So I recently got an e-reader and have started collecting e-books for it, but a lot of books seem to only be available through Amazon/Kindle. I don’t want anything to do with that company. Where do I even start looking? I have my local library apps and have scoured Project Gutenberg and some similar sites. While this is great for classics and older stuff, I want newer books too, specifically science fiction and fantasy. Have looked at author’s websites but they typically link to Amazon or physical copies.
Also a friendly reminder to support your local library. Many libraries offer digital and audio books now that you can download! All for free!
Libby/Overdrive for ‘borrowing’ getting ebooks form your local Library. The Internet Archive is another good free source. When they aren’t being attacked by publishers and hackers anyway.
Honorable mention must be made of Anna’s Archive. It’s a little slow, but you can probably download the books faster than you can read them.
When you get tired of trying to pay for it and realise if they don’t want to make it easy for you to purchase then you should pirate it then check out myanonamouse :)
Thanks! I’m interested for sure. I can use this and then donate directly to the authors if that’s possible :)
