I thought someone would already have gone over the K Manga points system in depth, but since they haven’t I will go ahead and sum it up for you. At its core the points system is simple: you purchase points and spend them to permanently add chapters to your library. The cost of new chapters typically runs about 69 points (or 69 cents), but you can purchase points in bulk to get the most out of your money. The only other option that they have available is the ‘Fast Pass’ which allows you to read ahead of regular releases. I’ll note that while the app is functional, it is not as polished as Shonen Jump’s. However, for people who read a lot of Kodansha Manga, it can get expensive quickly. However, for people who follow only a couple of titles, it can be pretty affordable.

Since free e-books, online and offline, are tricky to find (even if they are legally offered) I would start by looking for the free novel in your local library’s ebook collection. You can also put a hold on it and most libraries actually listen to their patrons’ suggestions. Another option to find free e-books is BookBub, but most of the time the free books are not well known. Still worth a look though.

I have checked a few of my normal haunts for this and it seems Yonder have it locked down tight. The best way to read this as a legal download would be to sign up for their in-app model and purchase a daily pass to read it. All other claims to download the full novel as a cheaper option are scams. The story is very hot right now, with two possessive twin anti-heroes, so I’d recommend signing up for the app for a bargainous binge read.

This link will take you to the page where you can check if the book you’re looking for is available in read form on major aggregator sites of fan translations (in some cases the official English version may not be complete yet). I just finished reading The Delta's Daughter - Book 1 on a free app for my phone and this book is an excellent arranged marriage fantasy. The author did a great job with this book and the whole first book is available for free without any paywalls.

Just buy it! Usually priced under $5 for the e-book on Amazon or Google Books, supporting the author’s estate (or whoever is holding the rights to the work at the current time) helps to ensure that work of this rare niche genre will stay in print. Yes, I understand the appeal of reading for free but for so little cost to you for the e-book, it’s worth it. The book itself is pretty straightforward and quite fun to read as a work of horror – far from satirical as the film would have you believe. It’s more personal, more brutal. Reading it online without all of the ads (some of which are quite nasty) and the risk of downloading malware from questionable websites is by itself well worth the couple of coffees that the e-book will cost you. Support your favorite genre by buying this work. (If you can’t afford to buy it, then by all means check it out from your local library — they’ve already paid for the license to this work.)

For older kids’ books, I find that free reads are a bit of a gamble. It’s usually best to check out your local library’s ebook option – you’d be surprised at what they carry. Alternately, there are plenty of affordable used books on online store frontages. Humorous and warm, this is the sort of book you’ll want to keep on your shelf, and supporting an author to write more stories about fictional people is worth the odd few dollars.

Of course, there’s a lot of fun in comparing book to show. But unlike the very faithful first season of television, there are large and soon increasing deviations from the original text as the season goes on. To do this sort of comparison, you’d really need to read the whole, unedited text – something that a free sample would not be able to give you past the introductory setup.
The free sample is like the pilot episode of a show. If you like the pilot, you can then subscribe to the channel to watch the rest of the episodes. There is no way to stream an entire TV show for free on its official network (unless you have a subscription). Bookstores work in much the same way as TV networks – the free sample is your free trial, and then you go to the library or buy the book as a subscriber.

I’m having a lot of trouble finding free e-book copies of classic children’s books. Right now, I’m searching for free e-book copies of The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary, which was first published in 1965. While I’d love to have free e-books, there are many important issues surrounding accessibility to e-books as well as the fair compensation of authors and illustrators.
I should probably also list out some legit sources of free e-books, which is what the question seems to be asking for. Many public libraries offer free digital borrowing of e-books to library card holders. I've gotten to re-read many of my childhood favorites (including all of the books in the ‘Ramona’ series by Beverly Cleary) through Libby (for e-books) and Hoopla (for e-books, audiobooks, and documentaries, among other things). Project Gutenberg is another source of free e-books, many of which are older and hence no longer under copyright. (However, it’s always good to check the copyright status of a particular book first, on a site like Open Library, which often has not only e-book versions but also print versions of books — and can give you some sense of how a particular book has been made available for free in the past).
There are many sites that illegally offer full versions of works of literature online. These should be avoided, not only because they are often in violation of copyright, but also because they can often contain malware that can harm your computer. I would recommend checking out used bookstores. For example, I recently found a copy of The Mouse and the Motorcycle for three dollars at a used bookstore. The book was old and in rough shape, but it was very fun to read. It was nice to be able to read Ralph’s motorcycle-driven adventures on actual paper, with the classic illustrations of Garth Williams. The search for the book can be half the fun of reading it.

We're doing that book for my book club next month and I'm freaking out because 7 copies is a lot. 2 of us are just buying it, 3 people are on waitlists at different libraries, 1 is using an Audible credit to listen to it and sharing her listening time with everyone, and 1 is kind of waiting to see when her sister finishes reading the physical copy and can mail it to her.
So if you’re in a reading group, plan ahead and figure out how to get the book for your members well in advance of your meeting. Coordinate with each other. Maybe one of you can get the audiobook and the rest of you can listen at your leisure. Sometimes local bookstores will even offer a discount on bulk purchases of a new release if you ask nicely.

I could also check to see if Scribd has Pale Blue Dot. (Scribd is a subscription-based service where you can read or listen to books, and it’s often included with membership.) Their catalog is massive and often overlooked. The audio player is perfectly fine, and you can switch back and forth between devices as needed. It’s another option, in addition to your library’s digital collection, for the voracious reader or listener who doesn’t need to own every single title. For a one-off book like Pale Blue Dot, a one-month subscription to Scribd would likely cost less than buying the audiobook and would allow you to also read and/or listen to similar books. Sometimes Scribd even offers a free month.
