You’ve got an ebook reader (or a laptop or netbook with ebook reading software) now you just need some free books to put it to good use. Read on as we show you the best places to score free books online. There are quite a few places where you can pay for books online such as,, and the —among many other options—but what about scoring free books? Let’s take a look at some of the more popular free book destinations online. Each entry includes information about the site and what kind of ebook formats the site natively supports. A few note worthy things before we continue. First things first, you’re going to need an ebook reader. This could be a physical ebook device like the, the, or a. ![]() ![]() Get started making an ebook with Blurb's ebook creator. Easily design and share an ebook for Amazon Kindle Fire ®, Apple iPad®, Android, and Mac or PC computers. Search the world's most comprehensive index of full-text books. It could also be your laptop, smart phone, or computer running ebook software—such as the Kindle or Nook software for PCs or a third party ebook reading software. Chances are that if you’re reading this article you’ve already got that part figured out; we just didn’t want anything to stand between you and your free books. Second, If you’re going to be converting between ebook formats (such as converting ePUB books to MOBI books for use on your Kindle) we highly recommend the robust and powerful open-source ebook management software —we can’t stress enough how awesome Calibre is for managing and converting your ebook collection. Finally, the following methods for finding free ebooks are all legal. We know as well as the next geek that anybody and their brother can fire up a BitTorrent client and download entire ebook libraries or simply hunt and peck in Google search results for PDF files; this roundup, however, is focused on legitimate channels for acquiring new reading material. Downloading these free books might make book publishers sad over their lost profits but they won’t send an armada of lawyers after you. Project Gutenberg is the grand daddy of free ebook web sites. Started by Michael Hart in the 1970s the original collection was a small assortment of books that Hart hand typed in order to digitize classic works of literature. Since then the project has grown enormously and now contains 33,000 books and documents in the public domain. You won’t find a larger or better organized collection of classics anywhere on the internet. All the books at Project Gutenberg are free, legal, and available as ePub, Kindle, HTML, and basic text documents. ManyBooks.net If you like the idea of Project Gutenberg—a massive index of public domain books—but you’re not a fan of their Spartan interface and text-only listings, then is for you. ManyBooks is essentially a Project Gutenberg mirror with some extras layered on top. Those extras include detailed entries for each book with summaries, cover art, book reviews, and books formatted in over 20 digital formats. If you’re looking for the Project Gutenberg experience with more of a modern digital bookstore feel and flair, ManyBooks.net is it. All the books are free and formats include LIT, LRF, ePUB, MOBI, PDF, and more. DailyLit takes a novel approach to ebooks. Rather than offer an entire book for instant download, they’ve essentially modernized the idea of the serialized novel. In decades past magazines and newspapers would print books, almost always popular fiction, in serial form breaking the book up into small segments. ![]() The publication’s readers were able to enjoy the book and the author was paid a lump sum by the publication. DailyLit takes that model and applies it to email and RSS. You pick out a book, they send you a chunk every day, and you read and enjoy it with a small bit of advertising attached. They solve two dilemmas which this arrangement: how to get commercial books in front of people for free and how to fit reading into a busy schedule. It’s not a perfect solution for everyone but the books are free and the topics diverse. DailyLit currently features a selection of around a thousand books. FeedBooks has a regular ebook storefront, but the part we’re interested in is and. Between the two they have thousands of novels, short stories, and poetry collections. It is one of the smaller collections in our roundup but we’re not going to complain—free but small is still free. All FeedBooks ebooks are in ePUB format. Amazon’s Free and Discounted Section You may be wondering why Amazon, given its size, wasn’t at the top of the list. The hassle factor of using Amazon’s services—unless you’re a Kindle owner or Kindle software user—is quite high. None the less you can score some free books of both and. Amazon’s store has over 15,000 public domain books and hundreds of promotional books at any given time. To use the free books from Amazon you’ll need to send them either to your Kindle or to your Kindle software on your computer, Android phone, or other device. If you’re trying to rip them to another format you’ll need to use the software on a computer so you can