Read Books Online - For Free!
Digital books are becoming more and more popular. Many are available Wright Library's Digital Collection at the Ohio eBook Project, and because they are from the library, they're free. Although a terrific collection, it is also a limited one for now and often the book you want to read or listen to is not available. Where else can you go for free books? The Internet is full of them!
Other sources of free books online make works of public domain and/or open license available. Check out Online Libraries - 25 Places to Read Free Books Online, one of which is the Internet Public Library's list of resources of Online Texts. Check out these other sources many of which have a variety of literary forms, have both text and audio versions, and in some cases, allow you to download the book.
