This free e-book event lets users browse and download books that authors and publishers have temporarily discounted to $0.00. The theme of this event is the Cozy Mystery Free Ebook Blast, and it’s hosted by the Cozy Mystery Book Club.
How to find free e-book deals today
While these events are typically called “Stuff Your Kindle Day,” you don’t need a Kindle to get free books. You can download free books for multiple platforms and devices below, and you can also use the Kindle app on your phone to read them. You can browse the list of free e-books on the event’s main page, which includes titles from the Kindle Store and other popular retailers, such as Apple Books, Barnes & Noble,, and Kobo.
This particular Stuff Your Kindle Day is focused on the cozy mystery genre, and the host has organized participating e-books into contemporary, historical, and paranormal cozy mysteries for easier navigation. Some popular titles include Checked Out by Elizabeth Spann Craig, A Body at the Irish Book Club by Lucy Connelly, and Southern Spirits by Angie Fox.
Also: Your Kindle’s not obsolete, it just needs a jailbreak – and I’ll show you how it’s done
I’m a huge fan of reading fiction on my Kindle Paperwhite. As an avid reader, I love Kindle days because free e-books don’t have to be of terrible quality. Authors run free e-book promotions to get their work out to more readers, so it’s a great chance to grab one of the books you’ve been eyeing.
Cozy mystery books feature stories that focus more on the puzzle-solving aspect of the genre, often adorned with whimsy and charm. Unlike the crime and thriller genres, cozy mysteries typically feature an amateur sleuth as the main character, are low on violence, and take place in a close-knit setting with a light tone.
Upgrade your Kindle setup
Today is all about free books, but you can really get into the cozy mystery mindset by upgrading your setup for your Kindle. Some of my favorite Kindle accessories for snuggling up with a book include a page turner, a Kindle stand, and my wireless charger for the Signature Edition Kindle.
This is a perfect opportunity to stock up on books ahead of the summer season, especially since you can grab as many books as you want during the event.
