Kindle or Nook: Why are there more free ebooks for Kindle than for Nook?
At Freebooksy, we want to provide free ebooks for you – no matter what e-reader you have. The unfortunate truth, however, is this: there are a lot more free Kindle books than free Nook books. Here’s why.
Amazon has a program called KDP Select, which allows authors to make their books free for a limited time as a marketing tool to reach more readers. And it works. One caviat of KDP Select? Amazon forbids authors from making their books free anywhere else during those free days. That’s why most of the books we feature are ONLY available on Kindle.
So why do authors choose Amazon in the first place? Amazon holds approximately 67% of the market share of eBooks, while Barnes and Noble holds approximately 25% of the market (source). Authors want to be where the readers are, and most readers are on Amazon. So, authors flock to publish on Kindle.
Amazon’s restrictive terms coupled with Barnes and Noble’s significantly smaller reader base leads to where we are now- far more free Kindle books than free Nook books (and free Kobo books, etc).
We do post free Nook books when we hear about great ones- and that’s about once per week. If you don’t want to sort through all the free Kindle books on our website or Facebook page, sign up for our emails to recieve ONLY books specifically for your e-reader in your inbox.
City of the Falling Sky: Free Kindle eBook

It all comes rushing back to him when an anonymous email offers Seckry a fantastic reward to steal some worms from Endrin. Eager to take revenge on the greedy company, Seckry agrees.
But when Seckry breaks into Endrin, he discovers something for more sinister than a bunch of worms.
