You can certainly do a google search on the book. You can also read the reviews at Amazon, and you can download a 'preview' to allow you to read the first portion of the book to help you decide whether to buy it.

But there's no objective way to determine that a Kindle book contains true information. Tell me the book, and I could take a look and say whether, in my opinion, the information was true. I might even be able to say whether the majority of experts in that field would say the info was true.

But I could be wrong and experts can be wrong. Truth is tricky.

(But if it says XXXXXXXXXXXX* or XXXXXXX* then it's rubbish.)
