On Amazon’s home page, CEO Jeff Bezos has a message of hope, of free books. Amazon Kindle owners now have access to thousands of books – including New York Times<\/em> Bestsellers past and present.  As of right now, you’re limited to one book a month, but you can ‘keep’ that book as long as you like. This is clearly aimed at the casual reading crowd, but – as Bezos points out – Kindle is the only e-reader to offer this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is on top of the recent announcement<\/a> that Kindle is partnering with 11000 libraries around the country to loan free ebooks. Of course, you have to be an Amazon Prime member, but if you’re getting 12 NYT<\/em> Bestsellers a year, you’ve almost completely recovered the cost of Prime in book savings alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you’re in the market for some free – new –  books (and more free books from your library), snag a Kindle (or the Kindle App <\/del>Sorry, it’s limited to physical Kindle devices only) and get a Prime membership, because it’s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
