This is an updated post on Free Kindle Books for Preppers. Our first post was published in 2016, and we will continue to update as new books are published and to keep this article accurate for price changes (nothing worse than a free book that ain’t free).
Free is always the best price. We have hunted down the best free Kindle books for preppers available. You don’t have to take my word for it- each one has rated four or more stars. Having a digital library available at your fingertips can be great for downtime during the holidays or as a reference during emergencies.
Whether you are looking to add to your resource library or a good read about societal collapse, there are plenty of options to check out below.
