Diksia.com - Reading books is one of the best ways to learn new things, expand your horizons, and enjoy your time. But books can be expensive, and not everyone has access to a library or a bookstore.
Fortunately, there are many websites that offer free books online without downloading anything. You can read them on your computer, tablet, phone, or any device with an internet connection.
In this article, I will introduce you to some of the best websites to read books for free online, and explain how they work and what they offer.
Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg1 is the oldest and largest digital library of free books, with over 70,000 titles in various languages and formats.
You can find classics, rare books, and public domain works from different genres and periods. You can read them online in HTML, or download them in EPUB, Kindle, or plain text formats.
You can also browse by author, title, subject, popularity, and more. Project Gutenberg is run by volunteers who digitize and proofread the books, and you can also contribute by donating, reporting errors, or joining the project.
Open Library
Open Library2 is an initiative of the Internet Archive, a non-profit organization that preserves digital content for future generations. Open Library aims to create a web page for every book ever published, and provide access to millions of books for free.
You can read books online through Controlled Digital Lending, which allows you to borrow one copy of a book at a time for a limited period.
You can also download books in various formats, or read them on the virtual Library Explorer, which simulates a physical library. You can also create lists, set reading goals, and edit the catalog.
Google Books
Google Books3 is a service that allows you to search and preview millions of books from libraries and publishers around the world.
You can find books on any topic, from fiction to non-fiction, from academic to popular. You can read free books online in full or in part, depending on the publisher’s permission.
