For free Asian web novels, translation quality reads a million times better than garbage. High-quality translations of original works of fiction (even “free” ones like those found on Wuxiaworld or Volare, for instance) far outstrip heaps of locally-hosted “aggregated” copy—all “translated” via some half-baked program of semi-automated re-pulsing via interpolation of works from paying translation groups. Take the time to click on to the original translators and their providers—huge differences between extremely readable original translated chapters and mangled stuff “summarized” for your reading “convenience” by web novel “aggregators”.

There are times when the simplest thing to do is to admit ignorance and ask for help. If for whatever reason you can’t get to grips with your local library’s digital system, just go into a branch, or ring them, and say something like, ‘I want to read ‘Dork Diaries’ as an ebook. Can you tell me how to do that for free as a library member?’. librarians live for questions like that. They will set up a library card for you, help you to download an appropriate app, and then you can make your first ‘borrow’. It’s all part of their job and they’re extremely good at it. Human assistance can be the answer to a mass of confusion found on dodgy looking websites, helping you to access what you want legally and safely, and the best part is, it’s free, and it’s a great life hack.

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.

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?

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.

There are lots of free websites where you can read books online without signing up to a website first. For classic books that are no longer copyrighted there’s the wonderful Project Gutenberg (long established) and ManyBooks (my current favorite with a great variety of free books of many different types in different formats too). For free audiobooks there’s Librivox, which features free public domain audiobooks for download, all of them read by volunteers.
On the other hand, Open Library allows users to borrow digital books, many of which can be checked out by users without an account. Additionally, Classic Shorts offers short stories and essays that users can instantly read online for free without having to sign up for anything.

The academia lit lover may find academic and literary novels released as open access by the publisher, including works supported by public funds. These are often released as PDFs directly off a publisher or author’s website. Unlike typical fiction released as open access, these titles are not promoted in the same way and thus are hidden from the general public. Yet, dense, award-winning literary fiction of the highest academic status is released for free. Unlike the numerous free titles on Amazon, these are released slowly and of high prestige.

For long legal free reads you can look to websites like Project Gutenberg for the classics and then the official websites of many publishers as well as apps and websites like Wattpad or Webnovel which have huge quantities of free content that is usually supported by advertising or that is offered as free to read. It depends on what sort of genre you are looking for. For example on some of the platforms mentioned previously you can read ‘SINFUL PLEASURES: Short Flithy Stories’. It is a free read and is made up of short stories of a provocative nature, each story can be read in just a few chapters, perfect for short bursts of engrossing reading without a long term commitment.

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.
