FREE BOOKS: The latest Stuff Your Kindle Day takes place on March 7-10. The Indie Author Spring Spectacular is offering books by indie authors in a variety of genres.

We absolutely love Stuff Your Kindle Day, but if we had one complaint, it would be that these events don't last long enough. We try to make some noise about when these events go live, but there's always a risk that bookworms will get the news too late. And there really isn't anything worse than missing out on a free book giveaway.

Fortunately, the latest Stuff Your Kindle Day doesn't come with the usual 24-hour window of opportunity. Instead, you've got a few days to stock up on hundreds of books for free (or at heavily discounted rates). And the books that you download are yours to keep forever. The latest Stuff Your Kindle Day is focused on indie titles. The Indie Author Spring Spectacular, hosted by Hayley Anderton, is offering books by indie authors in a variety of genres.

Want to make the most of this latest event? We've lined up everything you need to know about this exciting promotion.

When is Stuff Your Kindle Day?

The Stuff Your Kindle Day schedule has got out of hand in 2025. In February, Stuff Your Kindle Day took place on Feb. 10, Feb. 14, and Feb. 21, and Feb. 28. And March is not showing any signs of slowing down. The month kicked off with a romance book event on March 4, and now it's all about indie titles.

On March 7-10, the Indie Author Spring Spectacular is offering hundreds of books by indie authors in a wide variety of genres, covering everything from rom-com to thrillers. A lot of these books are available to download for absolutely nothing. And if not listed for free, you can find heavily discounted rates.

Who can take part in Stuff Your Kindle Day?

Another great thing about Stuff Your Kindle Day is that anyone can participate, even if you don't own a Kindle.

Kindle, Kobo, and Nook readers can download these books for free. You can even download these books on your preferred app and read them straight from your phone, as you can also find these free titles on the Google Play and Apple Books apps.

Which e-books are free?

Sourcing all of these free (or discounted) books is made easy thanks to the Indie Author Spring Spectacular. There's a helpful hub page where you can filter by genre and search for particular tags, so you can find exactly what you're looking for. Some of the listed genres include Dark Fantasy, Dystopian, Horror, Gothic, Sci-Fi, and Spicy Romance.

To get you started, we've lined up a selection of standout options from a couple of popular categories:

• Indie Horror

• Indie Sci-Fi

Take your time and check out everything on offer. There should be something for everyone.

Is Stuff Your Kindle Day the same as Amazon Kindle Unlimited?

Everything you download on Stuff Your Kindle Day is yours to keep, and there's no limit on the number of books you can download. Stuff Your Kindle Day downloads don't count towards the 20 books per month that Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscribers can borrow, so don't hold back.

TL;DR: Mashable readers can save $219 on a Rosetta Stone lifetime subscription while codes last, but fewer than 100 codes are available at this price.

In three months, I’ll be in Japan, and I’d really like to avoid the whole ‘stereotypical tourist’ vibe. I’ve always heard that Rosetta Stone is one of the best language-learning apps, but I’m not sure if it can actually help me learn some Japanese in time for my trip. There’s only one way to find out — I’m putting it to the test.

Mashable has a deal right now where you can get lifetime access for only $179.99 (reg. $399). Not only is this cheaper than buying it through Rosetta Stone’s website, but it’s a far better value than paying month-to-month when I plan on learning other languages for future trips.

Learning Japanese with Rosetta Stone

I just opened Rosetta Stone for the first time, and it’s already throwing me straight into Japanese lessons — no word lists, no grammar drills, just matching pictures with new words and their pronunciation. It feels like how kids naturally pick up language, which is way less intimidating than I imagined. 

I always thought learning Japanese would be overwhelming (especially with the character system), but within minutes, I’m already trying to pronounce words and simple phrases out loud. The speech-recognition tool listens and gives instant feedback, which is super helpful, considering I don’t want to embarrass myself during my trip.

A few weeks in

Right now, I’m working through greetings and everyday phrases — stuff I’ll actually use when I land in Tokyo. If I keep this up, maybe I won’t have to rely on Google Translate the whole trip.

I’m also excited to try learning some of the other 24 languages included in Rosetta Stone. I plan to travel the world in my lifetime, so knowing I have access to Spanish, French, German, and more language lessons at my fingertips is perfect.

Learn languages for travel with Rosetta Stone, now $179.99 for lifetime access (reg. $399).

TL;DR: While supplies last, you can get this lightweight 20,000mAh power bank for $67.99 with free shipping (reg. $69.99) — fewer than 50 are available.

Is that a power bank in your bag, or a brick? You try to pack light when heading out for the day or a week-long trip, but that high-capacity power bank really weighs things down. The problem is it wasn’t built for travel like this one that fits in the palm of your hand.

The INIU Leopard power bank packs in 20,000mAh capacity, yet it’s only four inches long and weighs the same as a box of Kraft mac and cheese. It easily fits into pockets for everyday use or travel bags — and it’s TSA-compliant. Order yours here for $67.99 with free shipping before inventory runs out (reg. $69.99).

Other features

Before you ditch your bulky dinosaur of a power bank, you probably want to know what else makes this one so unique. Here’s what else we love about it:

• Charge three devices at once with one USB-A and two USB-C ports

• The power bank supports 65W fast charging, even for laptops 

• When the device needs to be recharged, it only takes two hours

Your purchase also includes a USB-C cable so you can power your devices right out of the box. For added peace of mind, you also get a three-year warranty from the brand.

Get one of these travel-friendly power banks for $67.99 with free shipping ASAP (reg. $69.99) — we have fewer than 50 available at this price.
