Free e-books and newspapers for your Kindle, iRiver, Sony Reader, iPad etc.

Thought that it would be a good idea to keep all these in one place, instead of having to trawl through pages of other threads to pick them out.
Now the Grand-daddy of all free book sites is:
http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

It has books in a large number of languages. They are classics, out of copyright, and you can choose from a number of different formats to download. The disadvantage of Gutenberg is that it gives daft filenames to the books. They're fine on your actual device, but on your computer they are called things like: pg11042.
Free or cheap book sites:
These are sites that I have browsed or other have suggested. It is a longer list than the original one I produced many months ago. I give no guarantees for any of them, although I have e-mailed the chap who runs ManyBooks - he seems a nice fellow, does it for free, as a sort of hobby.
WARNING: you must check the legality of any books you choose to download. It will depend where you are - US and UK copyright laws are different, although I doubt if Virgin Atlantic will seize your Reader just off NY and tell you that you are out of copyright.
REMEMBER: get the right format for your Reader.

The newspapers have been saying that since e-books came out, the number of Mills&Boon/Harlequin type books sold has soared. They reckon that people feel happier about reading them on a Kindle etc as the daft covers are hidden.
So if you fancy some really light reading, Harlequin are currently (3/1/11) letting you download 15 books for free. I suggest that you get them now while they are on offer - you never know when flu might strike and then one of these might be just the ticket.
EPUB for Sony and iPad; Mobipocket for Kindle.

Look forward to seeing you!

 

Thank you, Theo, for this. Very helpful.

 

I have just downloaded a book from Guttenburg - and opened it in my 'Kindle for PC'. How do I get it onto the real Kindle? [it hasnt' shown up on the menu there]

 

Open up Windows Explorer with kindle plugged in. On Kindle open the Documents folder. Drag the file over to that.

Done!

Thanks. I had forgotten that I could plug the device into my pc.

 

Theo, thank you so much for all of those links - wonderful!

 

I've just acquired a sony pocket e-reader and tried to buy from their ebook store using an American address (a real one belonging to an email pen pal) but the software figured out that my credit card wasn't American and refused the sale. Very smart!
However, thanks for all these sites.

 

I have used a cousin in US to buy for me - he paid with his card then charged me.
But it has to be someone who trusts you!

 

Here's a whole long, long, LONG, list of Kindle books that are free today from Amazon - but may not be when you look at this in a few days' or weeks' time - so be careful and check what it says before you click to buy.
Some look most extraordinary . . . But each to his or her own taste!

Happy Kindling!

They are almost all romances
It would be ok if they had a comedy element to them but they're just like mills&boon.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time and trouble to find the list of freebies

 

Well. . . . I did warn you!
Actually they are not ALL romances or M&B . . . there are some non-fiction ones there that provide interesting reading.
The Future of Learning Institutions in a Digital Age (John D. and Catherine T. MacArthu...The interesting thing, going baCK to that link, is that there are some new ones added. This would seem to suggest that the link is live and updated, so you'll always get the actual Today's Freebies. ____________________________________________________________TheoGriff.

The M&B or erotica titles are usually easy to spot, because of the covers. I find the Christian ones more irritating. You can't always tell that they have a strong message, just by reading the blurb - often I'm about to download a book, and then remember to check the reviews, which generally contain a warning for those who don't want a religious message in the novel they're trying to read.

 

I'll say it again - I did warn you!
Sorry I didn't download that one - there can be a certain sort of perberse pleasure in reading a Really Awful Book.
Mr and Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Best wishes

I have my 'Pending' folder on the Kindle where I store the downloaded freebies. I check the list regularly and 'buy' any that seem of vague interest. The delete function on the Kindle is a useful tool!
The Christian M&B books may not be to everyone's taste - I wouldn't enjoy them (although I do read Christian literature - classics such as Ben Hur and Quo Vadis are on my Kindle...and I have a passion for Children's Evangelical Stories)....however, dare I admit this - I have two close relatives who love that sort of fiction. And they keep trying to pass them on to me! One of these relatives is a teacher with an MA - and this is her chosen form of relaxation fiction. It takes all sorts!

I have just ordered a kindle (yay!!) so this thread will be incredibly useful when it arrives - thanks!

 

A new Kindler - join the Happy Kindlers Group!
The jungle search is just great, great.
OK, you can get the classics for free, but there are times when sitting down with some light reading is what you need.
As long as you are quick off the mark, you can often get really good books from their links. Quick, because Amazon often puts the price back up after a few hours.
Best wishes
