One who would pick up anything and everything between the covers, and browse through the content almost anywhere – at home, in cafés, between client meetings, during commutes. Books can be your companions 24x7 now that you have better options than the old-school printed text. Almost every publisher comes up with a digital version of a new title. Old but popular titles have been turned into e-books. And best of all, you get to read many of them for free. It does not matter how you choose to read your book. Your e-book reader, tablet, laptop, smartphone and even an old desktop will be good enough to get you started on your reading journey. Keep reading and find out which companies are offering free e-books to keep you engaged and entertained.
Project Gutenberg: Set up in 1971 by Michael Stern Hart (he was the one who created the first e-book), this is an online platform featuring thousands of free titles. The concept behind it: Easy access to books and easy distribution. As of now, it has a catalogue of more than 60,000 e-books which can be read online or downloaded on your device. The portal claims to have great literature titles and focusses on older works whose U.S. copyrights have expired. You will find books in as many as 50 languages, but most of them are in English, German, French, Italian and Portuguese.
