I love free~ especially free books. I recently found that amazon has many books for free. The catch is that these books are formatted for use with the Kindle reader only. If you are like me and don’t have a Kindle, don’t fret. Kindle is available for your PC, and the best part is the download is free. I downloaded mine and the installation was simple. This reader is very easy to use and has several nice options. I was concerned about reading books on my computer as I didn’t want to strain my eyes, but the Kindle has a setting which allows you to change the background color/text. I prefer the sepia setting as it seems to be easiest on my eyes. I also like that the reader allows you to bookmark your place so that each time you open the book it returns you to the page where you were reading last. It also has a feature enabling you to search for words and phrases within the text. I didn’t want a fancy reader with lots of options I wouldn’t use and the Kindle for PC was great for my needs as it is simple to use.

Now for the free books! Amazon has many free Kindle books in the Kindle Store. I was able to download many G. A. Henty books for our family read alouds. Other books I downloaded are:
