I have another way too. Go to bookbub.com and register for free and you will get an email every day with free and very inexpensive books you can download. These are sometimes just one day deals so check your email every day.

Or you could just search "free books". Add whatever genre you're looking for. "free historical romance books" is a fav.

I find all free Kindle books here: http://www.pixelofink.com/ New ones are listed twice a day. Many are free for only one day and back to regular price the next. If you have Amazon Prime, you can borrow books from Amazon library, keep as long as you like but only one book at a time. I'm not a fan of Overdrive. Very few of the newer books are listed to lend.

The best sight I have seen for free Kindle books is EreaderIq.com. I booked the sight and check every day and they will also send an email each day if you sign up. Hundreds of free books there

You can do a see amazon's top free 100 books in different genres by doing this:

Go to amazon.com
On the left click on Kindle, then click on Kindle books
On the left, click on "Kindles best sellers"
Then you can click on any genre on the left, and it will list the top 100 paid and top 100 free books.

re: books from Overdrive/library. I have been told by the local librarian that many of the newer books are not available due to the publisher not wanting to release them for e-reading...I guess the profit is not as great as a "real" book.......Most of the books that are free on Amazon are first time or relatively new authors who want to get their work/names out there....some are good some are really yawners!!!!!!I refuse to buy electronic books...just does not compute in my brain......I can always request a real copy of what I want from the library...does not have to be electronic. Have done all my life so far and it has worked so why fix it if it is not broken....jmho
