Stock up on 1000s of free e-books on Stuff Your Kindle Day

Stuff Your Kindle Day: On Sept. 5, readers can download thousands of romance titles as part of Stuff Your Kindle Day.

Stuff Your Kindle Day is one of those events that has you reading the small print, because you’ve become ground down by life and believe that nothing in life truly comes free. Except it does, because this special day provides access to literally thousands of free books. We know you’re waiting for the catch, but in this case, there really isn’t one. It’s as good as it sounds.

Stuff Your Kindle Day is a 24-hour author-organized event that drops the price of thousands of romance e-books to absolutely nothing. And better yet, the books that you choose to download are yours to keep.

Looking to make the most of Stuff Your Kindle Day? Fear not, bookworms. We have read ahead and lined up everything you need to know about this generous event.

Who can take part in Stuff Your Kindle Day?

Another great thing about Stuff Your Kindle Day is that anyone can take part. Yes, even you.

We know that “Kindle” is in the name, but you don’t even need to own a Kindle to get involved in all the fun. Kindle, Kobo, and Nook readers can download these free e-books. And you can even download these books on your preferred app and read them straight from your phone, as you can also find these free titles on the Google Play and Apple Books apps.

Which e-books are free?

Amazon has helpfully created a Stuff Your Kindle Day landing page so participants can find exactly what they’re looking for without wasting important reading time. Here Amazon has listed some standout titles and organized everything by genre. We appreciate the effort Amazon, but since this is an author-led event, it’s important to recognize that there are alternative ways to find something right for you.

We suggest checking out the official list of Stuff Your Kindle Day books on the Romance Bookworms blog. Titles are sorted by retailer and sub-genres of romance, so you can really pinpoint the perfect books to keep you entertained through the dark days ahead.

Is Stuff Your Kindle Day the same as Amazon Kindle Unlimited?

Everything you pick up on Stuff Your Kindle Day is yours to keep, with no limit on the number of books you can download. That’s great news, but what does that mean if you already have an Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscription?

Kindle Unlimited subscribers can still participate in Stuff Your Kindle Day as it isn’t an official Amazon event. And crucially, Stuff Your Kindle Day downloads won’t count towards the 20 books per month that subscribers can borrow.
