How To Read Kindle Books

Amazon has free magazine subscriptions for Kindle Unlimited members:  Magazine Subscription Deals

Getting a Refund on Kindle Books

If you’re unhappy with a Kindle book, or purchased one by mistake, Amazon says you can get a refund.

The Amazon policy is:

“You may be able to return books and comics that you bought from the Kindle Store for a refund. We will consider your return if we receive your request within seven days of the date of purchase.

To return an eligible Kindle book:

Go to https://www.amazon.com/digitalorders and sign in with the same Amazon account information you used to purchase your content.

From the Digital Orders tab, select the Return for Refund button next to the title you want to return.
In the pop-up window, choose the reason for return, then select Return for Refund.
If you do not see the Return for refund option, it might have already passed seven days from the date of purchase.

Kindle Setup

If you recently bought a Kindle, you’ll need to go through a one-time setup.  To start, all you need is access to a Wifi network.  If you do not have Wifi, you can connect at a free network at your local library and many fast food places such as McDonald’s and Panera.

Then:

  1. Turn on the Kindle by pressing the power button on the bottom
  2. Select your preferred language
  3. Click Get Started
  4. Click Connect to Wifi and connect.
  5. Log into your Amazon account. This is all you need to do to register your Kindle with Amazon. If you do not have an Amazon account, you can create one right on the Kindle.
  6. Next you can connect to Facebook or Twitter, but you can also skip this step.
  7. Next you’ll get offered a free trial to Kindle Unlimited. The free trial is good for 30 days, after which you’ll be billed $9.99 a month.  If you’re unsure, you should click on No Thanks.  (More about Kindle Unlimited later.)
  8. Finally, your Kindle will offer you some suggestions on how to use it.  Now you’re ready to download some books.

Amazon does a good job of explaining all this in a three-minute video from Youtube at: https://youtu.be/0uVD5PNJK44

Add Your First Kindle Book

Now you’re ready to start adding books.  Let’s start by adding one of the thousands of free classics available from Amazon.  How about: A Christmas Carol.

Here’s how to get this free book using your Kindle:

  1. Turn on your Kindle and click on the Home button (upper left on your Kindle)
  2. Click on the search icon (a magnifying glass) and enter: Free Classics
  3. Click on See All
  4. Pick one of the free books, such as A Christmas Carol.  Verify that the price is $0 then click on Buy for Free.  The book will download, probably within a minute.
  5. Then click on Read Now or go to your Home page and you’ll see your newly added book. Click on it to start reading.

Adding More Books to Kindle

Amazon’s main Kindle Book Store is at: Amazon Kindle Store.

The latest bestsellers usually sell for $14.99.  However, Amazon has hundreds of free or 99-cent Kindle books.   If you like classics, you should review the Amazon Classics store, which has works from Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, and hundreds of others.  You can find this at :  Amazon Classics

You don’t have to be on your Kindle to get Kindle books.  In fact, it’s probably easier to browse the Kindle store from your PC or smartphone. If you buy a Kindle Book from a PC or your phone, it will be automatically delivered to your Kindle.

If you’re a voracious reader, you might try Kindle Unlimited, Amazon’s $9.99 / month subscription service.  It gives you access to thousands of Kindle books (not bestsellers though) and many magazines.

Kindle on PC, Phone

Although the Kindle ereader is usually recommended as the best way for ebook reading, you can use your phone or PC instead.  Here’s an introduction to the Kindle app for your iPhone.
