I recently discovered that amazon is selling lot of kindle books for free. You might think “Seriously ?” Yes, that’s what I thought too.
So all you have to do is,
Go to Amazon website and in the search bar type “Free ebooks” Once amazon shows you the search results you will be amazed. Mostly all the classics are available and there are other books too.
Select the book that you want and you will find a buying option “Buy Now for Free”.
As soon as you click that, your desired book will come to you Amazon kindle app.
Pretty cool isn’t it ?

Amazon Prime subscription is something very normal these days, so if you have a Prime account.
You have to open the Amazon Kindle app and click the “Discover” button in the app.
In the top there will be lot of categories, you will have to click the “Prime Reading” and all the books which are available for free to be borrowed by the Prime users will be shown. You can get any book you want from there.
You can borrow 10 books at a time, for more books you will have to return the books you have and get the new one.
Unlike the previous method, you can’t buy books here, you can only borrow them.

Amazon Audible
This app provides audio format books, with the help of this app, you can save lot of time and read lot of books compared to ebooks and physical books because with this app you can practically multi-task reading along with any other regular chore.
Audible provides FREE ONE MONTH TRIAL and for Prime subscribers FREE THREE MONTHS TRIAL.
You can cancel the subscription anytime you want before the trial gets over but the most interesting fact is even after cancelling the trial, you’ll get to keep the books you bought during the trial and can even exchange them for other books.

Juggernut
Juggernut is an ebook app in India, it was previously known as Airtel Books. Due to this lockdown, this app is providing many number of books for free for their reader.
You can simply download this app and start reading your favorite books there for free of cost.
-
Wattpad
So Wattpad is a platform created for aspiring writers and independent authors. Here you won’t get to read published books but many writers publish their works here. There are wide range of books available here, they also have ranking. According to the rankings you can find the perfect story you want to read. You can also directly interact with the writers in the app and if you’re a writer yourself, you could easily publish your story there as well.
I hope these apps are useful to you, these are the apps that I have been using for some 2 to 3 years regularly on everyday basis and had been extremely useful and good.
Rule this Lockdown with books
Happy Reading Folks!!!
