Free is for me. I love free books since I love to read. In just a few minutes you can find enough reading material to hold you over for months. The following sites provide you with free reading material that can be viewed online, downloaded to your computer or transfered to the gadget of your liking.
- Google Books - This is a great place to find the classics for free on public domain. All of these books are in PDF format and can be read online, downloaded to your computer or transfered to your e-reader.
- Project Gutenberg - With over 33,000 free e-books to your PC or portable device of your choice Project Gutenberg has what your looking for. If your overwhelmed on where to start check out Project Gutenberg's Top 100 list.
- Storynory - Since it's inception in 2005, Storynory has published an audio book on it's site once a week. Here you'll be able to find children's classics such as The Wizard of Oz and Snow White along with more modern kid friendly books. Perfect for when you need to entertain the kids on the go.

This is a great list! Don't forget that your local library might be connected with a Library2Go where you can get audiobooks and ebooks. :) I check out books often on my eReader through there.
And I LOVE LibriVox!
Thank you so much for this post. This really helps me a lot.
Rather amusing information
The author is really cool. But some of the commentators are just posting stupid words.
— Мужчины такие бесчувственные.— Вранье.— Да? А почему тогда медсестёр больше чем медбратьев?— Потому что женщины чаще доводят мужчин до болезни.
