how to How To Load Up Your Kindle With Non-Amazon Book

Feedbooks: the open source alternative to the Amazon Kindle Store

If you don't already use Feedbooks, you're denying yourself access to what amounts to the free, open-source version of the Amazon Kindle store. On the down side, it won't have the Twilight books; but on the plus side, it won't have those Twilight books. To participate, go to Feedbooks (feedbooks.com/help/kindle) and download the Kindle-formatted catalogue. You do this directly on the device via the built-in browser or you can download it to your PC and copy it over via USB cable.

Now you're ready to "shop" for free, legal copies of ebooks. Make sure your wireless is turned on, then open the catalog like you would any ebook and browse through the available titles. When you find something you want, select it; you'll be taken to a download page on the device's built-in browser, and if you accept the download, the book will automatically be loaded onto your Kindle. See? It's just like using the Amazon store, only free!

A lot of public domain works are also available on the Amazon Store, some even offered by Amazon for free. But when you download from Feedbooks you get a copy that will always be yours. When you download those books from Amazon you're just purchasing a license that can (obviously) be revoked without warning. You can use Feedbooks.
Hope this useful.

Welcome to KindleBoards!

Thanks for the reminder about Feedbooks, as I'm sure many of our members are not familiar with it (despite it being listed in our Book Lovers' Links.  It is indeed a good source...though I doubt you'll find many of our member too worried about Amazon pulling their books.

Be sure to check our our other sources for books in the Book Lovers' Link Threadipedia, stickied at the top of this thread.
