Here’s What to Know!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Kindle is an extremely popular platform that allows book lovers to access millions of books with just one convenient e-reader. But do you still have to purchase them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have to buy books on Kindle from the Kindle store. However, subscriptions are also available: Kindle Unlimited and Prime Reading grant you access to a huge catalog of titles, with the latter included in Amazon Prime. You can also borrow Kindle books for free from your local library.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, I’ll explain how you can purchase books on your Kindle and discuss other ways to get your hands on the titles you’re interested in. Some of them can save you money if you’re a committed Kindle user, and some allow you to get the books you’re looking for completely free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the key benefits of Kindle is that it\u2019s very easy to navigate<\/strong>. Once you know how it works, you\u2019ll find that purchasing books on Kindle is highly convenient and very budget-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing you need to buy books on Kindle is an Amazon account to which your Kindle account will be linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, the Amazon account you use to buy a Kindle is linked to the newly purchased device right away. However, if that\u2019s not something you want, the option can be disabled. If you got the Kindle as a gift, for instance, it is likely not linked to an account yet,<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this case, you will need to sign into your account before you can use your Kindle. The device will prompt you to do that once it is turned on or offer to create an account if you don\u2019t have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Kindle interface is rather straightforward: once you\u2019re logged in, it gets you straight to the store, which is essentially the Home page. The other page is your library, where you can quickly access the books you\u2019ve already acquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Browse the store to pick a book you\u2019d like to buy. You can go through Amazon\u2019s recommendations lists or use Search if you already know what you are looking for. Once you find a title that grabs your attention, just click on it to get more details or purchase the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve selected the book you want to get and opened its page, you will see its price right under the title and rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the \u2018Buy\u2019 button to purchase the book. It will download automatically and become available in your library, where you can access it anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note, however, that the books you buy can only be accessed through the account that\u2019s linked to your Kindle. You can\u2019t move your purchases to another account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from a store where you can purchase books individually, Amazon also offers a subscription called Kindle Unlimited<\/a><\/strong>. While its name is slightly misleading, it can be a good deal for those who read a lot and like discovering new authors or genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The subscription grants access to over a million titles for only $9.99 a month. Most of those are self-published books, and you are not likely to find any recent hits or huge bestsellers on the list (with some honorary exceptions, like the Harry Potter books).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, if you are an active reader and are interested in indie authors, the subscription might interest you. It does come at quite cheap (less than the average price of one Kindle book) and allows you to get 20 titles at a time with no due dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you read a lot, want to save money, and the Kindle Unlimited catalog meets your interests, you\u2019ll probably get a lot out of this subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out this helpful article to learn more about how to sign up for Kindle Unlimited<\/a><\/strong> for free!<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow To Buy Books on Kindle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
