Question: Could you tell me where you get free downloadable books!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There is a nice selection of free in copyright e-books here: http://newfreebooks!.com They have been released by their own authors, so they are legal!. Some fine ones there too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, Project Gutenberg has several thousand free public domain books!. Just go to www!.gutenberg!.org!.

Edit: I just noticed your addition to your question!. What you are asking is indeed illegal!. Books by the authors you mentioned are copywritten!. If you download them from a free site, you will be stealing!. That is a felony!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sorry but what you are asking is not legal!.

Christopher Paolini, Phillip Pullman and others are looking to make money with their writing!. They are not authorizing free downloads because then they won't make money!.

So any site that would have their work is an illegal website!. Don't deal with book pirates!. Read legally!. If you don't want to buy the books, read them at the public library where tax dollars have paid for the books and the authors get paid!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Any book still copyrighted available online without express authorization from the author or the publisher, is illegal!. The authors that you mentioned still have their work protected by copyright!.

Some libraries have digital collections, you may want to check yours!.

For anything in the public domain, gutenberg!.org is a great source!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can get some free books at books!.google!.com, but there are only a selection that you can get for free!. They come in PDF formats!. Although not everything is free, it's handy and I've used it before (you can buy the others if need be)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can read the first few pages of diary of a wimpy kid on funbrain!.com for freeWww@QuestionHome@Com
