My last thought for the day concerns discoverability vs. deprivation. I do think that piracy often serves as a discovery model for authors – allowing readers to ‘try before they buy’. However, very quickly it can devolve into depravation – people consuming media without ever contributing to the author’s earnings in any way. This ‘discovery’ model needs to transition into ‘supporting this author’. So you used that free PDF to ‘try’ an author – great! Now support them if you like their work. Buy their next book, pre-order it, get it from the library (since they paid the license for you), spread the word online… discover an author via the free sample, then become a paying reader for subsequent work by that author. That’s a sustainable relationship for the stories you love.

While there are limited legal means to download free light novels, many official publishers as well as J-Novel Club offer free preview chapters and even ad-supported reading. For free web novels, there are numerous platforms that host thousands of ongoing stories. For example, the series ‘Forbidden Taboos : Steamy dark stories’ is entirely available for free reading on one of the major web novel platforms as a direct serialization of the dark romance tales with complex moral characters. You can read it all for free in your browser without looking for downloads.

When we say “safest,” we have to consider a number of factors, including ads and the possibility of malware and data mining. Large and reputable platforms with a strong content policy are typically the safest bet. Amazon’s Kindle app with free books from Prime Reading or the Kindle Store’s free section is a very safe “website.” Archive of Our Own (AO3) is also very safe. It has no ads, because it’s a nonprofit supported by donations. The site is well-maintained, and the reading experience is very clean and beautiful. It takes some time to get the hang of the tagging system, but it is well worth it.
Sites claiming to have the “latest updates” of the latest webnovels can usually be summed up by one word: pirate. And these sites run on the most obnoxious of ad networks. Read webnovels safely on the publisher’s site for now. (They may have free unlock dates or so, and updates may be a bit late, but translated safely to your device.) As with reading in general, safely protecting your computer or reading device and personal info is part of the reading experience.

The Poetry Foundation is an absolute dream for poetry enthusiasts, with a huge online archive of poems to read, search by poet, subject or even mood. Beautifully designed, the site encourages plenty of browsing and is likely to reveal many unexpected treasures. You can easily move from classic sonnets by established poets to brand new award-winning poems by contemporary writers, plus there’s scope for audio and critical essays as well as the poems themselves. A really deep, rich and entirely free resource, held solely for the love of poetry. I find it a calm, peaceful ‘reading space’ of a rather different sort to my normal reading habitat.

Wikipedia can surprise you as a gateway. Researching a classic author or classic novel often in the sidebar or at the bottom of a Wikipedia article about them you can find a link to a free ebook version on websites such as Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive. These sources are not primary sources, but very useful to confirm whether a work is in the public domain or not and to get directly linked to the free online version. A while ago I randomly remembered a very obscure novel and wanted to read it from time to time. Using Wikipedia I found the free online version within minutes.

For my own part, I’ll stick to following copyright on modern bestsellers, and avoid free e-books offered on rogue websites with pop-up ads and the potential for malware. Sites that offer free e-books, such as modern bestsellers, may be offered through library websites, Project Gutenberg, publisher giveaways, and an author’s own website. While these sites may require a bit of extra searching, and possibly a library card, there is much to be said for experiencing e-books through legitimate channels – it’s a much safer reading experience and actually supports the reading ecosystem. Illegal sites have dreadful formatting and sometimes even lack key chapters, leading to a really frustrating reading experience. Why not take the time to search out a free and legal e-book instead, and have a nice reading stroll in the park, rather than taking a risk and going down a dark alley?

My skepticism here is probably best expressed by saying that there are very few high quality websites that have the very latest free PDF versions of the major medical textbooks. And, by definition, these sites are either operating in some kind of legal gray area or else violating the copyright holders' rights. Often the domain changes frequently, it's chock full of ads, and the files themselves may be corrupted.
This brings me to the issue of advocating for and supporting open access publishing in medicine. Until that time, we’re stuck with work-arounds. Right now, for me, this means using my library, buying second-hand editions of older textbooks, and reading great review articles published in free online journals such as the BMJ and PLOS. A single good review article will usually contain the equivalent of one textbook chapter and provide lots of references to read more on the subject.

I find PDF versions of manga through a variety of means. For a start, many of the older manga are now public domain, and can be found on Project Gutenberg. You can find more modern manga as one-shots by searching for the title plus ‘filetype:pdf’ on Google. Some of the online manga readers now have download buttons, although the quality can be patchy – I tend to use MangaFox (now known as FanFox) for this. HakuNeko is also useful for downloading batches of manga and then converting them to PDF. There is also a community of manga fans on the r/manga sub-reddit on Reddit, and sometimes people will share links to Dropbox folders containing PDFs of manga. As always, be careful to scan any downloaded content for malware. I tend to avoid any sites that look like they haven’t been updated since 2005 as they are likely to contain malware.

No, you can only get a sample or first chapter for a book like this from most ebook stores. You can then buy the book or get it from a library. Any site offering a free PDF of this book is likely to be pretty sketchy and illegal, so just buy the book.
