  I think I've downloaded a few when Riffle sends me an email, but I don't know that I've actually read any of them.   Downloading Kindle books from the library is ridiculously simple and what I use it for the most., I try to get books I want when they're on the daily deal, or if a book I plan to buy is much cheaper on Kindle than for the HB or PB, which isn't really the case much anymore.
  
  I leave my WIFI off unless I'm trying to download something and the battery lasts weeks that way.  I'm not sure that there really are any good tricks!

  Yup, the best tip is to turn wifi off unless you are actively using it. Other than that, It's pretty straight forward.

  I get an email daily from Bookbub that usually gives deals and you can set preferences. Other than that I just check out Goodreads and they usually have a buy from and give the Amazon price. 

  
  

  I have gotten free ones from Amazon, but those are really just my in between books because they are not usually books I want to read, but just ones that look decent by the description.

  I just started a thread about free books the other day - something about borrowing availability or something.  There were some helpful tips in that thread.  I've only had my Kindle for a few weeks.

  @Kate&Mark - If you have Prime and order other stuff on Amazon, you can have the option of "no-rush shipping'  If you don't need your stuff in 2 days,you can choose this option and get a $1 credit towards ebooks.  I used this sometimes if I'm not in a rush for stuff.
