I was gifted one for my birthday! Where do you obtain your e-books?

So I have a lot of weird, free ebooks to choose from. I'm currently reading one where a man becomes a vigilante and murders child molesters in Thailand.
His weapon is a weighted rattan stick, which is an interesting choice.

Do you have AmazonPrime?

#bookz on undernet used to be the place, but I'm not sure if it still is. There are a couple of torrent sites focused on books: theebooksbay.com, ebookee.org, ebookshare.net, etc. but I haven't used them enough to be able to recommend them. The popular stuff should be readily available via major torrent sites, no?

One might hope that at your age, you should be able to download from the pay sites. Have you considered going back to school for the education, that allows you to pay as most others do.

I know of Project Gutenberg, was hoping for other resources as well. Thanks though!

Then you have access to a free book through audible each month.

Chili do you have friends with Kindles? They can set up their account so that family and friends can share.
You may even be able to find a work mate with an account and pay a very small fee for the right to be a more better buddy just for sharing the account.

I have one via a corporate account and find the screen just to much like my phone and computers. Just to much of that unnatural light. I am old school of course and when I can I even buy the leather bound versions.
All my Mark Twain (just gave myself away) and one of my go to favs - Dante's Inferno, in leather in the best of papers - just so very nice with my ideal choice of a light to read by at night.

Old school as I said - Check with your friends about sharing their account.

I thought audible was audiobooks?

@previous (G)
I don't believe i have friends with kindles but I'll look into it, thanks! Plus the whole appeal of e readers is the use of e ink displays rather than backlit lcd like a phone screen

Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure they have a similar thing for e-books on amazonprime, tho.

It might be a free amazon publication.

That was not me. Get them from Amazon Kindle Store.

Obviously i was looking for options other than the Amazon store. Don't be obtuse.
