I had always thought that you had to had one of the $150 Kindle Readers to download free books from Amazon with a Prime membership.
I found out yesterday that I can do that with just my PC. Now I can get books and magazines for zero cost or very low cost. I have really been missing out. It's tough being a natural blonde. Some of the blonde jokes have merit LOL
Anyhow, there are a lot of Plant-Based Diet books, Kidney Diet books, and even free veggie magazines you can read at no cost. No buying books, or traipsing to the library.
I copied a few links to get you started in case you didn't discover them years ago (like me).
If you put "Plant-Based Kindle Books" in the Amazon search you'll get pages and pages to select from.
I'm over the moon with my new discovery!!
Now, go ahead and tell me all about how you've been using Kindle for years and years for Plant-Based books and make me feel silly ROFL!!!! No one tells me anything!!!

That's great. It's a fantastic resource isn't it? I saw they have audio books as well but I already get those from my State Library for Blind and Handicapped. They gave me a special "book player" and I can either be sent disks or download onto my computer and put on my own stick to use in their machine. They have so many books but are about a year behind in recording them. I love listening to them in bed at night when I can't sleep, and Henry listens too, I swear he does!!! They have a lot of health related books and cook books.
I discovered that last year when I purchased a book in a special format that my kindle couldn't process. I love my Kindle but being to open ebook for Ctrl+F search is absolutely great!
You can also BORROW books from the public library and get the latest additions sent to your cell phone or PC for audio listening. There are a few platforms or apps from which to do this. I am most familiar with OVER DRIVE. I usually download a book to listen to while walking. It often gets me out more so I get back to the book to find out what happened in the next chapter.
I don't have a SmartPhone I don't think my flip phone will do that.
What a shocker that I don't have a "Smart" phone right, I probably need one more than most. I am technically challenged to put it mildly.
I love the library. I thought I wanted to be a librarian as a kid since I loved reading so much. I did learn about their online downloading. I went in person to borrow some books on tape when the State Library closed and I didn't know how to download them. I learned a lot during the past 2 years LOL
It's great you are getting out walking and listening at the same time. I'd need to master walking and chewing gum before I did that. I think I'm safer lying in bed and listening to them at night when my aches and pains keep me awake most of the night.
I am AMAZed and what AMAZon does with Kindle. I have it on my phone and computer, but I am still learning about all the things it does too. I love Prime. One big cost but the convenience of free shipping and all the other benefits of free stuff and other discounts really makes it worth it. And one subscription is for both my husband and me. We also are Alexa fans and she runs the house.
I don't know your financial situation, but Amazon does give 1/2 price discounts for seniors, students, low income, etc.
I only pay $6.99 per month, not the $12.99. And it's great when shipping gifts you don't have to pay for reshipping, just pay $4.99 for a gift bag and it's delivered to any state for you, or skip the gift bag fee.
I don't know how I got along without it. I wish I still lived near a Whole Foods Market and I'd get groceries delivered free too. I wish they'd make that deal with Trader Joes.
If there's a discount to be found, I'll sniff it out!!!!
Have you been missing out on it?
Call Amazon Cust. Serv. I think I had to send a copy of DL for proof of dob.
If you're in the US you can get a discount on your electric and gas bill for certain disabilities, cut your bill 20%, my Dr. signed me up.
I also get free internet and $9.00 telephone.
I'm on SSDI since I was 34 y/o and there are plenty of perks for being lower income. I just run across them by accident usually, or in some newsletter.
Jump on the Prime discount, it's worth it to pay half.
I have a Kindle but didn't know that. I only play games on it. I've tried reading on it but it's hard to hold besides I much prefer the book. The physicality of holding is as much of the process as reading the words. I love the library too... I get all my books there. I shop the catalog and request, they send me an email when I can go pick up. They started curbside pick up at the start of the pandemic and closed the doors. The doors are open now but they still have curbside.
The curbside is nice but I live alone and am sort of a hermit. I like to go in and see the people... that's my "social interaction" and it suits me. I'm at the library at least once a week, maybe more.
Thanks for the Information! I haven't ever, really looked into these, though I have made some 'Specific' Google Searches. For example a Chilli Con Carne or Curry Recipe.
I tend to 'Blunder About' with my Recipes/ Cooking.... often with Lovely 'Results' I might add! If you want my Recipe, for Chicken with Dark Treacle and Rosemary- which I developed to 'use up' some Dark Treacle I had in the cupboard- I can PM you.... or 'Post', n here, if needed just let me know....
