I have the Kindle app on my iPhone. Is there a way to get free books to read? I really cannot afford to buy ebooks.

I can’t speak specifically for Kindle, but I have Nook. I can search “free books”, or “books for 0.00”. Lots of good books, but they aren’t new. Or popular authors.
Or you could borrow from your digital library.
Overdrive
You can search amazon for free kindle books
Download Overdrive or Libby, find your local library in it, add your library card number and start checking out books.
Sign up at bookbub and bookgorilla
Yes I’ve got tons on my phone.
If you are a Amazon Prime member you can download free and 0.00 books.
And make sure that you sign up for Amazon First (recently renamed amazon first reads), which gives you one free book per month, a new release, via an email that comes out at the beginning of each month.
Amazon has pretty cheap used books, goodwill, and other thrift stores do too, you can find classics for free on project gutenberg. Then theres your local library 🙂
Your local library.
Also, talk to your friends who also have Kindles. Some of the Kindle books are eligible to loan to other people.
Sign up for bookbub – you tell them what genre you like and they send an email everyday that almost always has kindle or nook books for $0.00 that you click on and “buy” through your amazon account. I have gotten over 90 in the last year for no cost. They ask you to rate the books but don’t require it.
Overdrive app.

The Overdrive app. Freading and there are others.
Gutenberg Project has free books to download.
Hoopla also has books, both ebooks and audible for free, based on library(s) in your area.
I like Robin Reads. Found the most books to my liking.
Library
I’ve found that most of the classics are free on Kindle, just search for them in the kindle store
Try your library
My library uses Overdrive for ebooks and audiobooks. Go to the library and ask.
Yes there are plenty of free kindle books, some are promoted for a limited time so look at one or more of the websites that share them. 🙂
If you have Amazon prime, you can get prime books for free
Prime gives a few free books every month, also you can reserve ebooks from your local library
I use Kobo and get tons of great free ebooks!
Borrow from your library system. On to your kindle
Library.
Bookbub and then also get a couple of other books apps – like Kobo. That way you can take advantage of all the deals.
Library!
See if you library has books to check out electronically.
Book Gorilla, Book Bub and other sites similar. They have deals, and sometimes free books. Robin Reads is another.
I am a heavy user of Overdrive, that way I can download and read popular e-books and audio books for free. I set my loan period to 21 days and can place holds and wish-lists.
Overdrive is the best. In NYS, you can use your local library card/ system, and also NYPL. Huge system.

We have Libby, Overdrive and eread illinois, for ebooks thru our local library.
Sometimes the selection is not great but you can find some good books.
I live in a rural county where the county library can’ afford to have an electronic book loan system. According to my amazing librarian it’s expensive so you find these systems in cities or places with a higher population. That said I need to check out some of these other ideas. I’m going to check out Overdrive.
Ask your librarian if there is any way you can get an additional library card from the largest system in your state, in some states you can.
I will check that out. Thanks.
If you live in Pennsylvania the free library of Pennsylvania is wonderful has a great selection of ebooks. Every state should have one of these.
Kindle unlimited charges a monthly fee but you can download unlimited books (as long as they are part of the program and a lot of newer books are not)
You can borrow them through library app like Overdrive to your kindle app
Kindle Free Daily
one hundred free books OHFB
Bookbub
Sell Your phone, then you can buy yourself some real books. I’d rather have books than a phone any time.
In the UK (not sure if it’s the same everywhere) if you go onto the kindle book page then on bestsellers there’s an option for ‘free’ and you can download from there. There’s loads of classics for free – Jane Austen etc
Can you use a library (for e-books and/or real books)?
I do but not on the phone.
Freebooksy will send a daily email. You can just look up fee Kindle books on Amazon. Many authors will offer the first book in a series free. Tons of options.
Also, check your local library. Many lend e-books.
You can go to Amazon, to whatever genre you want and sort lowest to highest price. There are tons of free books out there that are really good.
http://tinyletter.com/FreeEbooks sends out a list of 15-20 free eBooks every weekday, across all genres. Enjoy!
When I used a nook i would enter free books on the search line and got some really good ones
Library. Seriously, I read over 60 books last year and bought like 3 of them. Everything else was through the library.
Overdrive or use you local library to check out ebooks.
Library
amazon has free books too. You just have to search for them.
Bookbub has free books
FreeBooksy
We use the app called “Overdrive” where you select your library, put in your number and then can select ebooks to take out. We love it!
I recommend Overdrive too! And Hoopla Digital. You’ll need a library card to use both of them but they’re completely free.
Amazon has lots of free books, including many of the classics.
Type in free fiction or free books. Also, bookbub will send emails to you with free and cheap books for Amazon kindle.
