We all love to read! But books can be so expensive these days. I have put together a list of sites to download books for free, or that let you know about great deals to buy them inexpensively. This is a great way to build your digital library. If you know of other websites where you can download books for free, please let me know. Note: I am not responsible for the content on other sites. Use your discretion.

Inexpensive Books

I use a service called Book Bub to find free and inexpensive books. When you sign up for their free service, you select the categories of books you are interested in. Then whenever inexpensive or free books become available, they email you with a list. The books are normally available on Amazon and sometimes on Apple. I pick up a lot of many of my books from Book Bub. You can check them out for yourself here.

I have not used the following services, but they appear to be similar to Book Bub in that they send out lists of free or inexpensive [on sale] books. Check them out for yourself.

Download Books For Free

One of the best know websites for free books is Project Gutenberg. Some websites want to sell you a membership in order to download free books. This is not the case with Project Gutenberg. They are completely free, although you can make donations if you desire. They currently have 60,000 free ebooks in several different formats. Project Gutenberg specializes in older books that are no longer under U.S. copyright. You can find great fiction and non-fiction books here. They can be searched by title or author. You can also just browse categories that you are interested in. Check them out here.

Note: Many of the websites for free books below seem to take their Public Domain books from Project Gutenberg, so it that is what you are looking for, you might as well start at the source.
