    I want to find where you can get classical e-books for free. I was thinking that someone here had wrote a thread that gave the address for the free site. If anyone knows where I can get this I would be greatly apprecative (sp). Thanks Jennifer

    Go to www.mobileread.com and get all types of free ebooks formatted for your ereader. You have to sign up but it is free. They have lots of information also.

    you can download kindle for free on your computer, or smartphone. They have many classics for free. I have "Little Women" downloaded on my smartphone, and I have "kindle" downloaded on my computer also-free

    Before you buy your e-reader, check with libraries in your area. Many libraries are starting to have e-books available for checkout, but your e-reader must be compatable with their e-books. For example, our library's e-books can be read on Nook but not Kindle.

    Go to Barnes & Noble's website, they have 100,s of free classical books in .epub which is the standard format that all libraries use. You can download for free the Nook app.
    I use them on my Ipad. I didn't care for the Kindle app as it doesn't allow me to expand on my Ipad, and it doesn't work with my library ebooks unless I go thru each one and convert which is a royal pain.
