How To Read eBooks For Free
Guess what. You don’t need to pay for an eReader to read eBooks.
How pray tell?!, you ask?
You can get pretty much any eBook available to read on your phone, you silly goose! From Kindle eBooks
Not only are there free eBooks to be read but there are free ways to read them. And considering that the vast majority of eBooks are priced much lower than their paperback counterparts, you’re totally saving mega bucks.
…here’s where I welcome all of your praises for the wisdom I’m imparting…
I’m partial to reading Kindle books. I have a Kindle Paperwhite, Wi-Fi with special offers
If you don’t have a Kindle and only use your smartphone to read, it goes everywhere you go, so you always have your book with you. Plus, no one sitting in the doctor’s office waiting room or at the PTA meeting will know you’re reading hardcore smut in their presence. It’s your little secret.
Just the same as the Amazon Kindle apps
Anyone with an iPhone
If you don’t have an iSomething, Android phones and Android tablets
And to just give the other smartphone makers a shake: Windows phones have Nook and Kindle apps as well.
Not sure about Blackberry, but honestly, who still uses one? ;)
Yep! Pretty much every smartphone and tablet has access to the free apps.
My phone is all I have to read my ebooks on. And I’m constantly reading books on it: while waiting in the vehicle picking up my husband from work (my vehicle is broke down at the moment and currently sharing his). And I read while in waiting rooms. And what you said about no one knowing what you are reading is true. But you can kind of give yourself away by laughing out loud, giggling, crying, or blushing or a multitude of other expressions the book causes.
I read all of my books on my Android phone using the free Aldiko app. It works great, is free and easy to download books to.
Oh I do use the Kindle app on my phone too, if I’ve bought a book from Amazon. I don’t like their app quite as much as Aldiko, but it totally works.
I just downloaded Kobo and it seems fine. I haven’t decided if I care about a social network for my reader app. I kind of like that Aldiko is simple and just a reader app. We’ll see, I’ll give Kobo a try before I made my final decision.
