Compendium of e-book sites

By Paul Biba

GizmosTSA.pngIt’s always great to get links from our readers. You will note that you have heavily contributed to the site today.

Here, from British author Richard Herley, is a link to a compendium of over 100 e-book sites. This is worth bookmarking and keeping handy. The author says:

I recently 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. I did verify that these all are active and working.

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 listings may be search in the following methods:

* Alphabetical Listing – A listing of the site names in alphabetical order

* Listing by Genre – A listing of sites by genre

* Online Local Libraries – These sites have links to local libraries which have much content for members
