Question:
Where can I find free online e-books?

I am looking for a website that offers FREE (I mean that) e-books. Not downloading a file or anything, but read ON the website like there is in other languages. If it needs to come up on something like adobe reader, that's perfectly fine, but certainly not downloaded to my computer.

I have been searching for months and none of my friends or other internet friends could help me either. Either they find one that isn't free or there is some other catch about it or that it doesn't contain the kind of books I need. I need series books so if I find one I like I can read more in that series instead of having to go look for a completely new book, and I definitely prefer older ones that are finished and aren't made any more so I don't have to chase down new ones are come out later.

I don't really care about genre as long as it IS NOT horror or science fiction or anything to do with the supernatural, but something simple and intresting to read. Preferably ones with less than 300 pages.

This is what you are looking for.



Note that even though the site indicates that you can "download" the file, you can read it online.



To be perfectly honest, it is impossible for you to read a file without downloading a copy to a "temporary" directory, but you really didn't need to know that, did you?



If you're after a "series," Baum started it with the Oz books: http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/b#a42





You're welcome.

WattPad is pretty good. It's geared more toward mobil devices, but it works fine on desktop. See the example.
