Free ebooks for adults

After finishing the post on the LitPick site, I decided I should share a few free ebook sites for adults. Some sites are geared toward one device or another. For most devices, you can download an app that allows you to use either format. For instance, a Kindle app allows you to download Kindle editions on to other devices. One thing NOT to assume is that they only offer bad books. Two of my favorite books -- Driftless by David Rhodes and The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving by Jonathan Evison -- were free. Don't forget to check for free apps too. I've found some really fun free games.

You can always go to the main site for Kindle books or Nook books and search for free books. At the Nook site, just enter "0.00" in the search space for Nook books. When the free books come up, just order them by most recent. Another way to search is to include a word (i.e. 0.00 mystery) and only free mysteries will show up.

Nook Blog -- I started going to the Nook Blog a couple weeks after getting my first Nook.

Free Friday post: A free book and a free app are made available every Friday. Even if you don't care for the book or app that week, check out the list of comments. There are several people who list other free books and they will put them in a comment attached to the post.

Barnes & Noble Book Clubs -- If you scroll down to the Book Discussion section, you'll see "Book Discussions". The latest post will be listed and many days it will be about a free book available that day.

BookBub -- This is a fun site and I always look forward to receiving my daily email. You can look through the free books or special deals or you can wait for your email to come through listing your deals of the day. Once again, you have to be prepared to download different formats.

Project Gutenberg -- Seems like the original free book site. You can download almost any classic book. Just go to the site and start searching.

Google Books -- I've found some interesting old genealogy books online at Google Books. You can set up a library and search for free books. When you find something interesting, download it to your library. They also have classics available.
