If you have a Samsung mobile device (smartphone, tablet), and you are willing to install the Samsung app store (the current name du jour is Galaxy Apps), and install the Samsung version of the Kindle app, then every month you can get a free e-book from a choice of four options. You login to the Kindle app with your regular Amazon account after you install it. The free choices are shown in the menu, under “Samsung Book Deals”. You can get your freebie at any time during each month, just don’t wait until 11:59pm on the last day of the month 🙂
The four choices for July 2015 are:
- “The Shuddering” by Ania Ahlborn (373 reviews)
- “The Laws of Gravity” by Liz Rosenberg (307 reviews)
- “Flee” by JA Konrath and Ann Voss Patterson (226 reviews)
- “Sleeping with Paris (Book #1) in Romance (258 reviews)
All four of these are in Kindle Unlimited, so if you find more than one of the above interesting, you can scoop them up via KU ($10/month Netflix-style subscription).
A trio of tips on how to make the most of this after the break…
Tips on the Samsung Kindle app
TIP #1: if you just installed the Samsung Kindle app, make sure it syncs up before you attempt to get them. The “Buy Now Price” must say $0.00. If it does not, it will charge you whatever price is shown there. You can always go to amazon.com/myk and cancel the order, but why have extra hassle.
TIP #2: The Samsung Kindle app actually has support for the S-Pen. You can highlight text with the S-Pen or quickly change pages by hovering over the page-turning arrow on the left and right sides of the screen.
TIP #3: you can run the Google Play and Galaxy versions of the Kindle app at the same time, even logged on with the same Amazon account. You can send them different books. You can organize this by topic or function for example. Eg, work/career related books go to one app, and hobby/entertainmentboosk go to the other app.
