If you’re a fan of indie authors, binge-worthy eBook series, or building a digital library for free, then you need to know about Stuff Your Kindle Day. These limited-time digital book events have become a must for readers across every genre.
The Summer and Fall 2025 lineup is full of standout dates and themes, including romance, cozy mysteries, witchy fantasy, and upcoming fall horror. Whether you’ve been following this trend for years or you’re just discovering it now, here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming up.
What Is Stuff Your Kindle Day?
Stuff Your Kindle Day is a recurring event where independent authors and small publishers offer eBooks for free for a limited time. These promotions are typically hosted on Amazon, but some also include links to Kobo, Apple Books, and BookFunnel.
You do not need a Kindle device to participate. A free Kindle app or e-reader app is all you need to download and read these titles on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Unlike Kindle Unlimited, these are permanent downloads, not borrows. Once you add the book to your library, it’s yours to keep.
