did you know that there are thousands of free kindle books on amazon every day? and that you don't need a kindle to read them. (there is a free amazon app which lets you read kindle books on your smartphone or computer.) there is a number of sites that give the daily listings, my fave is:

http://www.ereaderiq.com/free/

today there are 4748 free books. if you sign in each day, the site will save your preferences, so you can search for just the books you are interested in. in the past couple of months i've downloaded hundreds of diet, fitness, nutrition books for free. some stink, big time, but i have managed to find quite a few valuable resources. reading my selections every day helps to keep me on track. i download all the smoothie and juicing books i see, and have something new to drink every day. mostly i absorb ideas, fundamentals and some amazing hints. i don't go for the way-out stuff, lol, but if you read something that sounds reasonable over and over, you just might remember it and find a way to incorporate it into your 'lifestyle" or diet.

here are some of the books i downloaded over the past few days:

    Good tip. Also, most Kindles have a 'text to speech' feature. I sometimes take my Kindle along while walking the dogs, with earphones. It's a machine voice but you get used to it.

    My only problem with this is that most anyone can publish an ebook on Amazon so there is no guarantee that the info youre getting in these books is actually, you know, factual.

    Yeah, I'd say stick to books that have actually been published in paper form, but that's no guarantee, either. Tim Ferriss keeps getting published and he's pretty much just making stuff up. :laugh:

    Yay for Kindles! Audiobooks are great for exercising, driving, cleaning, etc. There are lots of them out there (with non-computer voices, too!) at your local library!

    Oh yeah, there are Kindle library books now, too! They're easier to check out than other e-books, I find. And no worries about late fees. They just quit working for you when your loan period is up.

    They are not free to Kindle owners. They are "free" to Prime members and that is not free. So basically they are not free.

    I'll stick with iTunes. There are free books there that are really honestly free. Although like these, anyone can publish them and most of the info is rubbish but they entertain me.

    nope, these are free to anyone, even people without a kindle. you can use the free amazon kindle reader app to read them. there are tons of books described each day, and you can choose the genres you want to read. there are some books by established, respected authors, like william diehl who writes great thrillers, and some real gems by new indie authors. and yes, there are some badly written, badly edited books, too, which can be amusing. hey, they're free.

    take a LOOK:
