How many times have you read free e-books on your Kindle? Always? Most of the time? Sometimes? Rarely? Does the fact that the book is free, make reading more enjoyable? Yes? Not? Maybe?
As I'm looking for different sources of grace libraries of e-books, I conclude that each single source for e-books free does have some drawbacks. In addition to Project Gutenberg and ManyBooks.net (the majority of its books from Gutenberg), all libraries of free e-book are highly marketed. It really depends on how a site owner decides to go – whether infest a catalogue book pages with ads. create membership fees highly damaging choices of free membership; or even insert ad pages in "free" e-books.
Of course, is understandable. There's absolutely no profit for owners of those sites you invest your time in the production of high quality e-books free of charge. Thus, the theme of free e-books is just a way for many lead users to the site. And the ads are their real products. I see so many fake free e-book sites without real content – it is starting to get on my nerves. It seems that all domain names with "free e-books" are taken for these exact purposes. To find a site with ads, but containing real e-books, I go through ten fake.
I mean, really, huge Kudos to Gutenberg to do what they are doing. And if you're feeling generous, I invite you to make a donation to Project Gutenberg to keep them alive. Is tax-deductible.
Another problem with the free e-books is that, of course, they are poorly edited. Even Amazon content undergoes quality freebies: how some people noticed that most books Amazon Kindle free editing errors (such as missing passages). In addition, my beloved Gutenberg e-books are not all perfectly formatted.
You realize when a book is edited evil? He bothers you?
