That's basically the idea behind Stuff Your Kindle Day, an author-organized event that brings tons of romance e-books to a total cost of $0. And, yes, the books are yours to keep. Understandably, this event has been drumming up excitement on TikTok, so here's what you need to know if you're planning on picking up a few (or more) free books when the day rolls around.

When is Stuff Your Kindle Day?

Stuff Your Kindle Day happens four times a year, with the final Stuff Your Kindle Day of 2023 kicking off on Dec. 27. The event was held previously on March 31, June 30, and Sept. 20.

Who can participate in Stuff Your Kindle Day?

Anyone! You don't even need to own a Kindle to grab these titles — Kobo and Nook readers can snag them for free too. You'll also find the titles available available on the Google Play and Apple Books apps.

Even if you don't have an e-reader, you can also download these books on your preferred app and read them straight from your phone. The creator of the day, romance author Zoe York, said it best when she tweeted that the day is "really Stuff Your E-Reader Day."

What e-books will be free?

Amazon has created a Stuff Your Kindle Day landing page to make it easier to find titles to read. Head to Amazon to check out some of the highlighted titles, with books broken out by genre. However, since this is an author-led event, there are other ways to discover your next read.

Our recommendation is to check out the official list of SYKD books on the blog Romance Bookworms. There, you'll be able to see the titles sorted by retailer and sub-genres of romance, including tropes like enemies and lovers.

How is it different than Amazon Kindle Unlimited?

Amazon Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service where you pay $11.99 per month to borrow up to 20 books per month. If you stop your subscription, you will no longer be able to borrow the books.

The books offered through Stuff Your Kindle Day are yours to keep, and there is no cap on how many books you can pick up during the day.

If you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can still participate in Stuff Your Kindle Day since this isn't an official Amazon event. None of the SYKD titles will take one of your 20 Unlimited spots.
