Welcome
Dear eReader
If you had told me five or even three years ago that I would be reading all my books on an eReader, I would have probably laughed at you. I grew up with my nose buried in the books, spending time curled up with favorite reads that had worn spines and raggedy pages from so much use. I would often go to the library after school and stay for countless hours. I remember one school year I read the entire young adult section, devouring all the Fear Street books by R. L. Stine in just over a month. I have never been able to get enough reading. There is just something about the smell of a book when you are reading that just brings back all those fond memories of traveling into worlds unknown and meeting characters that seemed to jump off the pages.
A few years ago, my fiancé surprised me with a Kindle. I had recently been reading less and less as my medical conditions worsened, which was causing me trouble to hold books open for long periods of time. Where I might of read for 6 or 10 hours straight in a sitting, I was lucky to do an hour or two of solid reading before my hands would spasm causing me to drop the book, losing my place. It was quite discouraging.
The Kindle brought back my joy of reading. Not only can I hold it with one hand and not have to physically turn pages, but it was more lightweight than most of the hefty novels I have a tendency to read. I could turn pages at the touch of a button which increased my reading speech almost twofold due to problem with my hands. Now I can honestly say that I don’t know what to do when you hand me a book. A relative gave me a few paperbacks last Christmas and I have yet to open them up.
In early 2010 I started to realize what a fortune I was spending in my eReads. It was quite a hit on the pocketbook for someone that would later that year become disabled. So I did want any thrifty person would do, started the quest to find cheap or free reads to fill in between my splurge purchases. By accident I came across the limited time offers on Amazon.com for kindle reads and became instantly hooked. It’s an obsession.. okay an addiction, but not one I will be giving up anytime soon. I shortly after started the Free Books for Kindle page on Facebook.com to share with my friends the free reads I came across so they wouldn’t have to do same work. Well you can see how that turned out.
I’m thrilled and excited to be bringing this new website into creation as it helps me do what I love to do, bring free eBook reads to more people. I hope the following pages and tutorials to come will help you with your eBook and eReader needs. I plan on expanding to cover all the eReaders and all the resources or places that I find free reads so you can too!
Happy Reading!
