250+ Places for Free Books Online

Updated Wed, 02/17/2010 - 14:02 by keroffs
Introduction
This is a listing of 260 sites that legally offer free books (eBooks) for download or for online viewing.
Some time ago I went looking for some free eBooks and was surprised to find that there are many
resources for this. I decided to put together this list of sites that offer free eBooks as a reference.
Since there are so many, I was not able to check each one out thoroughly. So comments from you on
any of these sites would be appreciated and added to the comments in the article.
I have tried to make certain that all of the eBooks at these sites are legally available for
viewing/downloading. However, it is possible that I have made a mistake. If you suspect any of these
sites of illegally offering copyrighted materials, then please let me know.
Putting this together was exhausting, but the list is not exhaustive, so I encourage you to post any sites
that you know of that are not listed here.
The listing here is in alphabetical order. Given the size of this list now, it may be easier to search by
genre. I have set up 14 pages here of different genres. If you do not see one that covers your
interests, let me know and I may be able to put one together.
I have also put together a listing of sites that offer free and legal audio books at
Free Audio Books Online
These listings may be search in the following methods:
Alphabetical Listing - A listing of the site names in alphabetical order
Listing by Genre - Links to pages here for different book genres (14)
Online Local Libraries -These sites have links to local libraries which have much content for
members

works on the site. The site claims to have over 5 million works. Online viewing only.
Tikiri has a nice collection of Sri Lankan stories available in English and Sinhalese available as pdf.
ToddlerSchool has a small collection of illustrated books to read and listen to online. Also has
educational games for younger children. Suggested by Sefi.
TopMystery A good amount of each of the few mystery authors listed are available for online viewing
or download
Tor.com has a good number of Science Fiction & Fantasy stories available for download in pdf, mobi
pocket, html or ePub. Also available for listening or download as MP3.
TrinityMoon a small collection of novels and short stories for online reading.
Vitalita The Vitalita Culinary Group is offering two free vegan cookbooks for download in text. A Taste
of Vitality and Desserts of Vitality include pictures of the finished dishes.
Web Literature has 6500+ works of over 350 authors available for online viewing. A nice feature is
that they try to display the full works of the listed authors
WitGuides - Small collection of free ebooks in a variety of categories.
WordIQ Nice collection of over 10,000 books available for online viewing. There are some unusual
entries here, but hard to find unless looking for specific title or author.
WorldofTales a collection of folktales, fairy tales and fables from around the world available for online
viewing.
WorldWideSchool has a fairly large collection of free books spread across 12 categories, with
numerous sub-categories. Search by author name and title also available. Available for online viewing.
Wowio - Good size collection of novels and also comic books.
Zbooc has a large collection of books, tutorials and how to guides for download in pdf. A free site,
but registration is required. Suggested by Glenn.
Libraries
On the advice of anonymous poster that most public library systems offer free ebooks, audiobooks, and
music downloads to their customers for free, I did some checking and found that there are a large
amount of offerings available through online libraries. It appears most, if not all, require a local library
card. These are sites that have links to local library sites.
LibWeb is a good search source for local libraries online. A good selection of US and worldwide
locations.
Public Libraries very good for US, looked not as thorough as LibWeb on worldwide.
Internet Public Library also has some links, but I found the above two to be superior set ups.
Genre Pages
Because this page is becoming extremely long I have switched the genre sections to their own pages.
Please check these separate pages out if you are interested in a particular genre as they have some
links that have not been added to this main list as of yet and they also have links to audio books.

OK. I just did my OWN brief search for Shakespeare. I just have a 'special feel' for
searching the internet.
Maybe you'll want to add some of these sites?
The Collected Works of Shakespeare: http://www.it.usyd.edu.au/~matty/Shakespeare/

"The comments on MIT's Shakespeare site notwithstanding, this site is the web's first
edition of Shakespeare. The text is based on the same text as the MIT site but came online
in October 1993, two months before the MIT site."
or perhaps ....
Shakespeare's Plays
The complete texts of Shakespeare plays with explanatory notes, from your trusted
Shakespeare source. http://www.shakespeare-online.com/plays/
William Shakespeare. Biography of William Shakespeare and a searchable collection of

works. http://www.online-literature.com/shakespeare/
Read William Shakespeare books online - The Literature Page

http://www.literaturepage.com/authors/William-Shakespeare.html
Or here:

Those sites will definitely go in here and the classics page.
As to other authors, that has been a bit of a stumbling block for me. What I envisioned
for the classics page was to have links much like yours above to a number of writers
who are recognized as greats. There are a good number of sites that carry classic
works, so I thought it would be good to have links to sites for those individuals.
Certainly Shakespeare is one of the greats. Who else to include, and not include, is a
tougher question for me.
Some names I have thought of (and you can give your opinion) are:
Mark Twain
Leo Tolstoy
Charles Dickens
Miguel de Cervantes
George Bernard Shaw
Samuel Beckett
I was also thinking of some of the great Greek writers of long ago.
I do not know how many individual listings would be the right number to have.
Any pages you find on authors you feel belong there are great
Great work

Definitely a go for both here and the classics page, but unfortunately the links I
have checked so far (Shakespeare/Walter Scott) for biographies etc., have
come up invalid page. So that part seems to be out.
The book links are all valid so far, for online reading. I do find their use of
hypertext a bit distracting, but that may just be me.
I'll have to take a closer look to see if their collections are the complete works.
Still, a good find even if some of the features are not available.

books so far and they all lead to a site with that info.

Thanks for that info. That was not the case when I wrote this list. I will have to re-check the
2020k links in general.
I was able to get downloads for some books there. But it appears that many of the ones from
the Internet Archive (which got them from Google) have the error you refer to.
Since the ones that I ran into as not available at the archive were from Google, I checked
over at Google and I have some work to do on that also. There are more mystery books there
that are not listed under mystery.
I will be shifting the genre categories to their own pages soon and hopefully will get that
worked out so the links can be accurate.