easily access the files. Send the books to your Kindle for PC account, open the folder with your books, and dump them into Calibre. Public domain and completely free books are not encrypted and you can easily use Calibre to convert them to other formats. Books which are not public domain but are temporarily free as a promotion are still encrypted and cannot be converted in Calibre. Still, if you really want to read a book that’s temporarily free in the Amazon Kindle bookstore, it might be worth loading the Kindle software on your computer or phone—this is one of the few methods for legally getting non-public-domain books for free-as-in-beer. Note: The and the store both have similar free section, though not as large as Amazon’s. Armed with the above links and tips you’ll never be short on reading material again. Have a source for free and legal books to share? Let’s hear about it in the comments. Books aren't dead. They're just getting digitized, like everything else. While there's a real charm to owning a stack of bound paper that you can fold the corners of, underline, and read without staring at a screen, ebooks are far more convenient. Your backpack can hold maybe four or five books, but one e-reader or tablet can hold thousands of titles. Plus, e-readers allow you to search text, share the saucy bits, and read at night without a light. You can publish your own ebook relatively easily. Any text you find on the web that you'd rather read on your Kindle? Port it over. And, if you've got the time, you can turn your favorite antiquated paper book into an ebook too. It's just going to take a lot of page turning—and scanning. So whether you're ready to share the manuscript that's been sitting in a folder on your desktop for years, or you'd like digitize an old paper copy of Cervantes, here's our guide to creating a digital copy of just about any book. Pick a Format There are a handful of popular formats that will work with just about any e-reader, but you'll have to base your final decision on whether the book is just for you, or for a wider audience. If you'd rather not put your book in Amazon's store, but you'd still like to make a Kindle- or iPad-readable ebook that you can distribute on some other website, try using a service like. The ebook creation software offers many options to lay out your book however you like. Also note that all e-readers, including Kindles, can read PDF files. An easy path to digital publishing is to just output your book as a PDF, then host the file on the web. This is the easiest publishing method if you're digitizing an old book. Depending on the e-reader being used, PDF files may not be searchable, and some of the more advanced features of the e-reader may not be available. You can give those PDFs extra power by converting them into one of the ebook-native formats like the Kindle's azw3. The free software app called Calibre can to and from just about any format. The Scan Plan If you penned your new bestseller on a computer, publishing it as an ebook is easy. But if you're working from a real paper book—something hand-made, something with no digital version—you're going to have to scan it. The cheap but tedious option is to flip each page and use a traditional flat scanner to capture each page. It's difficult to get a clean scan, though, and you'll likely lose some words to the shadow of the book's spine. The coolest way to digitize an old page-turner is to use a book scanner with a flexible cradle. A can cost upwards of $10,000, so unless you have a library of out-of-print rarities, you might want to see if there's a book scanner available at your local library. There are also services like and that have made the hardware investment and will digitize your book for a fee (usually under $15 per book). If you're the DIY type, you can try building your own book scanner. There's a large and active of ebook enthusiasts who are building their own scanners. It could be fun! Share It—Or Don't Now that you have a digital version of your book, how are you going to distribute it? You could sell your book, give it away for free, or keep it all to yourself. If you want to sell it, your best options for the widest distribution are Amazon's Kindle Marketplace or Apple's iBookstore. Both stores lay out clear instructions for how to work with them to distribute your masterpiece. Both also let you give it away for free. If you'd rather keep things indie, has a publishing tool (the company also makes awesome e-readers), and is a platform that many independent authors use. Here's of alternative booksellers. Just trying to share a cool first edition copy of your favorite old text with a niche crew? Start with a PDF, then convert it to a few different formats so each person can have the format that works best for them. Congrats on your new ebook! And do remember not to lick your finger to turn the page on your Kindle. It doesn't quite work like that anymore. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gospel for Asia -- FREE BOOK Website: Description: Gospel for Asia is targeting 2.7 billion unreached.

