I'm subscribed to newsletters sent out by several publishing houses and sometimes they include link to free ebooks in the newsletter. Today I received one such email, offering mostly first books in a series. Baen Books has been doing that for years, I believe, and the reasoning is that, if you offer the first book for free, readers might like it enough to buy the other books in a series.

Here's a link for you: Suvudu Free Library. It has a couple of Star Wars books, [info]kayim will probably be interested in those.

It's a very sound reasoning, except when you live where I live. I can't even begin to describe the trouble you go through if you want to buy something online, and you don't have a credit card, or your credit card is not one of the supported ones. If the seller doesn't accept any other form of payment, you're stuck with asking friends with an appropriate credit card to do some shopping for you, and you'll cover the expenses. But that gets old pretty quickly, and you run out of friends to ask. Meh.

[Maybe it's a good thing, I don't know, cause I'd probably spend all my pay on books. :) ]

This one offers books from the 30 onwards, with some of the books written as late as 2008. It's called Feedbooks, and it has a range of genres, from adventure, crime/mystery, through history, science fiction, to westerns and YA books.

You can view books sorted by Author, Subject, Top download or Recommended, or you can search for a specific book. There is also a "Recently added" section.

All of these are legal, either offered freely by the authors, or books whose copyright has expired.
