kindle support.

Google books is another source for freeebies.

For those who don’t own an ereader already, this is the big downside to the Kindle.

Nook and Kobo read the standard epub format, Kindle does not in an effort to to keep you locked into the Amazon bookstore

I’m not a Kindle hater, but I would not buy one.

It was registered when you bought it.

Meaning if you buy a Kindle from Amazon, they automatically connect it to your Amazon account.

Yeah. On Black Friday I bought 6 of the Kindle Fire HD 8 since they were 60 each for Christmas gifts. I was in for a bit of a shock when they all came logged into my Amazon account. I am still cleaning this mess up.

Ah, ok. No, mine was bought in Canada at a time Amazon didn’t really exist here. I’ll find another way in.

One of the best things (for me) is loading free audio books from free-ebooks.net onto the kindle. Very handy when I’m on transit. I don’t always want to read but I do want to be distracted/entertained.

@BellaB If you are listening to audio books, that is not a Kindle. Kindles do not have speakers.

The Kindle Fire tablets have headphone jacks and speakers.

They’re full-on Android tablets, not restricted to e-reading like the black & white models.

^^A Fire tablet is not a Kindle. It is as you correctly point out an Android tablet that is capable of much more than a Kindle can do.

Kindle

Fire Tablet

Kindle Fire HD 7

@Call_Me_Jay Yes, that’s a tablet. That is not a simple Kindle, which is what this question is about. That device will use the Kindle app to read books. A Kindle does not use the app. This question is not about importing free books to the app. It is about importing free books to the Kindle.
