Amazon Kindle App for Android

martinturner · 6 Jul 2010 at 13:18

Anyone using the Amazon Kindle App for android? I pulled it down to my HTC Desire, but not sure where to get free books for it. It links directly into Amazon to buy books but the application suggests you can download loads for free. Any resources for this? Is there a specific file extension for Kindle books? Not sure how to search for them without going through dodgy internet websites.

Thanks

Just had a quick look at this app, looks alright.

You can browse all the books on the website; if you search by price: low to high it'll show all the free ones. Just click on buy and it'll transfer to your device.

Not sure on the quality of the content though, there's an awful lot of guff to trawl through.

EDIT:
Just found The Jungle Book. Looks like there might be some more well-known books for free.

Thank you - did not think to search by price. The free ones may be pap, but thought it worth a look.

You can get samples of lots of books on Amazon's Kindle store, if you just want to try it out.

Btw, if you're on CM 5.0.8-DS Stable then you may need to patch it with a font fix to get this working properly. All the details are on the Cyanogen forum, just search for 'Kindle' or 'Robo defense' (as that was busted by the same issue).
