Pardon my ignorance though. Up until now, all eBooks I've read are from Gutenberg.org & similar sites in pdf/html/text format.
However, I do have an Amazon Prime account thru 12/29 (the last Christmas gift from my dear departed Freeper sister). So I can use that to login to a PC or Android that's running this "Kindle App" ... apparently.
Question: But to read any of the Amazon Kindle free books, I must first purchase the $7.99 (or $9.99) / year "Kindle Unlimited" subscription, is that correct?
(PC Amazon site says $7.99, while Android App setup screen says $9.99 ... perhaps because I'm currently logged into the Prime acct on my PC but not Android).
I do now plan to renew the $99 annual Prime acct, because too many other family members are using it!
I download Amazon free books all of the time,as recently as last week,and am NOT a prime member.

I bought a Kindle reader a month or so ago from Amazon for only $49. It was refurbished.
They let me pay a small charge then $12 a month. I still have 436 to go but went ahead and bought “Zerhoun”, The Bible, “It Doesn’t Take A Hero” and “Waking The Moon” simply because I love stories involving ancient Crete, Mycenae etc.
Except for “Zerhoun”, I haven’t paid more than $1.39 for a book. Lots of free ones too.

I don't think that the free Matt Bracken Kindle downloads described in this thread require Kindle Unlimited. It looks like the Kindle Unlimited deal for these books is already available, while the free downloads described in this thread will only be available in the near future for specific books on specific days.
No. Any Amazon customer can download the Kindle apps. Prime Membership gets you "some" free content that is normally purchased.