The book is aimed at students as well as professionals, and it is certainly appropriate for both, be it at the introductory level and as a solid reference for seasoned green designers.” - John Hill, A Weekly Dose of Architecture “[O]ffers a useful introduction to green designthe content stays fairly schematic to help guide and introduce green strategiespurposely avoids creating a green building checklist and getting bogged down in technical detailscover[s] a wide variety of topics and show[s] how they are interrelated systems.

It's wish-fulfillment for every kid who ever wanted to fight back against organized activities and be utterly cool whilst doing so. Mike Webster isn't thrilled to be at camp. Four weeks of being forced to play sports and meet a bunch of strange kids isn't exactly the reward he was hoping for when he got top grades. But then he meets Rudy Miller. Rudy isn't happy to be at camp either but he's not going to take this travesty lying down - he's fighting back! ![]() At first, Mike thinks he's a total kook, but he can't help getting drawn into Rudy's wacky plans and the two slowly become friends. In the end, they might not make it home, but they're going to have one crazy summer of trying! Mike and Rudy are like Bruno and Boots from Korman's MacDonald Hall series but times ten. You can't help but sympathize with the adults, landed with a modern-day Bartleby who simply won't participate, especially when they discover that he excels at everything. On the other hand, if you haven't completely left your childhood behind, you can sympathize with Rudy too, being forced to play sports (which he hates) just because he's really good at it. Of course, the main draw of this book is the constant hilarity. From the first prank Rudy pulls on their annoying roommate Harold to the final epic disaster, there's not a dull moment. ![]() The hapless counselors, gung ho director, and outraged campers are as nothing before Rudy's determination and smarts, not to mention a little natural intervention. Verdict: A perfect summer reading, most likely to appeal to middle grade readers. Alas, it is out of print in the US and the Canadian edition is unavailable. I purchasing a used edition for myself and you may wish to do the same. Until then, I can only hope the publisher reissues it so that every kid can snicker through the pages and come up with their own smart aleck pranks and remarks to drive adults wild.

Gordon Korman writes a hilarious story of a boy who hates camp and will do whatever it takes to escape. I read it on the subway and laughed out loud. This is a great book for a parent to read to a child and is sure to spark the interest of reluctant readers. As an adult you appreciate the frustration of the counsellors who have to deal with such a problematic kid and as a kid you just want to be at that camp laughing at Miller's antics. If your kid liked Diary of a Wimpy Kid he/she will LOVE this book! I have read this book so many times that I have gone through three copies - three different covers shown as choices here! In spite of being able to recite passages off the top of my head, the hilarious moments in this book still make me laugh out loud - sometimes just if they are brought to mind, and when I'm not reading it. For any kid who ever went to camp, for those who wished they hadn't, and anyone who ever wished they could buck the system just enough to make people take them on their own terms, this book is a great choice. I found this book in the library of my school and it was rated 'humor'. This is one of the few books that's actually funny. The author, has an interesting way of making you laugh. This story is about a kid named Rudy who is a natural athlete. However, he hates sports. So, his parents sent him to a summer camp in Algonquin Island that's full of sports. This results with Rudy and his new friend Mike trying in to escape camp. Each time he fails and each time, his camp counsellor is chasing him down. This story has a very interesting plot.

The other way to find free Kindle books is to search Amazon. While being in the Kindle Store, in the search box type “free kindle books”. This method gives an idea how many books are free in Amazon’s ebookstore. Project Gutenberg We made such lists for other ebookstores, and Project Gutenberg is always there.

This is what may happen in the Kindle Store as well. You can get Jane Austen’s book for free from Project Gutenberg, and find out that the same title costs one or two dollars in Amazon’s ebookstore. A good thing with books from Project Gutenberg is that if the original book had illustrations, you will be also able to get them in the ebook version.

Internet Archive The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library with a mission of “universal access to all knowledge.” The website is a huge digital library of text, audio and video files. It offers over 3.8 mln ebooks and texts. Sub-collections include American Libraries, Canadian Libraries, books from Project Gutenberg, titles from the Million Books Project, and books for children. When you find an interesting book, you’ll see in the left panel the list of available formats. In most cases mobi format will be included – here called Kindle. Open Library Open Library is another site founded by the Internet Archive. The site positions itself as “the world’s classic literature at your fingertips”. There are over 1,000,000 free ebook titles available. The biggest benefit of Open Library is that it’s driven by a strong community. It’s like Wikipedia for ebooks. If the book had more than one edition, you’ll see them listed on Open Library. For instance, Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, first published in 1876, have 306 editions altogether and most of them have separate download directories. Unlike other sites in the list, Open Library offers not only a mobi file, but also the option to send the book to Kindle – what saves a couple of clicks and makes a process of adding books much quicker. Munseys The site is different from the others, as it offers over 30,000 rare titles that you can’t find anywhere else. If you are a pulp-fiction freak, you should go no further. Munseys has probably the largest catalog of pulp-fiction titles from the 30s and 40s of the last century – over 1,600 titles are included in the category. There are other very specific categories here, such as Elizabethans, Folklore, Orient Express, or Esoteric. Out of 13 file formats, two are for Kindle. “Mobipocket/Kindle” is in fact a.prc file. If you want a.mobi, download the file called “Kindle Fire”. Feedbooks On Feedbooks you can find both public domain ( Public Domain section) and free contemporary books ( Original Books section), both fiction and non-fiction. As the site is based in France, there are a lot of titles in French, as well as in other languages, not only in English.

