With Christmas wish-lists everywhere quickly being fulfilled, many readers will probably find a brand new e-reader under their Christmas tree this year. But what use is an e-reader without any books? Here are 7 easy ways to fill up your library…for free or about the price of a cup of coffee!
1) Browse through free or discounted e-books on Amazon’s “Deal of the Day,” Barnes & Noble’s “Daily Find,” or ChristanBook.com’s e-book section. All websites have a variety of deals at any given time, meaning that within minutes you can find your beloved favorites and fresh new titles to begin filling your e-reader.
2) Watch for publisher giveaways! Follow @moodybooks on Twitter for some great gifts and freebies from us, including a free e-book giveaway beginning January 2!
3) Crossway Books is also giving away a treasure: the ESV Bible Kindle edition! Download it for free right here.
4) Instead of buying a single book, search for discounted book collections (also known as book bundles). Because e-readers cut back manufacturing and shipping costs, you can get a real bargain by going digital! Our Jonathan Edwards collection, for example, is available now for just $16.48 as an e-book collection, cutting more than 50% off the list price and $10 off the paperback edition!
5) Check to see if your local library has an e-book lending program.
6) Visit websites such as archive.org, openlibrary.org, gutenberg.org, and manybooks.net for access to millions of historic collections that have been archived in digital format…all for free!
7) The Vessel Project blog curates weekly collections of free Christian e-books, which you can browse through at their “Free Resources” tab.
What other ways can you fill up a new e-reader? What are some of your favorite e-book titles? Happy reading and Merry Christmas!
