Stuff your e-Reader Closed-Door Edition

Are you a passionate reader? For ONE DAY ONLY, you can fill your Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Apple Books, or Google Play e-Reader with hundreds of FREE READS, including a selection of enticing closed-door books from various genres! Prepare to fill your e-Reader and get lost in various worlds for ONE DAY only!

This list is for books that should be free to “buy,” but we highly advise all readers to please double check the price before blindly one-clicking.

If you are new to reading in the Kindle app, check out our blog post on Substack to understand the difference between borrowing a book inside Kindle Unlimited subscription and buying the ebook outright.

If you prefer to read ebooks on another platform, some of the authors have provided universal links that will give you options. Please be aware that not all authors in the event are “widely distributed” to other platforms.

If you are looking for a specific trope, you can use Control +F (or Command + F on a Mac) to search for words you like! Otherwise, click on a category below, and start filling up your eReaders!

THIS IS YOUR SECOND REMINDER TO PLEASE DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK ALL PRICES BEFORE YOU ONE-CLICK!

Our participating authors are advised to price match or submit their books into Amazon’s free deals. These free deals will sometimes revert back to their “regular price” after their scheduled periods are completed. If you come across a book you want but it is not currently free, we highly suggest that you put it on your wishlist. Amazon will notify you when the price price drops again.

DISCLAIMER: All authors are advised and reminded to monitor their price matching to comply with our event rules. But we are all only human. Our small team of authors may miss something, as it is impossible for us to monitor free status in all territories. We apologize in advance for any broken links you may encounter.
