Beware of websites which offer a free PDF download after you have completed 3 surveys or downloaded a special ‘reader app’. These sites attempt to take advantage of your desire for free books and could potentially steal your data or compromise your computer’s security. If a website looks slightly different to normal or the link to download the book is confusing then don’t take the risk – simply close the tab.

I haven’t found a free PDF version of ‘Just the Tip’ but there is a paid ebook and a paperback version available. If the story does interest you then perhaps check out the author’s social media account as they have been known to give away free copies or offer them at reduced price for a limited time. A freebie to read while you can save up for the real version!

I wish there were a legit website that gave free books to parents of young kids going through that phase. Alas, Scholastic is a business, and your only options are to check your local library (physical and e-books) and keep an eye out for sales on Amazon and Book Outlet.
It’s pretty easy to just download the Libby app and sign into your library account (online) and search for the book you want. Then you can either read it online or transfer it to your tablet. I have seen a lot of websites come up in searches that look like they may offer free ebooks. But be careful because there are a lot of ads and even things that could be bad for your computer on these sites. It’s not worth the risk to your computer to avoid going to your library’s website. The legal route is easy enough.

I shall play devils advocate here. I get that people don’t want to pay for entertainment, especially with so much choice available these days. Okay, so a really long, really dense book in a genre that you have not read before would be best to try before buying. Library samples aren’t always long enough to get a proper feel for a really long book. Waiting lists for books in libraries can be very long.
But. That industry that brings you these novels is fragile. Every lost sale is a loss for all of us. Perhaps wait for a sale and set aside a little each week for your novels. It’s not too hard to budget for them and the delay of a few days to purchase a novel will be worth it for the better experience you’ll have with the novel. And that is what you want.

The longevity of access to the material that one has accessed through pirated ebooks is also generally short (it is on your device as a single file, for example). That file does not update if there is a fixed edition subsequently published, nor does it sync with other copies of the ebook that you have accessed (such as through annotation), and thus you will have to search for a copy of the pirated ebook that you had previously accessed in order to re-access it.
Yes, a library loan is only temporary, but completely seamless within the app. A purchased e-book, on the other hand, is yours to keep, stored in your cloud library, and readable on any device that you’re logged into with your account. All of the above ‘methods’ for reading a book provide a reliable, integrated experience – not just a dead file. This service, including your ability to add bookmarks, have updates synced to your device, and be recommended new books, is what you’re paying for with your library taxes and/or the price of the book itself. That service is worth something.

This is so heavy in a good way! Yes, there are digital versions of this book. I listened to it on audiobook first, and then bought the Kindle version so I could have the text as well. Her narration is superb. You can really hear her tired, sarcastic voice when reading the audiobook.
A PDF version of the book is handy for those who don’t have an app to read it on. I prefer to download it in the form of a PDF and then place it in a PDF on my desktop in a folder containing other readings of a similar nature. The computer is transformed into a miniature research library, which is how I feel this serious work of thought should be treated, a document to be studied from a properly created file which one has complete control over.

I see this kind of behavior a lot in the fanfiction world, where people want to download complete stories as PDFs to read offline. But with original, published fiction, the author is not just some hobbyist trying to share their work for fun (as they might with fanfiction); it’s their job to write fiction, and they need to earn a living from it.
Reframe your search terms to look for online versions of "Tough Guy" rather than "free PDF" versions of his work. Many publishers have online partnerships with websites that allow users to read a portion of a work online for free via their browser. For example, you can read a large portion of a work through Google Books Preview, for free. While this won't allow you to download a PDF version of the work to read offline, it's a legitimate way to read a portion of the work to see if you'd like to purchase the entire book. Always choose the most official route to reading first.

First off, the cover probably has an adorable little dog or horse on it as well as a long list of endearing animal sidekicks. But anyway, moving on. There are plenty of fan communities for all sorts of books where fans create their own PDFs of favorite books and share them with other fans. But those are almost always kept within the private walls of a forum or something and even then, it’s generally not distributed. Because it’s copyright infringement. I wouldn’t recommend searching out a way to read a PDF copy of a book via some private fan community. It’s not worth the risk of getting caught (even if you’re only asking for it in a public forum) and it’s not worth going against your morals either. Romance authors are generally a very tight-knit group and are VERY protective of each other’s ability to earn a living. If they even smell pirated copies of their work, they will call you out on it in a heartbeat. Not fun.

For searching for free PDFs of books like ‘All the Dead Lie Down’ (a book I’m currently researching for work with academic resources), I like to check the usual ‘formal channels’ first. This would include checking if the book is available through interlibrary loan systems and on institutional repositories. JSTOR, University Presses and some book chapters are also available for free. Looking up the book’s DOI and/or ISBN number on the publishers’ website or searching the book’s ISBN number on library catalogs also often helps to clarify access rights.
As authors deposit preprints of their work, as well as permitted versions under their publisher’s green open access policy, in repositories such as arXiv,doaj or researchgate, emailing the author directly is surprisingly often granted. This is in addition to sites such as piratebay that host illegal copies of work. Whilst I steer clear of these sites for legal reasons, it is also that one never knows the quality of the illegal copy in terms of integrity of the file. But, given the ethics involved, taking the extra time to find a legitimate copy, which in the end is usually readable anyway, is well worth it.

Looking for free PDFs of manga can be quite of an adventure. I personally would not recommend randomly clicking on links to download “The Classmate” for free. There are way too many scam links and the risk of malware is too high. On the other hand there are many aggregator websites for manga that host fan-made translations of manga, most of which are illegal but often gray.
If you are into physical copies of manga, second-hand bookstores and comic shops may well have copies for sale at low prices. I found a battered copy of ‘The Classmate’ for the modest sum of $3 – it was one of those days!
