This concise eBook shows how Amazon Prime Members can use the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) to find Prime eligible free movies on Amazon. If you are happy with the limited selection of free movies listed in the Editor’s choice and genre collections in Amazon’s video store, you don’t need this eBook. The techniques can be applied to searching for paid movies and TV series as well, but was originally intended for members of Amazon Prime only.
The eBook takes you through using the advanced search features of the IMDb website, which is also owned by Amazon, to locate current free Prime eligible movies that match your taste, and to add the movies your choose to your Watchlist for later viewing on any tablet with the IMDb app. If you watch Amazon movies on your computer, you can start them directly from the IMDb without resorting to the IMDb app.
I wrote this eBook when I realized how dependent I’ve become on IMDb to find all but the most popular free movies on Amazon to watch on my Kindle Fire. I hope you enjoy it as much as I’m enjoying the free movies I’m watching:-)

At 24 pages Finding Free Movies is not intimidatingly long, and describes its "purpose as simply to help Amazon Prime members find great movies".
How well does it perform it? Pretty well. This focuses on using the integration between IMDB and Amazon to use IMDBs powerful search tools to find movies by star, runtime, rating, format, etc. The description of how to use IMDB's search functions to drll down to find currently free movies on Amazon is interesting. The hints and tips on how best to search, and the suggestions on how to use watchlists, are also very useful.
It has a much broader scope that the title describes: you don't need a Kindle Fire since most of the tips will work with other tablets and app-based devices, and the IMDB search tips will work with a few more providers than just Amazon Prime.
I don't know how much this ebook usually costs, but as a free guide on how to use IMDB, this is excellent. It's clearly written, easy to follow and above all understandable. I gave this to my decidedly non-technical relative, and she could follow the steps inside. In terms of presentation, the cover is a little bland, and inside it uses the standard non-fiction style: a line break between paragraphs and fully justified text.
How good is it as a how-to guide? It's a twenty-four page pamphlet getting 4 stars. Rating:4
