Who can argue with Free? If you are not familiar with the concept of free downloadable books, I thought you’d appreciate knowing that there are scores, perhaps hundreds, of websites where you can download free ebooks. I mean, really and truly for free. The scope of information and genres is, well, endless. While I’m only presenting seven, to get you started, for a list of 50 sites, click on the photo.
You can also upload and share any books, documents, reports, poems, etc. that you have created. I’d love to hear your experience with downloading or uploading free ebooks, and other resources you would like to share.
In addition to these seven sites, I have included, below, a lovely bit of prose about autumn (both the season and the time in our lives) from one of my favorite sites, Scribd.
