You should consider that Google Play does not offer books in the Kindle format as Amazon and Project Gutenberg do. Instead of files in AZW and KF8 formats, you should download them as PDF files. To do this, you must navigate to your Google Play Book library from your computer, click on the three squares in the upper right corner of any title and select “Download PDF” from the drop-down list. Then, select the saved file, drag, and drop it in your device.

Other sites to search

Besides Amazon, there are a growing number of online sites that allow you to download books in Spanish, all of which have a large and interesting catalog. You only have to be aware of one thing: you won’t find the latest bestsellers, nor the best-known titles of authors who are still alive. But if you’re a lover of reading beyond fashion, this shouldn’t matter to you.

Project Gutenberg

Perhaps the best-known book download site of all. It has a catalog of over 60,000 books completely free to download. Besides, you will not only find books in Spanish but in many other languages.

Open Library

One of our favorites, since it gathers in one place an infinity of books of classic literature. If you don’t have a Kindle, you can also read it in other formats. All the books are cataloged, and it also has one of the best search engines for titles and authors.

Casa del Libro (House of the Book)

The crisis caused by the coronavirus has made many companies “free” their products for free use, and what La Casa del Libro has done has made us all happy. Just one thing: you can only download the books in ePub format, but in its extensive catalog you will find many interesting things to read.

Open Culture

More than a site, we should catalog Open Culture as a blog that shows you and redirects you to websites that have books to offer, all for free and with more than 800 titles in eBook format.

Infolibro.org

As we know, Kindle can support different file formats. Among several that are available, PDF is one of them. Although this is not an e-book format and the Kindle may have some problems reading them, you can transform them into another format. The Infolibros.org site has more than 3500 books available for download in PDF (for free), which can be useful in case that you don’t find a book in other available stores.

Amazon offers the best deals on Kindle e-book readers ahead of Black Friday
kindles pre black friday amazon deals kindle 2019 review feat 768x479 c

Amazon's Kindles, and e-book readers, in general, allow you to toss heavy hard-bound books back onto their shelves and read anywhere you want. They're virtually hand-held libraries you can carry around in your pocket or bag, capable of storing hundreds of digital tomes and audiobooks. We've rounded out the best Black Friday deals on Kindles for you, from the humble entry-level Kindle to the Rolls-Royce of e-readers, the Kindle Oasis.
Kindle
-- $60 ($30 off)

The original Kindle is the most affordable in Amazon's e-book reader line. With a tiny 6-inch screen, it is pleasant to hold and compact enough to store in your jeans or sweatshirt pocket so you can read anywhere you want. It is super lightweight and seems like a strong gust of wind is enough to carry it away. Thankfully, the bezels surrounding it are thick, so it’s still reasonably sturdy and substantial. Its plastic back is kind of slippery so it's best to purchase a cover with a grippier surface, like fabric or leather.
