What your Kindle offers you.

Whether you have (or have heard of) an Amazon Kindle or another type of E-reader, you already know that these devices offer you an easy way to get a hold of books, periodicals,and other reading materials. You can even browse the internet on these devices. As they are portable, you can take them wherever you want, and the battery life is longer than what you would expect. If you have the Kindle, then you have no back light and can also read wherever you want, just like with an actual book, but lighter!

But did you know that you can buy an assortment of games for your Kindle? Yes, indeed, you can! From puzzle and word games to number and card games, the Amazon Kindle offers more games every day. The greatest part? Many of these you can download to your Kindle for free!

I have taken the liberty of putting many of the free Kindle games here for you to browse. Each has a small description and a link where you can find it on the Amazon website. Good luck and have fun.

Jumble, 3 Free Puzzles
Unscramble the letters!
Amazon Price: $0.00
Thread Words
Search for words!
Amazon Price: $0.00

Word games for your Kindle.

Word games (not in the least surprising) are most abundant on the Amazon website for the Kindle.

Jumble is a free word game. As you can figure out on your own, it is a game about unscrambling words. It is in fact Amazon's own version of the popular word scramble game.

Thread Words, another free word game offered to you by Amazon, is a word search game. With 10 levels, the number of letters in the rows increases with the levels. There are multiple rows, and you have to find all the words that can be spelled by connecting each.

Number Slide
Put the number tiles in order!
Amazon Price: $0.00
Pixel Perfect Puzzles
Make a picture from the clues!
Amazon Price: $0.00

Number games.

Number Slide is a free number game offered for your Kindle where you play a slide puzzle. The numbers are tiles. One tile is removed, and the rest are out of order. It is your job to slide the tiles and put the numbers back into order. Can you do it?

Pixel Perfect is another free game offered to you on the Amazon website for your Kindle. It is a puzzle game where you have to create a picture in series of black squares by following the numeric clues. It starts out blank, so you haven't any idea what the picture may end up as. Be sure to follow the clues correctly!

Blackjack
The most popular casino game!
Amazon Price: $0.00
Video Poker
Poker, Vegas-style!
Amazon Price: $0.00

Card games.

Blackjack, the number one casino card game, is now available for free on your Kindle. Alongside the common aspects of the game including splits, surrender, and insurance, you can now customize the game to even play 'Dealer must hit 17', which is done in many Vegas casinos.

Video Poker is a Vegas-style game now available for free on the Amazon website for your Kindle. It is like the Vegas poker machine Jacks or Better. Download this game and play like you're in Vegas no matter where you go.

Dots and Boxes
Make the most boxes!
Amazon Price: $0.00
Mine Sweeper
Avoid the bombs!
Amazon Price: $0.00

Misc. free Kindle games.

Dots and Boxes. Remember this game from elementary, middle, and high school? Don't deny that you played it even then! You make a perfect square of dots, whether 4x4 or 5x5, and you connect the dots to make lines. The person who closes the most boxes wins! And now you (or your younger relatives who want a go) can enjoy this on your Kindle for free.

Minesweeper, a game you probably played yesterday on your computer, is now available for free for you to play any- and everywhere you go! Find all of the mines in the "mine field," but don't blow any up! Free the rest of the spaces, and you've got it! You know you've played this a million times. (How many have you won?)

...that thing can actually run games? The more you know.

@tamarindcandy: Haha, yup! =) It sure can. I've played 5 of these myself. They're a perfect renewable game for a long road trip, that's for sure. Especially if you're tired of reading and have finished your puzzle sudoku book.

Great hub, Meisjunk! There really are some fantastic free games on the Kindle, though my current favorites are Codeword ($1) and Triple Town ($4), both of which are well worth the money!

Useful and voted up. Good stuff!
