Does the Site Have Free Ebooks to Download?
Some sites provide collections of ebooks free of charge. Although you might find
normally for-purchase ebooks available for free on unscrupulous sites or torrents,
providing or obtaining pirated ebooks is illegal and unfair to authors and publishers.
All sites listed here have only fully legal ebook collections. Expect to find limited
selections of newer titles and wider varieties of older titles. In some cases, authors
have opted to make their work available electronically for free, often for the purpose
of reaching the wides audience possible. In other cases,
copyrights have expired. The classics also are commonly found in free ebook collections.
