Aussie Readers discussion

Hi all, not sure of this has been asked but I have a Kindle Paper White. I am aware that you can not transfer library books from the ‘Libby’ App or ‘Borrow Box’. However does anyone know where to get compatible books from to put on the kindle Paper white other then Amazon books in Australia legally??

Thank you 😊

Hi Kaitlyn, do you mean free books, or paid?

Off the top of my head, I’m thinking that there are lots of free books available through Project Gutenberg. These are generally classics/old books that are out of copyright. Some gems, lots of rubbish. You might need an eBook manager like Calibre to convert the files and transfer to your Kindle.

I also remember reading that Amazon was opening up the Kindle software to accept ePub format, which would provide more options including paid. Haven’t tried it myself, so not sure what’s involved. Might also depend how old your Paperwhite is, and what version of software it’s running.

Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Andrea, thank you so much. I have the latest Paperwhite so will give these a go appreciate your help. I am wanting to try the free ebooks for abit first.
Have been spending some time with google trying to work out how to get EPUB library loans across only to learn can only do it in America 🤦🏼‍♀️ thank you again.

Amazon has loads of free kindle books all the time Kaitlyn - just search for free kindle books and you'll find a lot. Keep an eye out in our Free Kindle thread too as often someone will post there's free books. Other groups have them as well. Good luck!

Thank you both so much.

Hi Brenda Thank you, when you say "just search for free kindle books" do you mean on Amazon? also do you maybe have a site that you might recommend?
Thanks again.

Sorry, yes Kaitlyn. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=free+kindl...

I typed in "free kindle books" then you'll get a drop down list you choose.
