Amazon often offers free books to download. Today's is "Beekeeping Starter Guide 101".  There was a different one a few weeks ago and I didn't think to post it here :(. I'm not sure how much longer it will be free, but if you search Amazon.com for that title in books it'll come right up.  100% free!

Thanks for the info. The books are free but you have to buy a Kindle. Bummer.

Is it for only those who have a kindle, or is there some way to download it to your computer? I could only find it for a kindle.

Actually, if you have the kindle app on your phone or any tablet, you should be able to get the book and read it just fine. As long as you activate your device with amazon, it will work. Not only that, but you can also download it to the "cloud" reader. I went and got it. Thanks for the good news about it!

I guess I'll pass. I only have an old flip phone and adobe reader.

Prime membership, you can download one free book every month. For 10 dollars extra you can down load unlimited amount of books. There’s about 200 free beekeeping books you can read for free plus many others on kindle. Kindles are cheap. You can buy one for 65 dollars or get the better one for 120 dollars. If you have an ipad you can download books from amazon also.
