How to Get Tons of Free Books

Here is how to get tons of free books if you’re on a budget:

Where to Find Free Paperback Books:

The Library: The library is the first place I check if there’s a particular book I want to read. The only downfall is that there’s usually a waiting list because the books I want to read are usually newer books. There’s been only a couple of occasions when I’m not able to find the book I want.

Friends: Often times friends of mine already own books that I want to read so I tend to ask around first before I buy. Of course, I return the favour if I own a book someone wants to read.

Where to Find Free eBooks:

Noisetrade: Noisetrade features a great selection of ebooks (and audiobooks) for free. I’ve gotten quite a few interesting reads from Noisetrade!

eReaderGirl: Check daily for free ebooks, including PDF’s, NOOK, and Kindle versions.

BookBub: BookBub is fairly new to me. My mom sent me a link to check it out and I signed up! BookBub alerts you to limited-time free and discounted ebooks matching your interests.

The Fussy Librarian – The Fussy Librarian offers two email newsletters catered to your particular interests: Bargain books or free ebooks! Pick one or both, delivered on the days you pick.

Kobo eBookstore: Visit the Kobo store for a list of Free ebooks

While I’m still a fan of paperback books, my love for eBooks has been growing. I purchased a Kindle ereader a few years ago and I’ve been loving it ever since. It’s not easy to carry around hundreds of books at the same time otherwise! 😉 Amazon also has a free app that will allow you to read Kindle books on your computer, smartphone or tablet.

FREE BOOKS WITH FREE SHIPPING THAT AUTHORS WANT TO SEND YOU

Did you ever go to a conference or event and see someone giving something away for free and wonder what was in it for them? Companies do this because they want your business and non-profits do this because they want to raise awareness to an issue.

Authors give away free books for one of these two same reasons as well. While many authors give away digital versions of free books to reduce the cost, the amazing authors and books featured on this page are giving away good, old-fashioned physical books for completely free, and in most cases paying for shipping as well!
