Everybody loves free, and you can download your selections from two million PDF e-books for free until August 4th.
The World eBook Fair makes it easy to find and download free e-books. The event is sponsored by Project Gutenberg, World Public Library, DPP Store, Baen Books, Ask.com, Internet Archive, MobileBooks, and MyeBook.
Now is a great time to stock up on free reading material.

Jimson,
Hope you find some great reading!
I reallly like that project, very nice and large amount of free eBooks… 2 Mio. Books… this will cost me lot of time looking for books…
Thanks for the link
Didi,
Time looking for—and reading—free books is time well spent.
Yeah, I am one of those who loves “free”. This is my chance to download a lot of free reading material. Thanks for the news.
Peter,
Don’t we all love free? Enjoy the great books you find.
It looks like you left two comments, probably thinking the first didn’t go through. For some reason, they both went into moderation even though I’ve previously approved a comment. Not sure why … Anyway, I deleted the second comment.
This is nice – most ebook sites are ridiculous to navigate. This one doesn’t look so bad though.
RW,
I think the site is pretty user-friendly.
That is so fantastic that you can download these free e-books! I will definitely be taking advantage of this and passing that information on, so thank you Project Guttenberg.
C,
You can always download free books from Project Gutenberg, but this is an extension with other free e-books as well. I have a page in my Resources section that lists places to find free e-books.
Thanks for that info, I appreciate it!
You’re welcome.
Thanks Lillie for the resource. Will all that books though, it might take me a little while to find the one to read first. LOL
Terry,
I know what you mean. I have a bunch of books on my Kindle already and a whole bunch more to download. If I could read all the time, I’d never read everything I wanted to.
WoW, I bet no one will ever resist the free ebooks, Lillie! Thanks for sharing this great information with us, I’m going to check it out right now…

Yes, there are a lot of free e-books online, but I buy a lot of e-books also.

Cheers!
Jack,
Glad you found something of value to you. I used to listen to books after I had a stroke before I recovered enough to see to read. I don’t listen any more, but it was a tremendous blessing to have audio books then.
How cool is this! Free ebooks.
(This is my first time to do the YourKeywords thingy. We’ll see if I did it right)

As being a car dealer i always search for the articles which are related to the cars & in the Ebook fair i got the right one for me & it was all about the selling of the famous cars so i just downloaded it & now i am very well got the answers for my questions coming to my mind thanks for it!
cacholog,
It’s great to hear that you found a great book for you.
For me reading+free books is time well spent.
Rotem,
I agree: free books and reading are wonderful.
Hi Lillie
for me, reading is everything, i love to read(having hard time with my son about his reading habits)and when its free its more enjoyable.
rotem,
I can’t imagine not reading—either not being able to or not wanting to. After I had a stroke, I couldn’t see well enough to read for a long time. That was when I discovered audio books. But now I’m reading again electronically where I can set the font large enough to read. So free e-books are especially good for me.
Glad to hear that you feel better now.
Keep up with the good work for us and specifically for your family. wish you the best.
Thank you, rotem.
Free books are wonderful,Thanks for the link.
oren,
Free is good, and books are good. Put them together and it’s great.
wow that’s a lot of ebooks for free!

There is no such thing as too many books, especially free.
Its an good deal anyone knows is there any download limit…

Blues (if you wrote Your Name@Blues, I could address you as a real person instead of a musical genre, and you would still get your keyword link),
To the best of my knowledge, there is no download limit. There are several sites involved in the project, and their goal is to encourage people to read e-books.
I think the world ebook fair shows how the interest in ebooks has increased and how it is overtaking tradional books. I love ebooks and love the world ebook fair.

Dave,
The fair has happened for several years, but you’re right that e-books are a growing segment (the fastest growing, I’m pretty sure) of the publishing industry.
Always nice to get something for free….I wonder how they get around the copyright laws? but its always nice to come across sites like these
Justin,
All the books are either in the public domain or the authors have granted permission for them to be given away free. These are legitimate, honest sites that respect and honor copyright.
I am a big fan of public domain books. It has also been a long time since I ever read anything. This would be the best time to gather reading materials for the holiday season.

Patrik,
Now is the time to stock up. I read several books a week, and I have enough books lined up to last for months … and I still get more.
Hi Lillie,
I think I come late here.I really missed the good opportunity.I really want to install some ebooks.
Thanks for sharing.
Aditya,
You missed the World eBook Fair, but there are still many free e-books available. Check out my e-book page at http://lillieammann.com/resources/e-books/ for links to free e-books.
Hi Lillie,

aditya,
You’re welcome. I hope you enjoy reading some of the free books.

jim,
The fair has ended but there are still lots of free e-books available.
As a family we read so much, my wife into novels, my father history, but me, I am a more technical kind of guy. Whatever or whoever you are the power of reading is immense, what a great resource, and very popular, excellent.

andy,
I’m glad to hear yours is a reading family. The statistics on how few people do read are discouraging.
