These sites contain lots of free books in kindle format. You can download them to your PC then transfer them to your kindle or you can use your kindle browser to load them directly onto your kindle.

Thanks Patti, looks like Manybooks has some books in French, when Amazon just seems to have the classics mostly at the moment (or I don't get to the newer books as I've given up before I get there...)

Cool Lorraine! Im glad I posted the site!

Lol gonna have to do some serious reading though !

Thanks for highlighting these Patti. Manybooks.net is my favourite - I've downloaded several books from there!

Thank you Patti.

Not sure if this is allowed

If not, then you can go to http://www.ereaderiq.co.uk/search/ and click on Free Kindle books

That's a great amazon link, Fiona. Thanks.

Oooo! Thank you Mel!

Just found this...

Not sure if anyone has posted this but, here's a great UK site of free books. I get a daily email of the books that are free that day and there are some really good ones. I've got 4 today.

Once you register with the site - it's free to join - you can customise your search by genre, so it will only send you an email of books in genres you read, which saves ploughing through every single free book to look for the type you want.

Enjoy!

Thanks Tina! Yes you're right, it's a great site.

I get an email from them every day, then post the link here in the group.

I really like that the books with reviews show on the first page. Helps to sort the good ones from the dross a bit.

For a UK based listing site see Indie Book Bargains

Thanks Rosen, I will have a good look at it later.

The hundred word fiction thingies in the emails are very cool.

Today's is Michael Brookes

They're quite good fun to write as well :-D

Yes, we're having a lot of fun with the 'drabbles'. We could do with a few more though, if anybody from here would like to try their hand at writing one?

Perhaps you'd like to open a thread in the author zone asking for submissions, Rosen?

I expect you authory types would find such a task either quite challenging or quite relaxing.

Or perhaps I've got my thinking dead wrong,not being an authory type...

Oh and 'drabbles' is a great word.

Not as wonderful as 'kumquat' but a great word nonetheless.

Thank you! Will start a thread a bit later!

You're welcome!

Not sure why you thanked me, though. Not like I threw chocolate at you. Which you wouldn't thank me for anyway. I've got a mean lob, I do.

drabbles in my head = fanfic.


i have done many a drabble in my day.

Hey, guys! I run a site called CentslessBooks over at http://centslessbooks.co.uk/

It updates hourly with the most-downloaded eBooks from Amazon, and its content is specifically geared toward the UK! If you guys have any advice or comments regarding the site, I'd love to hear them. You guys seem to have a great little community here, and I'd love to be a part of it!

Thanks, Centlessbooks - I've bookmarked the page.

Hang around and join in the chat, everyone is very welcome!

Hi Everyone

I've just started a Kindle Blog for UK. Please take a look. Suggestions are welcome.

http://www.freebooksuk.com/

Looking through this thread I haven't seen this site mentioned. FreeReadFeed.com

I use this a lot as I've found it the best one and it's easy to use.

http://uk.freereadfeed.com/

I've been working on the site eBookShark.co.uk. It lists the Free Kindle Bestsellers from Amazon UK with some filter options.

Free Romance Novels is my favorite site. You can read the latest books on pdf.

Thanks Sara!

If you fancy it, I've got a blog with free kindle books - edited once a day to remove all that have increased in price. Everything on the blog is still free - all the way back to 4 Sept. (UK based, of course).

Hope I am not too late.
Here's a great website for free e-books on a daily basis.

I use http://uk.dailyfreebooks.com/ to get my free Kindle books. Thanks for the other suggestions though, I'm going to take a look. I may be gone for some time.......

I came across this place yesterday:

https://standardebooks.org

They say they are:

The Standard Ebooks project is a volunteer driven, not-for-profit effort to produce a collection of high quality, carefully formatted, accessible, open source, and free public domain ebooks that meet or exceed the quality of commercially produced ebooks. The text and cover art in our ebooks is already believed to be in the public domain, and Standard Ebook dedicates its own work to the public domain, thus releasing whole ebooks files themselves into the public domain.

I downloaded Three Men in a Boat to check it out and it does look pretty good - higher quality than Guttenburg.

Worth a look if you are after out of copyright stuff.

Free download for this dramatic mystery thriller 16th-18th November


On hearing the news her adopted father has suffered a second heart attack, Shani Bălcescu dashes from St Aquinas College in Oxford to be at his bedside in Prague. Her father asks her forgiveness, but Shani takes his words to be little more than the ramblings of a dying man. Until the following day, when she discovers the name Tuma Dangbo, a former Séroulése president gunned down in a devastating coup in the West African state thirty-eight years ago.

French journalist, Nicolas Dubois, helps Shani make sense of her ancestry, before introducing her to the leader of the Séroulése rebels at a safe house in London. Just as Shani starts to trust and have feelings for the journalist, he sends her a bizarre text and breaks contact. Nicolas’s disappearance threatens to derail her already fragile state of mind, and with an attempted coup in Séroulé virtually underway, ‘friend or foe’ takes on a new meaning for Shani as she questions whether she is being manipulated by the rebels, and that the present despotic regime is about to be replaced by another, only with much greater and far-reaching repercussions.

My Next Read is a new newsletter/website that has great free and bargain books every day.
