Where to Find the Best Free Reads During January’s Stuff Your Kindle Events

Stuff Your Kindle Days are one- to three-day events where indie authors make their books completely free for a limited time, allowing readers to download and “stuff” their e-readers with new reads at zero or minimal cost. It’s an easy, guilt-free way to kick-start your 2026 reading list while discovering emerging authors you might never have found otherwise.

January’s lineup is particularly tempting, with themed Stuff Your Kindle events catering to almost every reading mood imaginable. From January 14–16, the Star-Crossed event highlights romantasy and poetry for readers craving yearning, fate, and emotional intensity. Sports fiction takes centre stage from January 21–24, delivering rivals-to-lovers arcs, slow burns, and high-stakes competition. Later in the month, Frost and Flame runs from January 23–25, featuring science fiction, horror, and genre-blending stories, before Romance Stuff Your Kindle Day closes out the month on January 27 with an abundance of love stories in every form.

Below, we’ve rounded up the best places to find free reads during January’s Stuff Your e-reader events, making it easier than ever to fill your ereaders and discover your next indie author obsession.
