The free Kindle books I'm talking about are not part of anything you have to sign up for. You simply look for the kind of books you enjoy - suspense, romance, westerns, mystery, etc. Then sort by price. There are a lot that you can "purchase" for free, no strings attached, no sign-ups, nothing. I've purchased probably 50+ free books for my Kindle in the last couple of years and never been charged any kind of fee.

Here's an example: I searched for "mystery books", then sorted by price, and bingo! free Kindle books. I scrolled down 10 pages of free listings before I got bored and quit looking. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1...qid=1502943411

The listings do change; my friend got a free book and recommended it, but when I went to get it 2 weeks later, it was no longer free.
