Free
EBook Giveaway
A
Monday Giveaway Where Everybody Wins!
Here
at the Writers Lens we have giveaways all the time, readers enter throughout
the week and win at the end of the week. We love having them, but today we
wanted to allow everyone to have that winning experience!
The
Writers’ Lens is giving away EBOOKS!
I know we're giving away stuff that's already free, but that won't stop us from showcasing free ebooks. Plus classical novels are cool.
The
links provided are a few suggestions of some great novels from classical
literature that can be found for free. These are from Google Books, an excellent source for free books.
To
get your free ebook, follow the link to the Google Books page; on the left
hand side of the screen you will see a red button that says, “read ebook – free”,
or something similar. You have two choices at this point. You can click the
button which will take you to Google Play, Google’s E-reader, where you can
sign up to get more free ebooks and get these books in any format. Or, you
can hover your pointer over the button (but do not click it) and an option to
get the book as a PDF will appear. You do not have to sign up for Google Play
if you only want the PDF.
If
you don’t like one of these, then we highly recommend you search for your
favorite – but a word of caution: not all ebooks on Google Books are free. Only
books that no longer carry a copyright under US Law are available for free.
