Project Gutenberg

Whether you’re a student on a budget or want to find a book you need for school, the Project Gutenberg website is the best place to start looking.

What makes this website extremely useful for students is that it has a library of over 70,000 eBooks. All these books are free to download, and it’s completely legal — at least in the US. You’ll need to check your country’s copyright laws to ensure it’s legal for you, too.

There aren’t just books you can read, but the platform also offers hundreds of audiobooks that are read by humans. These are uploaded by contributors who want to help the platform grow.

You can find fiction and nonfiction books, so you might be able to find a book that works for a topic you want to learn more about.
