Try https://www.bookbub.com/ebook-deals for free (my favourite price) 
and reduced price e-books. You needs must register with a valid e-mail
and you will get a daily list of free and/or low cost items in the interst
categories you have noted when you registered. Available for all e-book
platforms and/or E-reader apps. (I use Calibre - probably the best of 
the e-readers for the desk/lap top confuser.)

Calibre is especially nice if I snag a freebie recipe book as I can cut
and paste to an editor to help me put recipes that I want to keep in my
MEal Muncher database. That's hard/impossible to do from a Kindle or Nook.

      Title: Easy Italian Dressing
 Categories: Sauces, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Red wine vinegar
    1/2 c  Olive oil
      2 tb Water
      2 cl (small) garlic; minced
           +=OR=+
      1 cl (large) garlic; minced
      1 ts Mixed Italian herbs
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Instant minced onion
    1/4 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
 
  Peel and mince the garlic finely. Place in a small bowl
  or shaker jar along with the herbs, salt, and red pepper
  flakes. Add in the red wine vinegar, olive oil, and
  water, whisking or shaking to combine very well. Store
  covered, in the refrigerator.
  
  Allowing this dressing to mellow overnight will make it
  taste even better, as the flavors will have time to
  blend. Whisk or shake it again before using, and don't
  be alarmed if the olive oil has formed a solid upper
  layer when you remove it from the fridge; olive oil
  solidifies when chilled.
  
  You'll use this entire recipe for marinating the beef
  and vegetables in Italian Beef and Veggie Kebabs. There
  should be plenty for a single or double serving; for
  more than that, double your dressing recipe.
