How to Find Free Books for Your Kindle at Amazon.com

I haven’t found a great way to search for free books but I’ll walk you through how I’ve found some of them so far:

– Go to Amazon.com
– In the blue ‘Search’ navigation bar that runs across the top of the page, select ‘Kindle Store’ from the drop-down menu, then go to the right of the search form field (don’t enter anything into it) and click ‘Go’
– You should then see search results
– In the light blue bar that runs above the first search result, look for the drop-down menu next to ‘Sort By’
– The drop-down menu lets you sort by bestsellers, price, customer reviews, and publication date
– For me, the default view was ‘bestselling’
– Scroll down the list of bestsellers and you should see a few free books on the first page of results (the price will appear as ‘$0.00’)
– You can narrow your search by clicking ‘Kindle Books’ in the navigation on the left side of the page (after you click, you’ll then see a long list of genres on the left side of the page, such as ‘Fiction’, ‘Nonfiction’, ‘Advice & How-to’, ‘Arts & Entertainment’ — you can drill down even further by clicking one of these categories)
– At any point, you an use the ‘Sort by’ drop down menu in the upper right hand corner of the page to pull up free books (just select ‘Sort by Price Low to High’), or you can just scroll through the bestsellers and look for “$0.00”
