If you own an Amazon Kindle, free books are waiting to be discovered! While literally tens of thousands of free books are available because of expired copyrights, your choices are vast. Not only that, you may be surprised at the selection of freebies outside of the public domain.

Where to Find Amazon Kindle Free Books - Start with the Kindle Store

Amazon's Kindle Store is loaded with free books for your Kindle. The two main places to look are:

• Free eBook Collections (it's located in the left pane under "Special Features")

• Bestsellers > Top 100 Free

The Free eBook Collections page is filled with resources. Not only can you find public domain classics like Gulliver's Travels and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Amazon regularly lists limited time promotional offers from today's publishers promoting new releases. One of the biggest benefits of going directly to the Kindle Store as you search for Amazon Kindle free books is that any book you choose is easily delivered to your Kindle via Amazon's 1-Click order system.

Finding Amazon Kindle Free Books via the Public Domain

Project Gutenberg is a vast collection of free eBooks available on the Web. With a mission of encouraging the creation and distribution of eBooks, Gutenberg.org has over 33,000 free eBooks available for download. A variety of formats are offered including the Kindle format.

If you're interested in downloading historical documents, head over to Archive.org where you'll find millions of books and historical texts. This huge collection is broken down into libraries such as American Libraries and Canadian Libraries.

Some books in the public domain feature "send to Kindle" functions while others need to be transferred to your Kindle via your computer. One easy workaround is to download the eBook to your computer and then email files to the Kindle .

Blogs Focused on Amazon Kindle Free Books

The blogosphere is loaded with bloggers focused on the Kindle with many specializing in reporting on the latest Amazon Kindle free books released. You can even subscribe to some of these blogs for a nominal fee and have the posts delivered directly to your Kindle. One of these blogs, Free Kindle Books and Tips, is currently the number 1 bestseller in the Kindle Store's Blog & News Feed section. Kindle Daily Nation and OnKindle are close behind coming in at the 3rd and 4th positions respectively. Priced between one and two dollars a month, subscribing to any one of these blogs is sure to save you money in free books.

With so many Amazon Kindle free books available, you'll never run out of reading material or money for more books!
