Introduction
This is a listing of 446 sites that legally offer free books (eBooks) for download or for online
viewing.
Some time ago I 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. Originally, the list was for 50 sites (hence that number in the link) and I thought that
was a lot. I expect that this list will cross 500 sites in the near future. Given the large listing,
you may want to check out the various Genre pages that I have put together.
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 through the
comments below.
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 listing here is in alphabetical order. Given the size of this list now, it may be easier to search
by genre. I have set up 17 pages here of different genres. If you do not see one that covers your
interests, let me know and I may be able to put one together.
I have also put together a listing of sites that offer free and legal audio books at
91 Places For Free Audio Books Online
These listings may be searched in the following methods:
Alphabetical Listing - A listing of the site names in alphabetical order
Listing by Genre - Links to pages here for different book genres (17)

2. Online Local Libraries -These sites have links to local libraries which have much
content for members

audiobooks, and music downloads to their customers for free, I did some checking and found
that there are a large amount of offerings available through online libraries. It appears most, if
not all, require a local library card. These are sites that have links to local library sites.
LibWeb is a good search source for local libraries online. A good selection of US and
worldwide locations.
Public Libraries very good for US, looked not as thorough as LibWeb on worldwide.
Internet Public Library also has some links, but I found the above two to be superior set ups.
Genre Pages
Because this page is becoming extremely long I have switched the genre sections to their own
pages. Please check these separate pages out if you are interested in a particular genre as they
have some links that have not been added to this main list as of yet and they also have links to
audio books.
