Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg Logo

Project Gutenberg is a library of over 60,000 free eBooks. Choose among free epub and Kindle eBooks, download them or read them online. You will find the world’s great literature here, with focus on older works for which U.S. copyright has expired. Most were published before 1924, with some published in the decades after.

Navigating the thousands of titles can be daunting, so consider starting with the 100 top books.

No special apps needed! Project Gutenberg eBooks require no special apps to read, just the regular Web browsers or eBook readers that are included with computers and mobile devices. Simply browse the collection, download the book you want to read and that’s it – no need to worry about late fees or the loan expiring.

If you want to use a dedicated eBook reader with epub books, try these suggestions.  Some of the apps might have worthwhile features, but none are required to enjoy Project Gutenberg eBooks.
