   I have to admit that i was skeptical in buying this book. I bought it because it was only 99 cents, and expected that I would not get my money’s worth out of it. Clearly, I was wrong. I could not believe how many sites for free kindle books were listed. This is a very informative book that helped me enlarge my kindle library.

   My sister showed me this book over Thanksgiving on her Kindle, and I studied it for a long time researching the various place to find free Kindle books so I decided to get my own copy. For the price, I think this is worth every penny and then some! It actually seems to point you to well over a million free books if you had the time to read that many in your lifetime. In addition to telling you specifically how to find the free books on the Amazon website, it points you to 20 other places with a description of the content and format of each one. Now that’s useful information to me! We’re in a recession and I am trying to watch every penny so I need something free!

   The book also shows you how to transfer the books to your Kindle, which I imagine is helpful to kindle owners – my sister seems to think so but I can not comment as I am using the PC kindle application (can’t afford to shell out the bucks for a Kindle in this economy). Now I may have to try out this guy’s blog!

   Just read the e-book in my kindle and found some really great sites, however it bothers me when sites such as:
   
   1) Baen, who has a great fantasy/sf collection claims to have prc files compatible with kndle, and when you transfer to the device it only registers the title and not the author’s name (which makes it impossible to order by author)
   
   2) Open Library, which also has a very complete collection, but some of the works from aldous huxley in mobi file had lots of errors showing some bugs in the files made available (even if they are made available for free)
   
   3) World Library and Bookyards, with great titles but only pdf which even if converted by kindle still is difficult to read and appears wrongly catalogued making it impossible to do a good sorting job by author

   However it’s nice to find some other great sites.

   I paid $2 and I have already downloaded four free books from non Amazon sites. It’s simple math. Also gives a tutorial on how to move info to Kindle. Can’t go wrong with this one.

   This was quite helpful with several sources (links) to websites that offer books in digital format. I intend on visiting every site.
