You can get thousands of free e-books over the course of 2024, if you know where—and when—to look. In January alone, Amazon Prime members using a Kindle device or app could take advantage of the Cozy Mystery Book Blast as well as an event from Witchy Book Worms where you could get hundreds of free “witchy” and mystery e-books.
This year will also be the 10th anniversary of Stuff Your Kindle Day, the biggest free e-book event of the year, offering up over a thousand free e-books. But in February, Prime members can also get a free Kindle e-book from Amazon’s First Reads program.
What is Amazon’s First Reads?
Table of Contents
Amazon First Reads is a program aimed at Prime members that offers early access to new e-books across many genres, as curated by First Reads editors. Prime members can choose to download one free e-book every month from a rotating list—though some months that number is bumped up to two—and non-members get them for a discounted price. These e-books can be read on any compatible Kindle device, or via the free Kindle app.

How to get your free Amazon Kindle e-book in February
Go to the First Reads landing page to see the full list of e-books available this month. Once you find a book that seems interesting, click the “Shop Now” button. Make sure you’re not being redirected to the Kindle mobile application, because you won’t see the free book option; instead, use your browser (or just “check out” your free book on your computer). Also, make sure you’re not clicking the ”Pre-order for…” button, as that will direct you to pay; instead, click the “Read for Free” button under the First Reads banner. This will send the e-book directly to the Kindle linked to your Amazon account.

You’ll know you did it right when you see a “Thanks, [your name]!” order summary saying the e-book is being auto-delivered to the Kindle Cloud Reader.
