if you log on to your local library website you will find links to services they are affiliated with. Two of the most common are hoopla and overdrive. there you will be able to download ebooks/audiobooks/music etc.

@ArtieKat I'm a big fan of papyrus (the whole text rolled up into a scroll). It's the precursor of our books, and (I feel) it's the future of how we will read text. I think the concept of a "page" is obsolete. Those ebooks still emulate "real" books (they still have virtual "pages", although those make no sense), and I think that's just an intermediate step, similar to the first automobiles which emulated horse-drawn carriages.

@helenS This is true. I do love studying literature, though, and find editions with introduction and notes very valuable. Besides that, in IT having latest editions of books is very useful and having code in Kindle copies can be useful too, I find 👍 I'd rather have no Amazon tie-in but there wasn't much competition initially, not sure if there is even now.

@SethGreene531 You can also register with your local library to get online books.

@DallasCowboysFan great idea, libraries have really advanced. All those volumes at your fingertips, on demand
I've not been since they only lent out hardcovers and vcr/cassettes and CDs😂

Just Search a title you are interested in and put PDF at the end.
It works most of the time for me.
If you are a member of Amazon Prime, you can often download e-books for free.

I found one really good free site but i lost the link and cant remember the name . Just look online and maybe you will find it. It wasnt gutenberg. It had a lot of modern titles.

For legal ones, librivox has a few, you can also check youtube and download a few through third parties.

Amazon does have a number of free downloads - classics mostly. Google also.
Youd have to use torrents

@TryingtoLava Are torrents still going? I've not downloaded anything like that for about 15 years or more
