eBooks

Ebooks can be purchased from places like Amazon or Google, but there are also places that offer thousands of books for free online. Often these books are out of print or classical literature; but that doesn't mean they aren't awesome to read. These can be downloaded on to a computer, put onto a special device (like the Kindle or iPad) or read on a smart phone.

> All of the ebooks can be freely downloaded: Choose between ePub, Kindle, HTML and simple text formats.
