With the advancement of technology reading is taking on new forms and e-books are now extremely popular. Buying e-books can get as expensive as buying real printed books so knowing how to find free e-books is a good thing to keep your digital reading on a budget.

This isn’t going to be a post about stealing digital copies of the newest New York Times Bestseller’s but that does not mean that the e-books that you can fully legally obtain for free are of poor quality in the slightest. I’m going to share some of the best resources for picking up ebooks of many types for free.

How To Find Free e-Books, My Resources

There are a few formats of ebook but the most common is PDF or Kindle. Most mobile devices (phones, ipads, laptops and digital ebook readers) can be equipped to read pretty much every format of ebook so there is no worries there. if you need any help with formats and reading just ask in the comments and I will help you out.

Best overall resource, Project Gutenberg – No matter what kind of ebook you are trying to download Project Gutenberg is a great place to start. They supply the ebooks as download for most major ebook formats, no registration is required and it’s just an awesome resource. They say they have over 330k ebooks so you are unlikely to run out of books to read!

The classics – Most classic books are out of copyright. That means that pretty much every classic you can remember from the works of Shakespeare to Bronte are available to download  from around the web. Planet ebook has a great range and currenly have 84 classics including Wuthering Heights and 1984.

Self published books - The internet has basically opened up publishing for everyone. No longer do you need to get a book deal or be hired as a journalist to write. Aspiring authors are offering some of their finest work up for your scrutiny for free in the hope of eventually getting a deal. In the meantime you can find a star author in the making. How cool is that? Smashwords has a great selection of free and low priced self published books for download in many genres from fiction to self help.

Car Manuals – Who knew it! You can find a manual for many cars online as an ebook for free! OnlineFreeBooks.net has links to many manuals for many models.

Internet Marketing - I won’t provide a link here. All I can say is that if you visit any known (and many unknown) marketers websites they are giving away free material on all aspects of internet marketing and earning money online. Of course the fill the books with affiliate links and sometimes just provide teasers of full services but heay if you are aware of this you can find some priceless free content.

I would love to know what tips you have for how to find free e-books and if you have any other comments.

As always, thanks for reading.
