I use Amazon, BookBub, and my local library uses Overdrive.

I've been using Bookbub for about 5 years now and I love it. I have well over 1500 eBooks and I think I've paid for maybe 15 total. I'll probably never read most of the stuff they send, but it's nice to have the option especially since we have a family Amazon account so I can share all my books with my family. They are tailored to your genres and you can rate the ones you read to get better recommendations. I've found 2 of my favorite series from it even!

Amazon is kind of a pain to search for free books when you just want to browse. But it does have a huge selection.

Try going to Amazon, select "Kindle Store," then search "free kindle books," and see what comes up.

Libraries often rent out ebooks to read on your device. Also libgen.io and bookzz.org are sources for free ebooks and textbooks.

I get my books mainly from Amazon, but I use Bookbub to get informed when books are free.

There is also early bird books

I purchase many of my free, and very inexpensive books from Book Bub. I get an email from them daily with selections from many genres. Most of them are $2.99 or less and several free ones are offered daily. And so many of them are best sellers.

Our library offers many free books that you can load onto your Kindle, but most of mine come from Amazon. They offer several free ones.

Sign up for Bookbub. You'll let them know what type of books you like to read and daily they will send you their best deals. There are free ones in there. When you find one you like , click on it and it will show several different sources of where yo can get it. Amazon is on there most of the time besides other resources. It's
a great way to fids out all of the different resources out there that have free subscriptions and free books. Amazon is a great resource also, but others may have the book you want for free or cheaper. Another one is the Fussy Librarian. That's a good one also.

I usually go for Amazon. Goodreads offers free book, too.
