As I’ve mentioned before in prior posts, there are many other sites for free Kindle books than the Amazon website (shocking, I know!).  One of those is called the Internet Sacred Text Archive.

Website: www.sacred-texts.com

This one, to me, is a little strange.  They bill themselves as the largest freely available archive of online books about religion, mythology, folklore and the esoteric on the Internet. The site is dedicated to religious tolerance and scholarship, and claims to have the largest readership of any similar site on the web.

While you will find a lot about major religions and religions you have never heard of before…for me, when I was on there once I got lost in their Nostradamus section…

Once you click on one of the books and read its description and want it, you can download the Kindle version to your computer and then transfer it to your computer.

Once you have downloaded it to your computer, you will need to transfer it over to your Kindle.  It’s pretty easy, and you can click here or type in http://smarturl.it/xfer  into your web browser for my instructions on how to do it – this is the same guide I charge 99 cents for in the Amazon Kindle store, but you can read it for free by clicking the link

Enjoy exploring!

Here’s a website that offers a lot of eBooks for sale, but also has a great section of free eBooks: Baen Free Library Website: http://www.baen.com/library/intro.asp

Baen publishes only science fiction and fantasy titles, and touts their offerings as “powerful plots with solid scientific and philosophical underpinnings are the sine qua non for consideration for science fiction submissions.  As for fantasy, any magical system must be both rigorously coherent and integral to the plot, and overall the work must at least strive for originality.”

I’ve found several great science fiction eBooks on this website – why not peruse it for yourself: you might find something you like?  Once you click the link above, click on the “Books” link on the left-hand side of the web page.  From there, you will see a good list of free material if you sort it by price low-to-high.  Make sure you give that a shot as you will see more free material offered than just clicking the “Free Library” option.

Open Library is huge, with over 30 million records (24+ million are available through the website now), and more are on the way. There is a database infrastructure and wiki interface, you can search millions of book records, narrow results by facet, and search across the full text of one million scanned books.

While there are a lot of books on the Open Library site, I find it harder to navigate compared to others as it doesn’t have the “in your face” Kindle-format eBooks. Some are in other eReader formats, others you can’t get for free but can purchase, etc. While there is literally tons of content, you might have to dig a bit. Then again, it might be pretty easy as I am an impatient and sometimes lazy individual and may not have taken the appropriate amount of time exploring the website.
