Amazon Doing a search on the terms “ public domain books for kindle “, access a collection of over 3000 free books, ready to be downloaded on our reader. Another option is to stop by the site in Spanish Public Domain, which houses a large collection of books of this type and provides links to download them in different formats.
Play Music
although very practical function, is rarely used by Kindle owners. If you connect your device to a computer and copy MP3 files to the folder “music” can hear music in the background with the experimental player including Kindle in the options menu.
Although there are several obvious drawbacks, like the fact that the storage space available to Kindles is little, if we can only listen to MP3 audio files can not choose the play order of music, is still a interesting option that we could use to store an album or two to accompany our readings.
Kindle apps
