Freebie of the Day: Free Books!

One of the best kept secrets is Project Gutenberg.   This site offers over 30,000 books that are in e-book form.  They carry high quality items: Their books were previously published on paper by bona fide publishers and digitized with the help of thousands of volunteers.


All their ebooks can be easily downloaded: Choose between ePub, Mobipocket, HTML and simple text formats.   Their books are free in the United States because their copyright has expired. They may not be free in other countries. Readers outside of the United States must check the copyright laws of their countries before downloading or redistributing the ebooks.

There is no fee or registration required to use the site.  You have the option to donate if you wish. 

My son loves to read the G. A. Henty books.  They can be difficult to find or expensive to purchase.  We have found most if not all of Henty's books here.  We download the book and then burned it to CD so my son can read it on his laptop.  You could also read it from the computer to which you downloaded it. 

To Save: Click on the title of the book.  On that page, right click on the "main site" on the HTML line and then click "save target as"  Choose a file to save it in and click save.  That's it!

I have also used this site to preview a book I was planning to buy.  Easy and quick.  Search by author.

Hopefully, you enjoyed this freebie tip.  Any questions?  Just drop me a line.  Let me know if you also like Project Gutenberg.
