Amazon Prime subscribers have the opportunity to obtain two electronic books gratis during September.
In 2024, you can obtain numerous free e-books throughout the year if you know the right sources and times. Amazon continuously provides free Kindle e-books to readers, with fresh opportunities surfacing every month.
This year marks the decade celebration of Stuff Your Kindle Day, the most significant free e-book event of the year, offering over a thousand free e-books on September 5. Prime members can snag two free Kindle e-books from Amazon's First Reads program in September, including this month's short read.
So, what is Amazon's First Reads?
Amazon First Reads is a service designed for Prime members, offering early access to various e-books across various genres, curated by First Reads editors (one of your numerous Prime Member perks). Prime members can opt for downloading one free e-book every month from a rotating list—some months even have a double feature—while non-members can purchase them at a reduced cost. These e-books can be read on any compatible Kindle device or via the free Kindle app.

Visit the First Reads landing page to view the complete list of e-books available for this month. Once you find an intriguing title, click the "Shop Now" button from the First Reads landing page. Make sure the purchase isn't redirecting you to the Kindle or Amazon mobile application, as the free book option won't be visible there; instead, use your internet browser on your phone or computer.

Avoid clicking the "Pre-order for..." button, as it will lead you to pay; instead, click the "Read for Free" or the "Buy Now with 1-Click" button under the "First Reads" banner on the book's Amazon page (don't worry, you won't be charged). This will send the e-book directly to the Kindle connected to your Amazon account.
