Before You Start

You'll need:

  • A free Amazon account — Sign up at amazon.com if you don't have one
  • A payment method on file — Amazon requires this even for free purchases (you won't be charged)
  • The Kindle app — Download free for iOS, Android, PC, or Mac (or use a Kindle device)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Find a Free Book

Browse our verified free books or search Amazon. Look for books with a Kindle Price of $0.00.

Step 2: Go to the Amazon Product Page

Click on the book to open its Amazon product page. All our listings link directly to Amazon.

Step 3: Verify the Price

On the product page, look for "Kindle Price" and confirm it says $0.00.

Important: If you see "$0.00 Kindle Unlimited" but a different "Kindle Price," the book is NOT truly free — it requires a KU subscription.

Step 4: Click "Buy now with 1-Click"

Click the orange "Buy now with 1-Click" button on the right side of the page.

Don't worry about the word "Buy" — you won't be charged for a $0.00 book.

Step 5: Confirmation

You'll see a confirmation page saying "Thank you for your order." The total will show $0.00.

Step 6: Access Your Book

Open the Kindle app on your device. The book will appear in your library automatically (may take a minute to sync).

Common Issues & Solutions

"The price changed!"

Free promotions can end at any time. If the price is no longer $0.00, the deal has expired. Check our today's deals for current free books.

"I don't see Buy now with 1-Click"

Make sure you're logged into your Amazon account. If you're on mobile, try switching to desktop view or using the Amazon app.

"It says I need to add a payment method"

Amazon requires a payment method on file for all purchases, even free ones. Add a card — you won't be charged for $0.00 books.

"The book isn't showing in my Kindle app"

Try these steps:

  1. Wait 1-2 minutes for sync
  2. Pull down to refresh your library
  3. Check that you're logged into the same Amazon account
  4. Go to Settings → Sync in the Kindle app

How Book Deal Finder Verifies Prices

Unlike other sites, we automatically verify every book's price directly on Amazon before showing it to you. This means you'll never click on an expired deal or a book that's no longer free.

  • Real-time price verification from Amazon
  • Expired deals automatically removed
  • Goodreads ratings for quality filtering
