Lena: Hey there, book lovers! Welcome to another episode of "Page Turners." I'm Lena, and with me as always is my fellow bibliophile, Miles. Today we're tackling a question that lands in our inbox constantly: "Where can I find free books?"
Miles: And it's such a great question! I mean, who doesn't love free books, right? What's fascinating is that there are actually over 75,000 completely free eBooks available just through Project Gutenberg alone.
Lena: Wait, seriously? That many?
Miles: Absolutely! And that's just one source. Between Project Gutenberg, Open Library, ManyBooks, and others, we're talking about literally millions of free books available legally online.
Lena: That's incredible. I think most people assume "free books" means either sketchy pirated copies or just a handful of public domain classics nobody wants to read.
Miles: Right, but the reality is so different. You can find everything from literary classics to niche scientific texts, all completely free and legal. Many people don't realize that once a book enters the public domain—which in the US happens 70 years after the author's death—it becomes freely available to everyone.
Lena: So let's dive into these amazing resources and show our listeners exactly how to build their own free digital library without spending a dime.
