Enter your good stuff: Shop Scary your tablet day for discounts on horror e-books

Update: October 3, 2024, 9:20 am EDT Horrorsmith Publishing’s Scare Your Tablet Event is still not live due to contract issues. We are tracking company updates and will update as soon as it goes live.

Stuff Your Kindle Day started as a grassroots event organized by authors to get more books to readers. It’s a magical 24 hours where authors drop prices on e-books, some cost a few dollars and some are completely free. While the official Stuff Your Kindle Day has come and gone in 2024, a new event has arrived, and it’s for horror lovers.

Your Scary Tablet Day started last year, organized by Horrorsmith Publishing, a publishing house founded in 2022 that specializes in horror. The event first started in 2023 and will return this year. The titles available during Terrify Your Tablet Day have yet to be announced, but here’s what we know so far:

When is the Trify Your Tablet date?

Trify Your Tablet Day is a new event. He started last year on Oct. 31, 2023. This year’s event is scheduled to begin October 3, 2024. However, it seems that Horrorsmith Publishing ran into a problem before their event. According to the company’s Facebook page, they said, “We realized too late that a large number of authors who listed their books as available on other book distribution platforms are actually on Kindle Unlimited. This means that their eBooks cannot be available on other platforms, per Amazon’s exclusivity clause.”

And in a Facebook post, they noted that the event should go live at 11 am EST.

Who can participate in Trify Your Tablet Day?

While Stuff Your Kindle Day sounds hyper-specific to Amazon’s e-readers, it actually works on any e-reader. It’s the same with Terrify Your Tablet. As the name suggests, you can access free and discounted books on all e-readers including Kindles, Kobos, iPads, and Nooks.

Don’t have an e-reader? You can also access books on your smartphone through the Kindle app, Apple Books, or Google Books.

However, an e-reader will improve your reading. After reviewing the best e-readers, I think the Kindle Paperwhite is the best out there. It’s just the right size, has a matte anti-glare screen, and is waterproof. If a tablet is more your speed, go with the iPad Mini. It’s the same size as the Kindle but gives you all the benefits of streaming or gaming on a tablet.
