Free and Almost Free Ebooks by April Farrell-Hasty

If you have an e-reader or an iPad or tablet, then you want to get some free ebooks!

When I don’t feel well, sometimes all I do is read or study.  I have always loved to read, since I was a child. Almost from the beginning, I have had an e-reader.  I recently underwent surgery and spent a lot of time looking for free books as well as reading. This is what I found:

Ebooks on Apps

On your iPad you can download the Kindle and Nook app weather you have a kindle Nook or not. They offer free ebooks. Nook offers free books every Friday. Go to amazon.com and/or barnesandnoble.com and then you download the right software.  Books average about $10.00 each. You can only read free books. Everyone has a friend that does that. I did it over Christmas! My goal was to read all the holiday books that I downloaded for free.

They were actually all very good. Some of these sites also have free movies. May I make a suggestion? First, start with the classics. Last year I started reading the classics. I read Bram Strokers Dracula and it was the least scary book I ever read. It was good! I read Pride and Prejudice, the Count of Monte Cristo, and many other classic books. I still have Moby Dick as well as a few others to read. If you have a library card you can borrow books and download them to your Kindle, Nook, or iPad. Then in addition, the books just disappear off your device in two weeks just like you would have to return a library book. So read fast!

Ebooks from the Library

First, go to the library website, enter your library card number, and you can download and transfer the book to your device. Kindle has a free daily email where they offer discounted books and a free daily book. Most of these sites offer millions of free books.

Ebooks at Barnes and Noble

Barnes and Noble offers free classes every Saturday on how to use the Nook. The library offers classes on how to use books and audiobooks on your iPad, so check with your local library. A lot of these classes at the library are geared toward seniors, so the classes are often in the middle of a weekday.

Enjoy!

This has been my free source for books for years. There are more than 36,000 titles.
