Before I start, enjoy these free Sci Fi and Fantasy books.


A lot of my non-US readers do not get the chance to get free and discounted books for their kindles because Amazon makes it complicated for authors to change the pricing on their books. With Google Play, I click a few buttons, and the book is free all over the world for the time frame I specify. For Amazon, I must gather lots of data on each international marketplace, contact customer service, sometimes several times, and even then, the change doesn’t always go through.


Rather than fret about my sales and freebies not getting to international readers, I’ve made a step-by-step guide to get kindle versions of my books and other authors who disable DRM on their books via the Google Play store. If I say something is free or on sale, and Amazon doesn’t have the price I quoted, Google Play will, and here’s the guide to get that book on your kindle.

First off, you’ll need a book. Here’s Time Burrito which is permafree.


Access the book via your web browser on your Google Play Library:

https://play.google.com/books


Then click on those three dots under the book:

Then choose export:

Then export as EPUB:

Then once it is saved to your device (this step will vary depending on your device), you’ll need to get your kindle email address from Amazon. Please note that your kindle email is not the same as your Amazon email.


From the Amazon home page, click on the Account drop down menu and then Devices.


You’ll get a page that looks like the screenshot below. Click on kindle:

Click on your Kindle:

Your kindle email address will be located in the system information:

Once you have the email address for your kindle, email the EPUB of the book as a file attachment (this step will vary depending on your device).


Here’s Atmospheric Pressure to get some more practice.