The download button links by default to epub file, but you can download from a text link next to it, saying “also available for Kindle“. Mobipocket While it’s not easy to find free Kindle books on Amazon, Mobipocket is exclusively about them. The site is owned by Amazon and lists over 11,500 free books. It’s the only website, except Amazon, from where you can download books only for Kindle. The site is pretty simple and does nothing except listing books. All of them are public domain, and the last books was added to catalog in 2006. Baen Free Library Baen is an ebook online store, selling ebooks from a dozen of publishers, that also operates Baen Free Library. The library was established, because the cost giving away an ebook version of the book was cheaper than buying an advertising. That’s why in the Free Library you can find newly released title, not literature classics. Although Baen is an ebookstore, you can download free books without the need to register or leave an email address. Some of the books may be included in the Free Library, but their status may have changed to paid, so double-check it before downloading. Goodreads The largest book discovery site, Goodreads, offers also books in mobi/Kindle format. The catalog is not huge, there are only 2,500 titles listed here, but they are very interesting ones. For instance you can download Harry Potter: The Prequel by J.K. Rowling, a short story set about three years before the birth of Harry Potter. It recounts an adventure experienced by Sirius Black and James Potter. ManyBooks The site offers almost 30,000 free ebooks.

Nathan drowned when he jumped into a lake to save a girl’s. ![]() Summary: A successful writer is enjoying life in the fast lane. Until his love life disintegrates that is and he then suffers writer's block of which there appears to be a rather unusual solution. ![]() Maybe Borrow? Maybe Pages: 320 Date: Publisher: Gallic Books External links: ISBN: 9058 Share on: This is a modern book for modern times. I loved the reader-friendly layout with big, bold type letting the reader know exactly where we were, in terms of storyline and location. But the story itself does jump about a lot and I suspect Musso wants to give a sense of urgency, a sense of frenetic energy at times. The blurb on the back cover is intriguing but there appeared to be an element of fantasy which is not one of my favourite genres. For me, a little fantasy goes a long, long way. So I really didn't know if I was going to enjoy this book or not. To give a sense of Tom's the central character writing success there's a clutch of newspaper quotes saying wonderful things about his books. He's been commissioned to write a trilogy. Two books in this Angel Trilogy have already been written and gobbled up by an adoring readership. Things go from good to very good as Columbia Pictures, no less, have purchased the film rights for the trilogy. No pressure then. Normally Tom would sit down and simply polish off the third book (as he did with the first two) but there's now a problem. His personal life has nose-dived, his gorgeous girlfriend has called it off and this has resulted in something far worse than death: writer's block. Everyone appears to have abandoned the now-loser Tom apart from the long-term friend and agent, Milo. He cannot bear to see Tom in such a state. Slumped in an unwashed heap on the sofa, basically. He's not responding to the outside world. So emails, texts, phone calls are ignored. ![]() ![]() Apparently the irrepressible Milo has hatched a plan to save his friend. But it's daring and also rather far-fetched. Will it work? Enter a pretty - and very mouthy - young woman called Billie. She's feisty and fearless, but sadly she's not real. She's a figment of the imagination - Tom's imagination. She's a character from one of his earlier books now in the flesh apparently. Yes, fantasy-land writ large. The conversations between Billie and Tom are upbeat, charming and often quite funny. Musso has created a likeable character in Billie. She was the one - the only one really, who stood out. I had no trouble picturing her in my mind's eye. Pity she wasn't real. She quickly got my attention and also some of my sympathy. Tom came across as weak (I know that's part of his character flaw) but he was weak generally. I forgot what he had to say almost as soon as he'd said it. To be fair, I enjoyed around the first third of the book but then I lost interest. I felt the book overly long and some of the action duplicated all of which gave the book a padded-out feel which I didn't appreciate. The pace is sometimes slowed down by dense and rather dull paragraphs here and there. Musso's style generally lacked sparkle for me. But - here's the rub. The ending is surprising, delightful and very good. But I had to wade through around 200 pages or so to get to some decent writing which was such a pity. So overall, a less-than-average read for me.
