Amazon Prime Members Can Get Two of These E-Books for Free in April
You can get thousands of free eBooks throughout 2024 if you know where and when to look for them. Amazon is offering free Kindle eBooks to readers all year long, with new options added every month.
This year also marks the 10th anniversary of Stuff Your Kindle Day , the largest free ebook event of the year, offering over a thousand free ebooks. But that’s coming later this year—in April, Prime members will be able to get two free Kindle e-books through Amazon’s First Reads program.
What are Amazon’s First Reads?
Amazon First Reads is a program designed for Prime members that offers early access to new ebooks in many genres, curated by First Reads editors (one of the many benefits of Prime members ). Prime members can download one free ebook each month from a rotating list (though that number increases to two in some months), and non-members get them at a reduced price. These eBooks can be read on any compatible Kindle device or through the free Kindle app.
How to Get Free Amazon Kindle eBooks in April
Go to the First Read landing page to see the full list of eBooks available this month. Once you find a book you find interesting, click the Buy Now button. Make sure you’re not redirected to the Kindle mobile app because you won’t see the free book option; use a browser instead (or just “check out” the free book on your computer).
Make sure you do not click the “Pre-order for…” button as this will require you to pay; instead, click the “Read Free” button under the “First Read” banner. The eBook will be sent directly to the Kindle linked to your Amazon account.
You can see what it should look like in the screenshot below.
You’ll know you’ve done it right when you see the message “Thank you, [your name]!” An order summary indicating that the ebook is automatically delivered to Kindle Cloud Reader.
Free Amazon Kindle eBooks Coming April 2024 (Choose Two)
This month, you can choose from eight Kindle eBooks, plus a free “bonus short read,” Cut and Thirst: A Short Story by Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale .
Amazon notes each book’s genre above the title, offering a quick way to narrow down your selection. If you hover your cursor over the “See. Editor’s Notes” under the “Buy Now” button, you can read a short review from the First Read editor who selected the book.
