Free ebooks & ereaders

So, you’re curious about what it’s like reading a book online, but you’re not willing to go to the expense of buying a Kindle or Nook?

Or maybe you’re new to owning an ereader, and you’re looking for some new, cheap reads?

Here are a few links to get you started, either way:

    Free Kindle, Nook, and iBooks apps, so you don’t have to shell out for technology if you’re not ready: 

Free reads from your public library, for your ereader (yes, really!). Ask your librarian if they are on board.

Ways to borrow for free, or low cost, separate of the library system, which can be limiting:

Ebook lending is becoming more and more pervasive, so if you want to read on the cheap or free, there are ways to do that legally.  You may come across pirating torrents in your search for free ebooks, but is it worth the risk of downloading viruses, not to mention ripping off someone who may have put years into writing that book? Right now there is also a rash of readers who finish a book & return it for a refund. This is dishonest, unfair to the author, and frankly demoralizing. If you would not return a paperback to the store please do not return an ebook for a refund “just because you can.” Use honest channels and show your support for the writers who work so hard to create the stories you enjoy.

Hopefully the above links will help you on your new ereading odyssey!
