I couldn't quickly find a topic on this (other than the Kindle specific topic), so I thought I'd make one. The idea is listing sites where one can download free legal ebooks (or that show links to them). Such as: Project Gutenberg Amazon.com Free Kindle Books (US + certain other countries) Amazon.co.uk Free Kindle Books (must be UK resident I believe?) KoboBooks Free Bol.com free ebooks Kindle Buffet Open Culture free ebooks (also Open Culture Free Textbooks and Open Culture Free Audiobooks) Mobile Reads Free Ebooks Smashwords Free Ebooks Wikipedia Books Free Ebooks.net Book Boon General Ebooks Ebook 3000 Book Rix Ebook Lobby Ebook Mall SFF PDF

I'm from Bangladesh. No library in the country keeps English books of various genres. Libraries here are fundamentally useless to me. I borrow some from my friends but its not enough. I have to buy every book I want to read. Which is very expensive for me. I'm 18, a student. One can easily guess that I don't come across a lot of money. To top my misery, God has blessed me with poor eye sight. My minus 7.65 glasses don't allow me read a lot of e-books. I get nasty headaches. I don't like digital books anyway. I have to save up and buy books. Though I love owning books, sometimes I feel that its too troublesome. I want to read a lot of books, most of which are unavailable here. I have to order them and that costs me even more. See what I mean?

The Adventures of Travelling Piglet by L.C. Eliot
Deborah posted a topic in Children's / Young Adult
Hi All When looking for new material to read – be it for myself or for my children – I have found myself often starting my search here. So today I thought: it’s time for me to contribute! I recently bought Book 1 of The Adventures of Travelling Piglet, entitled When All You Know Is Where You’re Going, written by L C Eliot. The title stood out for me, not the usual kiddy’s language, and the book cover looks traditional, almost old-style: I was happy to see something stand out from the usual cartoon-style illustrations children literature seems to have adopted so widely. The story itself is absolutely adorable, with a cute little piglet, the main character, setting out to compete in a racing competition, and meeting other friendly characters along his journey. A nice length for children who are confident readers, or helped by parents through some of the more advanced vocabulary; superbly written, an extremely easy read – by which I mean, it is written in such a way that it flows nicely. If you have read it too, let me know what you think, I’m interested to know. I hope this review is as valuable to you, as yours have been to me. Deborah
