For hardcore bookworms, there can’t be anything better than the offer of a free e-book. Things get even more special when the book in question happens to be one that is yet to reach the mass market, which means you are going to be among the first to have access to it. Amazon has such an offer going as part of its First Reads program and the best thing here is that this month, Amazon is offering 2 free e-books instead of the usual one book it offers every month.
Just in case you aren’t well versed with the Amazon First Reads program, you have to be an Amazon Prime member to have access to First Reads. Also, the said book can only be read via the Kindle app or the Kindle e-reader itself. So, you must have either of these to make the most of First Reads. Once you are past these two minimum requirements, you can proceed to the First Reads page where all the fun begins.
Amazon has eight titles lined up every month which are available for you to read before they are published. This is one way Amazon rewards Prime members, by offering exclusive access to a yet to be published title. As already stated, you usually have the option to download and keep with you any of the title though this month, Amazon is offering you an extra title as an extra bonus.
However, before you get into the actual downloading process, make sure to access the First Reads page via a web browser. Doing so with the Kindle or via the Kindle application is not going to work. After you have chosen the book that you wish to download, click on the ‘Read for Free’ option. Make sure you don’t click on the ‘Pre-Order Now’ button.
Apart from the book that you choose, there is the second bonus title – The Fall Risk by Abby Jimenez that is also available to download for free. The second title is described by the editor as a short romantic novel which is ‘perfect in every way’, one that can shake off your winter blues. Apart from the two titles available for free, you can also opt to buy the other titles as well. Every additional First Reads title can be bought for $1.99 each.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
