You can get thousands of free eBooks throughout 2025 if you know where…And When– look. Amazon is offering free Kindle eBooks to readers all year long, with new options added every month. In December, Prime members can get two free Kindle e-books from Amazon's First Read program, one of which is this month's bonus short read.
What are Amazon's First Reads?
Amazon First Reads is a program designed for Prime members that offers early access to new e-books in many genres, curated by First Reads editors (one of many Prime Member Benefits). Prime members can download one free ebook each month from a rotating list—though some months bump that number up to two, usually with a free short novel—and non-members get them at a reduced price. These e-books can be read on any compatible Kindle device or through the free Kindle app.
How to Get Free Amazon Kindle E-Books in December
Go to First Reading Landing Page to see the full list of eBooks available this month. Once you find a book you find interesting, click the Buy Now button on the First Read landing page. Make sure you're not redirected to the Kindle or Amazon mobile app because you won't see a free book option there; use an internet browser on your phone or computer instead.
Make sure you do not click the “Pre-order for…” button as this will require you to pay; instead, click the “Read Free” button or the “One-Click Buy Now” button under the “First Read” banner on the book's Amazon page (don't worry, you won't be charged). The eBook will be sent directly to the Kindle linked to your Amazon account.
