To provide books, and information in the form of ebooks at one
site. There are books and information scattered all over the
internet. There are directories which provide links to other
sites where one may download, but my mission is to find them, and
provide one download site.
Most of these books will be in .pdf format, which is the most
universal, and easiest to read. To view these, you will need
the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you may download for free here.
I will also consider some ebooks that come in .exe format,
though they are a lesser preferred version.. Although all
files have been scanned by my antivirus, I strongly urge you to re-scan
all downloads, from here or any other site, with your own antivirus
software.
I will not provide
any pornography, instructions on how to make bombs, or any such
objectionable materials here. So if you are looking for this,
please look elsewhere! I will also not provide ebooks which
are nothing but blatant advertisements for you to buy other products,
unless there is good information in the ebook, in which case, the
decision to make a purchase to obtain more information is your own.
Most ebooks have a website link in them, which I will not
remove, as it might be a site you'd be interested in if you enjoy the
material in the ebook. So the "blatant" advertisement label
might, at times, be a fine line.
Work
I am combing the
internet daily, looking for ebooks to provide. This includes
classics by well-known authors, as well as little known ebooks by
relatively unknown authors. No, unfortunately, you won't find
the latest books published by publishing houses, you still have to go
to the store to buy those :-). Now it does take some time to
find these books, download them, get permission from the author where
necessary, and prepare them. For example, many of the books
in the public domain, I receive in text format. When this
happens, I have to copy into a word processor, and line by line, remove
the carriage returns, then add spaces. Sometime, I even have
to add carriage returns to put back empty lines between the paragraphs.
Then I have to convert the book into .pdf format.
This process literally takes hours for even one book.
As this is still a one person show, please be patient....!!
I am willing to take requests. For example, if a
student needs to find a book for a class, and it is in the public
domain, I will be glad to see if I can find it and get it up on this
site. The convenience? You won't have to waste any
gas going to the library to get it (or return it), and you won't have
to spend any money buying it. Simply download it for free (if
it's in the public domain), and when it serves it's purpose, simply
delete it without guilt. Please send reqests to webmaster@free-ebooklibrary.com.
Public Domain
A word about
Public Domain.
In short, these are books whose copyright has run out.
Therefore, nobody "owns" the rights to them. I will
be
providing most of them here for free. Some people DO charge
for them.
I feel that that is fair as long as it is a minimal amount,
because (as stated above) there IS work involved in getting them put
together for you, as well as the costs and work involved in maintaining
a website. The reason I am providing most of them for free,
is that I
recognize that not everybody is in the middle to upper class income
range of our society, and I'd like those who can't afford to pay, to be
able to have access to them as well. I
have added
a "donate" button to the bottom of this website, and rely on those
people who are able,
and who have the heart, to donate a few dollars if they find this site
helpful.
Also, please note that while some public domain books refer to
illustrations, they may not be present, and that is how I find and
receive them.
Bookstore
Yes, there will be
an ebookstore. There are several reasons for this.
One
is that there are many books that I actually pay to be able to provide
here. These ebooks will be provided at a minimum cost to you.
The second is that this site does cost money, and it will
help defray all the costs associated with this site. Thirdly, the
licenses that I get with some of these books prohibit me from giving
them away, so the next best thing is to offer them far below Suggested
Retail Price. Lastly,
there is some material that I do not feel should be made freely
available to minors. Also, as
previously mentioned, this is incredibly time consuming for me.
There is now a
small number of
books available in the EBookstore. Again, this will be added
to a
little bit at a time! Before buying on Ebay, or before buying
elsewhere, check here first! You may be able to obtain it
FREE at
the Free
EBook Library, or cheaper at the EBookstore!
All books are currently priced between $0.99 and $3.99 only!
Calling all authors!!
Are you an
aspiring author? Would you like a forum in which to publish
your works, short or long? Then send in a manuscript for
consideration to submissions@free-ebooklibrary.com,
and I will consider putting it up on this site. If you're
looking
to get "published" and get your work "out there", I'm looking for fresh
content: Who knows,
you may be able to generate an income via sales on this site.
We
are currently getting visitors from over 7 different countries
worldwide!A
Acceptable formats will be: Microsoft Word, .pdf,
or plain text (least preferred due to all the work involved in
converting to .pdf.)
Ok, enough with all
this.........let's get to the free
ebooks!!

Free MP3's -- NEW!!
And FINALLY, we
get to the "and More!" part of the Free
Ebook Library. I am now able to provide a small
selection of free
MP3's
that I have found during my searches. These are comprised mainly of
guided meditations, samples of binaural technology, and interviews.
I will keep adding to this category as I find MP3's to
provide.

New Additions to

And stop back
frequently, as more ebooks will be coming up soon!! And thank
you
for stopping by!!
This
is a brand
new website, so please bear with me as I'm building it. I am
currently playing with different software and designs as I build this
site, and trying to get it all together for you. I know that
it
is pretty "plain", but at the moment, I'd like to work on getting the
books online for you, and to make it easily navigable, rather than
worry about pretty graphics, etc. Hopefully, that will come
later.
Also, if you have any problems at all downloading a book, or following
a link, please let me know at support@free-ebooklibrary.com.
I am prone to "typo's" as much as anybody, so I would like to
know to be able to fix them, or, if something is no longer a working
link, I would like to remove it.
If you have found this
site helpful, please consider donating. Every $1 helps toward
the upkeep and growth of this site!
Thank you for stopping by
Free Ebook Library and more!
