The only thing better than having access to thousands of books at the click of a button is having access to thousands of free books at the click of the button.
That's basically the idea behind Stuff Your Kindle Day, an author-organized event that brings tons of romance e-books to the total cost of $0 and yes, the books are yours to keep. Understandably, this event has been drumming up excitement on TikTok, so here's what you need to know if you're planning on picking up a few (or more) free books when the day rolls around.
When is Stuff Your Kindle Day?
Stuff your Kindle Day happens four times a year, with the final Stuff Your Kindle Day of this year falling on Dec. 27. You'll want to mark this in your calendar, as the event will last for one day only. In 2023 thus far, it also happened on March 31, June 30, Sept. 20.
Who can participate in Stuff Your Kindle Day?
Anyone! You don't need to own a Kindle to grab these titles — Kobo and Nook readers can snag them for free too. You'll also find the titles available available on the Google Play and Apple Books apps.
So, even if you don't have an e-reader, download these titles on your preferred app and read them straight from your phone. The creator of the day, romance author Zoe York, said it best when she tweeted that the day is "really Stuff Your E-Reader Day."
What e-books will be free?
Technically, you can get free e-books from Amazon year-round. So while you can search "Stuff Your Kindle Day" on the website and get results for plenty of free titles (even before the event), it will require more digging.
Our recommendation is to check out the official list SYKD books when it drops on Dec. 27, on the blog Romance Bookworms. There, you'll be able to see the titles sorted by retailer and sub-genres of romance, including tropes like enemies to lovers.
How is it different than Amazon Kindle Unlimited?
Amazon Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service where you pay $11.99 per month to borrow up to 20 books per month. If you stop your subscription, you will no longer be able to borrow the books.
The books offered through Stuff Your Kindle Day are yours to keep, and there is no cap on how many books you can pick up during the day.
If you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, your ability to participate in Stuff Your Kindle Day won't be at all affected (the event is not Amazon-sanctioned). You can grab hundreds of free books, and not a single one will take one of your 20 Unlimited spots.
