As everyone here is suggesting, the public library is the best way to get sci fi for the Kindle. Whatever app yours uses, it just connects you to Amazon to download the book for free, for 1-3 weeks, whichever you choose. Sometimes there is a wait, place a hold and it shows up eventually.

Not sure if your device supports connection to your public library, but I have been reading literally hundreds of books since Covid on my iPhone using Libby at first, and now the Palace Project. I still purchase the odd book if it’s one I know I will read repeatedly but I haven’t bought an ebook in some time due to using the library.
Good list, btw. I loved the Arkady Martine books. You might want to try Gideon the Ninth and the sequels.
Check out the Omega Force books. They are a really fun read. Sort of like Guardians of the Galaxy but less magicky.
Thanks!
I have found Kobo and Z-Library to be worth it for sci-fi.
+1 for zlibrary.
I use smashwords personally, they don't have all the big authors but I have read dozens of multiple book series, and lots of them are free
If you like Space Opera, try the Kris Longknife series (starting with Kris Longknife: Mutineer) and the Aeon 14 books by M D Cooper (starting with The Complete Intrepid Saga) - all of which are on Kindle. Also on Kindle: Columbus Day (Expeditionary Force Book 1) All books in the series John Ringo's Empire of Man series starting with March Upcountry
I tried KU for a month or two but I couldn’t find enough good books to read to justify the cost. Instead I just got a digital library subscription and read on my phone/tablet.
