Free ebooks:

  • USD Ebook Resources
    Not all of the books from these resources can be downloaded. Some of them have to be read online. Also, many journal databases allow you to download files in PDF or other file formats that can be transfered to readers.
  • Project Gutenberg
    This site hosts book in the public domain. Most books are available in a number of formats. The type of ereader you will be using will dictate which format is the best. For most readers you should download the EPUB version but the Kindle has its own file formate available.
  • Google Books
    Not every book is available to download. Some have only a short preview.
  • Google's Ebook Store
    Google's recently opened ebook store. Has support for a variety of file formats for different readers.
  • Feedbooks - Public Domain
    Feedbooks sells ebooks but also hosts a number of titles in the public domain that can be downloaded for free.
