Can you get the kindle version of a book for free or cheap if you already bought a physical version from amazon?

Unfortunately, you can't, but, fortunately, the Kindle-version books themselves cost much less than a real book. You can download free books (mostly classics) from gutenberg.org though. There are also tons of other places you can download books on the Internet|internet.

Wikipedia has a list of many of them.

No, however there are several sites that offer free EBook|e-books. Mostly classics that are no longer under a copyright agreement. Manybooks.Net & gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page are great sites for the classics.

Baen has free e-books if you like modern sci-fiction/fantasy baen.com/library/home.htm.

No, but I would be 10x more likely to get one if they would. Even if it was just at a discount.

Unfortunately no, but this would be something that Amazon should do. It would even be nice if they offered you to trade in your book, and they'd give you a discount on it for the Kindle version. This would be a great incentive for people to go digital.

No. They're not interchangeable. I know it's not exactly relevant, but if a book is public domain, you can find some nice free Kindle versions of it on the Amazon Kindle Store|Kindle Store, Gutenberg, and Free Kindle Books.

No, though it would be nice if you could. Though I am not a lawyer, I understand the "space-shifting" principles of fair use as established in RIAA vs. Diamond Multimedia to mean that making a copy of media that you own for the purposes of using it in a different device (for example, ripping CDs to MP3 and copying them to an MP3 player) is entirely legal. So if you were to, say, scan or type in a book you owned and upload that to your Kindle, you would be within your rights to do so.(If you were to go out and download an illicit e-copy of said book, you could argue that since you owned the print version you had moral justification to snag the e-version since scanning and typing it in yourself would produce the same end result.

I don't think the courts would necessarily see it that way, though. ) Some EBook|e-book publishers, such as the aforementioned Baen, are cognizant of this principle, and once you buy one of their e-books you can download it in as many different formats as you like.(But even they don't give you the e-book free with a purchase of the print book—except for certain select titles which come with CD-ROMs bound into the first-printing hardcover that contain that e-book and dozens more besides. ) The technical book publisher O'Reilly also recognizes these principles.

Though I don't think they give you the e-book free, they do offer a discount bundle that includes both the print and the e-books together. But most publishers consider even each individual e-book format to be a separate "edition". This is why, if you buy an e-book from Fictionwise that is encrypted, you only get one single encrypted format."We don't give you the paperback version free for buying the hardcover," their thinking goes, "so why should we give you the Mobipocket version if you buy the eReader version?

" Needless to say, this logic would also apply to giving you the Kindle version free if you bought a printed version. Publishers wouldn't go for it. Though if Amazon becomes a dominant player in the e-book world, perhaps they'll be able to twist publishers' arms to get some concessions.

I doubt that one would be high on the list, though.

No - looks like the upgrade service doesn't allow upgrade to the Kindle yet.

No that wouldn't be a good business model now would it. But fear not, you still have hope in downloading the free EBook|e-books. You can start with e-hows guide.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
