Ebooks are awesome! They are great ways to read on the go and to keep a lot of books at your fingertips. While they will never replace paper books, ebooks are becoming more and more common place. But did you know that there are many, many ebooks that are out there for free? Some are classics but some are quite new and even best sellers! You can find them too but it is all about where to look!
My favorite hub is BooksShouldBeFree.com! They don’t provide any ebooks themselves but link you straight to the sources for many! They also have audio books in addition! They show links to a lot of the big sites but not everything.
Another hub for many is your local library’s website! Here in Fresno the Fresno County Library’s page has tons of ebook resources! Our library (and many others) have free magazines through Zinio that download and are yours. There are also lending agreements with OverDrive, 3M Cloud Library, Bookflix and OneClickdigital. Many of the books provided through these services are a lot of bestsellers and popular books.
I also like going straight to Amazon! They have free collections and often have many sales. I am currently reading Pinterest Savvy: How I Got 1 Million+ Followers (Strategies, Plans, and Tips to Grow Your Business with Pinterest) that I picked up when it was free!
We are also very fond of the Gutenberg Project! They really are the originator of the free ebook. It was the original place for all the copyright free material. BooksShouldBeFree links to them a lot!
So in this day of ebooks, do you currently read them? What is your favorite kind of book to read on a device?
Love ebooks! I read a lot on my ipad. Thanks for the list of free sources!
We are huge ebooks fans! I love them for myself, I much prefer reading from a book BUT it gets read once and then stored. We have 3 bookshelves overflowing! I am trying to buy books as ebooks and if I love it enough to read again, then purchase the paper copy. Thanks for sharing and linking up at Favorite things Friday! Hope to see you again this week!
