Adventure #22 eBooks

eBooks are becoming a fast-growing phenomenon with all the competition in eBook readers; however, as with everything else, you can invest a lot of money into purchasing the reader and the book; there are several places that I researched that provide free eBooks. These are books that are part of the public domain, books not covered under copyright laws in the United States. I found some of my favorites: Emma by Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, to name a few.

There are two sites that I really like for free eBooks; one is the Gutenberg Project and the other is Many Books, found at http://www.manybooks.net. You can browse in Many Books by author, title, genre or language. Their are many different formats for download including PDF files.

Another site was mentioned, http://www.friedbeef.com. This site provides "best places to get free eBooks." However, this site was not working properly.

For elementary schools, there is a website called Tumblebook Library but you must pay for a subscription unless you can access it through a public library.

If you are interested in purchasing eBooks, you can visit The World e-Book Fair for websites.

That is all for now techies.....................
