eBook Shopping - How To Buy eBooks Online

Let's first take a look at how to buy eBooks from the Kindle Store.  In many ways it works in much the same way as the normal bookstore at Amazon. You are able to search for specific book titles or authors, you can browse the bestseller lists in different categories.

Buying eBooks really could not be simple. Once you have found the eBook you want you buy the title using Amazon's "1-click" service. If you have not used it before, then Amazon guides you through the process. 

Once it is all set up then your future purchases will be able to be made a lot more easily.

Once you are set up you simply select the device (your Kindle or Kindle Apps on other devices) that you want to send the eBook to and Amazon will deliver itwithin 60 seconds!

That is of course assuming you have your Kindle switched on of course!

If you are shopping on your computer and don't have access to WiFi or the 3G network then your Kindle will not be able to receive the book immediately.

You can either wait for it to delivered when you are back in range or alternatively you can select the option to have it delivered to your computer.

You can then transfer your new eBook to your Kindle using the USB lead that is supplied with the Kindle when you are ready to.

You might think that with eBooks being digital that means that you can't return them! That is not the case. Obviously Amazon will be monitoring if people are taking advantage of their policy to get free eBooks to read but the Amazon Kindle store has a 7 day returns policy.

If you contact Amazon's Customer Service within 7 days of your purchase, they will issue a refund and you will no longer have access to that eBook on your Kindle.

With the Kindle's ability to support a wide range of format there are a number of different ways of legally getting eBooks for free to read on your Kindle!

The obvious place to start is at the Kindle Store, which has a whole section of free eBooks that you can choose from.  For me this has been one of the easiest ways to get eBooks for free.

You will also find a number of other  websites, such as Project Gutenberg, which list free eBooks that you can download legally. What you do is download them to your computer and then using your USB Lead copy them over to the Kindle.
