Whether you are trying to decide on your book group’s next selection or looking for good discussion questions to stimulate your strictly personal reading interest, you may find value in the Reading Group Guides, Free Excerpt Downloads, and other supplements that Amazon provides with many Kindle books.
Guides and excerpts are generally provided as PDF files that can be read directly on some Kindles or converted to flowable Kindle-compatible text if you email the file to your you@kindle.com or you@free.kindle.com email address with “convert” in the subject line of the email. You can also download a free sample from any Kindle book at its Kindle Store product page.
