How Does Stuff Your E-Reader Day Work?
Unlike how it is with the available titles onKindle Unlimited, which you get to read through borrowing, the titles you buy on Stuff Your E-Reader Day for free, you get to keep. Once you click to buy, they land on your e-reader device and are yours to enjoy in perpetuity.
While aKindle Unlimited might be worth it, it does come with some limitations. For one, you’re able to borrow up to 20 titles from the digital library. And, though that number may seem sufficient to some, it’s not for others.
If you read based on mood, a bigger library is better as it gives you more choice. Or maybe you’ve read the titles you’ve borrowed but aren’t ready to part with them yet. And that leaves you with a stacked e-reader that offers you nothing new to read.
Of course, you can alwaysbuy ebooks from various online stores, but that adds up, given that a digital book can cost anywhere between $0.99 and over $15. So stacking your device chock-full of books you bought for free is truly the best option.
It’s also a perfect opportunity to try out new titles that aren’t available ifyou’ve canceled your Kindle Unlimited subscription. That way, you may see if you like them without investing in them—it makes DNF-ing books much easier when you don’t feel like you’ve wasted your money on them.
The beauty of Stuff Your E-Reader Day is that there is no limit to how many books you can buy for free. And don’t worry if you don’t have a Kindle. Despite being commonly known as Stuff Your Kindle Day online, the countless free titles available on Amazon you can also get for non-Kindle devices—Nook, Apple eBooks, Kobo, and Google Play Books.
When Does Stuff Your E-Reader Day Happen?
Stuff Your E-Reader Day occurs four times a year. The dates for 2023 are March 31, June 30, September 20, and December 27. And though sometimes this event only lasts for one day, there are times when it lasts two or three days. For instance, Stuff Your E-Reader Day lasts from September 20 until August 01, 2025.
