    If you can find these (I think they are on manybooks.net and on e-books):. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • Kindle and a Library Card
    Https://manybooks.net is the only one which needs a free sign up- it has lots of older books, but some modern stuff too. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • Libby
    ManyBooks is another decent site (a lot of it is public domain, but they do have more recent stuff too). - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
  • Trying to find the cheap/cheaper services post
    Yes, I know there are ways to get to the illegal stuff but not everyone's cool with that, probably including the mods. * Internet Archive - Free Movies | Free Audiobooks | Free Music | Free Podcasts | Free software & games * Books - InternetArchive | ManyBooks | Project Gutenberg | FreeBooksy | Libby - an app to borrow books from your library - suggested by u/Crafty_Passenger1979 | BorrowBox - another library app... - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
  • Project Gutenberg – Library of over 60k free eBooks
    Such a remarkable and useful project. I had to look this up in Wikipedia; it was started in 1971 (!) by Michael S. Hart. They've never done much for aesthetics or curation. I like https://manybooks.net/ as an alternative. It's mostly Gutenberg sources (with credit) but the site and epub downloads are nicely designed. Although they've gotten pretty spammy. If Sci-Hub is more your speed then Z-Library has 10 million... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
    The versions on gutenberg or manybooks.net should be unabridged. I'm not entirely sure which version the amazon link in OP is though. It should be something like 1400 pages depending on formatting. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago
  • Open libraries
    Https://manybooks.net is also free and legal; it has some modern stuff, but they're less known, maybe self published. But it also has lots of early 20thC fiction; you need to sign up tho. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Anyone here that reads books primarily on a Desktop PC/Laptop monitor?
    There is a Kindle app for PC, Project Gutenberg just needs a browser and https://manybooks.net is another site you can read in some different computer friendly formats. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Book 2 of the Dragon Mage Saga out now, and Book 1 Free!
    “A fantasy RPG come to life, Overworld is a particularly fun and readable adventure...” —manybooks.net. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Mystery/thriller for a sensitive soul
    A set of short stories that you might like will take you back even farther. Mystery Stories of Violet Strange by Anna Katherine Green follow a young debutant of the upper crust in New York who works within her own social set to unravel mysteries. Some have to do with death; (notice I said death-not murder); but many are other types of puzzles for her to unwind; all of which help unfortunate people in difficult... - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Looking for a book to learn english
    Hi there! It's great to see young language learners interested in reading. English is my second language, too, and I also started reading English books when I was around your age. Now I'm studying English at university to become an English teacher. Keep it up and I'm sure you'll be speaking English like a native speaker very soon! :) I want to show you this website: https://manybooks.net/. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • I hate summer vacation
    For books I know u can find free PDFs there's sites like https://manybooks.net/ I never used it but my friend does. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • What cheap hobbies do you have that don't involve a screen (phone/computer)?
    Https://manybooks.net/ mix of project gutenberg and open library, they have a lot of different file formats though, so great if you're looking to download to something unconventional. - Source: Reddit / about 2 years ago
  • Ebook stores in New Zealand
    To answer your "where to buy Kindle books" question: Probably not typical for r/nz but we just love our public domain books! I'm always on the lookout for publication dates up to 1924 (a little more complicated than that but a good rule of thumb). Other than the most obscure, most are available online to download as mobi files from various sites like gutenberg.org and manybooks.net. From there you email them to... - Source: Reddit / about 2 years ago
