I am currently promoting my upcoming book, Tumult in Mecca.
One of my campaigns offers the Kindle version of the book for free for a limited period (five days).
I regularly get this response: “I don’t have a Kindle.”
While the Kindle can be a dedicated book-reading device from Amazon, it is also available as an app for all operating systems.
Buying books for the Kindle app.
You cannot buy books from within the Kindle app. Not even those that cost nothing.
To take advantage of my offer, you need an account with Amazon and get it through your browser.
How to do that is explained here: How to buy Kindle books.
The procedure is the same for all Kindle books, whether they are free or not.
Why do I restrict my free offer to the Kindle version?
Thousands of people respond to my offer of a free Kindle version. To deliver on my promise, all I have to do is send them the link to the book’s Amazon page. Amazon takes care of the rest.
A number of the readers will rate the book and leave a short review, which is helpful for new potential readers. Books with ratings and reviews sell better than books without. That’s why giving away a Kindle version has value for the reader as well as the author.
