725 Free eBooks by the Open University (OU) Kindle Edition @ Amazon

The OU is such an amazing institution.

I was hoping for a title - how to extend your life in order to read all the free books!
I have downloaded 400 of them.

A brilliant start to OU study. I studied Natural Sciences with the OU when I was within six years of retiring from the police. Instead of the usual driving/security/legal aid work I went into teaching Science and am now well past £250,000 earnings as a result of that degree and still teaching ten years later. Go for it.

Free £1 Amazon video credit for each book you download.

If you download 725 of them, you still only get 1 x £1 credit.

Just be careful you dont accidentally buy the paid books, there are a few mixed in. I almost clicked on one as I was speeding down the page clicking away

You dont get credit for each book, and if you dont see it in your balance, it means you have already used it in the past, you can only get it the once, check Balance

I scraped the links to post here (745 of them), but it would require about 15 posts
I've put them here for now instead.

Simply download the "Kindle for PC" software , here is the link: amazon.co.uk/gp/…960
Once downloaded and setup, when choosing a book there is then an option allowing the book to be sent to the "Kindle for PC software" on your Computer. I hope this helps

Argh! Just realised it's Kindle only - don't have one

They're not Kindle only, they can be downloaded and read, using any eBook reader software, that supports the Epub format.
The two best known free readers are Calibre and FB Reader. The FB Reader app for Android, is in the Play Store. The Calibre ebook software for desktop/laptop is here: calibre-ebook.com

The books can be downloaded direct from the OU (thanks to Captainbeaky for the link):

I concur! My deepest respect to you & all science teachers.

Thanks

Brilliant link! Lots of heat

nice reading matter before bang up

Too many pages to scroll through but I'm doing it ! Thanks OP.

Typing "The Open University" followed by your subject matter in the search bar, then sort by price low to high, is probably an effective way to ensure you're not missing out on anything you might want.

I got about 40% through by browsing.

Clicking buy with one touch to open in a new tab is also the fastest way I found to buy the book and keep browsing the list.

You can get the same books direct from the open university but they are in the ePub format. No account or registration needed.

Actually it is much easier to find the books you need directly on the open university website! On Amazon you need to go through the whole list, on open university website you can filter by subjects. Yes, they are in epub format, but they can be easily converted all in a batch to mobi format (which is recognized by kindle) using free "calibre" software.

To read the ebooks, using the readers I suggested, download them direct from the OU, rather than Amazon. Although the content is the same, Amazon use a different format: open.edu/ope…oks
