Free PDF books?
August 25, 2011 at 11:18 pm
I have just bought a kindle3 ebook reader,and love it.

Now I'm wondering if anyone knows of any sites I can get free pdf books?

I've been looking,but so far they all want money.

I'm also begging for any people might have lying around. If some kind person or persons have any,please PM me and I'll send you an email address. Tiger

Project Gutenburg.

Also, I torrented a bunch of books. And amazon actually has a section filled with classics that are free, and you can frequently find things for under a dollar.

Borders is going straight out of business right now, but they might still have their ebook site up. They have everything you can think of in the public domain, at least they did. Let me see if I can get a link or if it is even worth trying.

ETA: Here is the free for a limited time link on their site. http://www.borders.com/online/store/Land...mple=false

There is also a link in the upper left hand corner that says something about free classics. Almost all decent classics are in the public domain by now, so they are all free. I'm not sure if this format is compatible with your thingy, but I hope that helps.

Thanks everyone.

A very kind member has sent me some books I wanted.

Have also downloaded the Bible,Qur'an and Hadith for easy reference.

I'm currently looking for "Weaver" by Stephen Baxter

If not, I'm willing to bet I can find some conversion software.
