Started with 5 books and ended up with 67. If you find any more free to claim ebooks from Amazon or elsewhere, please link them below so other users can check them out. Or if you have enough post them as a deal and link the post here.

There are quite a lot of AmazonClassics Editions, I tried to limit to the bigger ones. Amazon makes these fairly hard to find but there are many more in addition to these.

Another thing to note, most of these give you a -90% discount on the Audible audiobook. Many are just A$2.99.

    Nice find, thank you.

      Project Gutenberg has been around since before Amazon existed. It contains electronic copies of old and out-of-copyright books.

      It is a fantastic resource. They not have audiobooks too!

      • +1

        Why is not having audiobooks such a good thing?

        • +3

          Daniel coauthored a 2010 study that found students who listened to a podcast lesson performed worse on a comprehension quiz than students who read the same lesson on paper. “And the podcast group did a lot worse, not a little worse,” he says. Compared to the readers, the listeners scored an average of 28% lower on the quiz—about the difference between an A or a D grade, he says.

          I bet it should be "They now have audiobooks too!"

      • +1

        They not have audiobooks?

      • sorry, a typo, I meant to type: "They noW have audiobooks too!"

    • +3

      Standard eBooks takes many of the titles from Project Gutenberg and proof reads, reformats and adds decent covers. I'll wager they're better than the Amazon editions.

    Thanks OP!

    Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn probably started my life long love of reading. They're the childhood version of On the Road

    • +1

      probably started my life long love of reading.

      Mine started with Dick and Jane books…

      • +4

        My family started with Dick and Jane

        • +1

          Do you mean fun with Dick and Jane (2005)?

          Its classified as a comedy, you are a joke. :)

    • +2

      The part where Tom comes across those cannibals was a bit dark

      Wait, different Road

    Thanks. I'm sure one day I'll read these free books amongst the other random jokes, job guides and classics.

    i had 4 of the 5 books already. let me add the 5th one that i probably won't read, lol. #free

    • +1

      Did you also have Journey to the Center of the Earth that was just added

      • +1

        BAM!!!!! got it. thank you.

        • I added about 60 more books since if you want to check them out, there seems to be some kind of arbitrary limit on claiming them.

            @Jimbuscus: awesome, it like a literal click frenzy sale.

          • +1

            @Jimbuscus: approximately 37.2398472394% of them was free to read, and cost some money to buy it now. all good though, i will take it.

            ty jimbuscus, u are a legend.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, I think all the "Amazon Classic" titles are free. Just downloaded a few titles (The Arabian Nights, The Lost World, Treasure Island) on my Kindle app.

  • +1

    Absolute classics. Been hunting for The Arabian Nights for free for ages!!

  • Scottish warlocks & love potions…….bizarre, but again she's a freebie! https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B012HL2SOU/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1…

    Another riveting read no doubt! The power of love will set you free! Speaking of free…. What's that you say? How much? I hear you cry! Well sports fans it will cost you nada!!!
    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0815Y8DDL/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2…

  • Oooh another little free gem. Amazon Kindle just keeps on giving….It must be Christmas again.. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01MS3IWNM/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4…

  • Judith Keim at it again. Giving away her life's work for free, such a darling
    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07MMZ23G9/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1…

  • You guessed it! Judith Keim is back and she didn't arrive empty handed. More glorious free reads to enjoy on the thunder box!

    Thanks OP 👍😁

    Thanks OP! Some books are no longer free like the Hunchback of Notre-dame.

    • -1

      I think it goes down shortly and then comes back up, possibly a bot protection.

      • +1

        No, it's only for Prime subscribers. Otherwise, it's like $3.

        I actually have huge issues with Amazon doing this. Almost all the books are IP-free (as in entered public domain). They really shouldn't be forcing users onto their platform, or locking them out after 10 copies etc. They're free, publically available books that Amazon has 'taken' for their website surrounding them in ads and software to access.

        As Kogi said - https://www.gutenberg.org/

        • The screenshot I put up top is while logged out, when it runs out it's only with Prime Reading, but it's claimable free without Prime until it runs out.

  • +1

    1984 isn’t free.

    • +3

      I found maybe 10 of them still had prices too. Particularly the George Orwell ones.

    • +1

      1984, and every other book on this list, is free at Project Gutenberg.

  • +3

    Won't let you download more than 10.

  • Quasimodo predicted all this

  • +3

    At least a dozen are no longer free

    • Appears to have limits, one user said only 10 at a time.

      • +2

        I purchased each individually

    • yup, I came across quite a few that are not free either. I had most of the others already.

  • +1

    If you like free ebooks, check out /r/FreeEBOOKS.

  • +1

    When I click the links it doesn't give a price, but says "Kindle titles are available for US customers on Amazon.com."

    When i go to the US Amazon the prices show as $2.99. No idea what's the go.

    Thanks! Just got about 40 of them with audiobooks

  • +1

    Thanks OP!! There were quite a few that I had in my collection- added a few more that I have read in my childhood, and probably never going to read again.
    Edit: It is like owning a big virtual library.

    Looking forward to reading the new "David Copperfield" written by David Copperfield.

    Thanks for the links. Great post btw.

      I'm surprised that's the only mistake I made, had mild insomnia.

    Thanks 👍

    Thank you to the OP and the other contributors. Some many great stories here that stand the test of time - just as enjoyable today to read. Plus many of the associated Audible audio books were greatly discounted. Grabbed several at $1.99 and one at $1.20.

  • +1

    Damn, too late to the party, some of them I really like not free anymore.

  • Cheers!

  • thanks a lot OP! :) also seems that all of these are free to read if you have a prime membership but you can only "borrow" 10 at a time.
