How do you download an eBook for free?

Answer 1

Downloading an eBook for free is easy, but the process is different depending on where you get the eBook, and the device you are using (Kindle, Nook, iPad, iPhone, Sony, etc.)

There are many good sites that offer eBooks for free. Generally, you want to keep an eye out for sites that specialize in eBooks, and will work to maintain the quality of the content high and the volume of junk low.

For comprehensive sites that cover many different formats check out:

- Scribd: has an easy to follow visual browsing format, and includes releases from major publishers as well as self published content.

- Obooko: has over 2300 free ebooks in all genres and categories. All contemporary and legally-licensed for free distribution by obooko.

- Project Gutenburg: a huge repository of books that are out of copyright. Classics, and older works that may not be on the best seller list, but basically 99 percent of everything published 50+ years ago. The classics, old pulp fiction, historical novels, self help books.

- Manybooks: This is a front end for Project Gutenburg and several other repositories of free eBooks that helps you to manipulate the format. This is particularly helpful to deal with formatting for your particular eBook reader.

For something a little different:

- Daily Lit will deliver a book in installments to your device for free.
