This is the most basic way to get Kindle eBooks—you just buy the ones you want from the full catalog at whatever the current price is. Since most books nowadays have a Kindle version, you can just search for a specific title or browse the various book categories to find ones you want. If you’re specifically looking for books on sale, check out the Kindle Deals page, which includes daily and monthly specials. You can read these books on any device, including Kindle e-readers, Amazon Fire tablets, and virtually any computer or mobile device using the free Kindle reading app.

Rent Kindle Textbooks
I remember how expensive textbooks were when I was in college oh so long ago… I can only imagine how much they cost nowadays!
Some Kindle textbooks are available to rent at a lower cost than buying them. I can’t find any way to search for titles that have this option. As far as I can tell, you’ll only know if it’s available when you search for a specific book. I found this architecture textbook, Urban Design Reader, if you want to see what the option looks like.

Borrow from a Friend
I’m not a big reader these days but as a kid I was addicted to mysteries. Not having an unlimited budget, unfortunately, I relied on sharing books with my friends to make sure I always had something new to read.
You can lend and borrow Kindle books for up to 14 days, but an individual title can only be loaned one time. You can read borrowed books on any device.
