My Top 5 Places to Find Free Ebooks!!
If you are a looking for some great places to find free ebooks, I have compiled a list of my favorites.
Project Gutenberg : This site is great for public domain books, mainly classics. It has a great variety of information that you can use.
Scribd : I love this site, and for Facebook junkies you can actually login with your Facebook Id and keep track of your friends.
Daily Lit : Now I am really excited about this site. For people who claim they do not have enough time to read. This site is for you! You can register and request a book to read, after you do that. They will email you a small portion each day, until you are finished the entire novel. I really like this one!!!
BookCrossing : This is another site I really like. I am going to start using this really soon. Basically, you can take the books you have read, and pass them along to people from over 100 countries, or locally if you desire. They give you an id number, and then each person the book is passed to can leave a comment. So it is a nice little way to keep your books circulating, and meet fellow book lovers.
WikiBooks : I don't know where the developers where when I was in school, but this site has a variety of textbooks available to you for free. I am hoping this can save some students some serious money!
In addition to these sites, I often go to googlebooks. Googlebooks has alot of the classics available to many people who want to read them.
Please feel free to let me know which ones you like, or if I left out any of your favorites!!
