A few note worthy things before we continue. First things first, you’re going to need an ebook reader.

古腾堡计划 (Project Gutenberg)

Project Gutenberg is the grand daddy of free ebook web sites. Started by Michael Hart in the 1970s the original collection was a small assortment of books that Hart hand typed in order to digitize classic works of literature. Since then the project has grown enormously and now contains 33,000 books and documents in the public domain. You won’t find a larger or better organized collection of classics anywhere on the internet.

古腾堡计划是免费电子书网站的祖父。 最初的收藏是由迈克尔·哈特(Michael Hart)于1970年代创立的，最初的收藏是一小部分书，这些书是哈特亲手写的，目的是将经典文学作品数字化。 从那时起，该项目取得了巨大的发展，目前在公共领域包含33,000本书和文件。 在互联网上任何地方都找不到更大或更有组织的经典作品集。

All the books at Project Gutenberg are free, legal, and available as ePub, Kindle, HTML, and basic text documents.

古腾堡计划中的所有书籍都是免费的，合法的，并可以通过ePub，Kindle，HTML和基本文本文档获得。

ManyBooks.net (ManyBooks.net)

If you like the idea of Project Gutenberg—a massive index of public domain books—but you’re not a fan of their Spartan interface and text-only listings, then ManyBooks is for you. ManyBooks is essentially a Project Gutenberg mirror with some extras layered on top. Those extras include detailed entries for each book with summaries, cover art, book reviews, and books formatted in over 20 digital formats.

如果您喜欢古腾堡计划(Project Gutenberg)(大量的公共领域书籍)的想法，但是您不喜欢其Spartan界面和纯文本列表，那么ManyBooks非常适合您。 ManyBooks本质上是古腾堡计划的镜子，顶部有一些附加功能。 这些额外功能包括每本书的详细条目，包括摘要，封面，书评和以20多种数字格式格式化的书。

If you’re looking for the Project Gutenberg experience with more of a modern digital bookstore feel and flair, ManyBooks.net is it. All the books are free and formats include LIT, LRF, ePUB, MOBI, PDF, and more.

如果您正在寻找古腾堡计划(Project Gutenberg)的体验，并且拥有更多现代数字书店的感觉和品味，ManyBooks.net就是它。 所有书籍都是免费的，格式包括LIT，LRF，ePUB，MOBI，PDF等。

DailyLit (DailyLit)

DailyLit takes a novel approach to ebooks. Rather than offer an entire book for instant download, they’ve essentially modernized the idea of the serialized novel. In decades past magazines and newspapers would print books, almost always popular fiction, in serial form breaking the book up into small segments. The publication’s readers were able to enjoy the book and the author was paid a lump sum by the publication. DailyLit takes that model and applies it to email and RSS. You pick out a book, they send you a chunk every day, and you read and enjoy it with a small bit of advertising attached.

DailyLit对电子书采取了一种新颖的方法。 他们没有提供完整的书以供立即下载，而是从本质上对序列化小说的概念进行了现代化。 在过去的几十年中，杂志和报纸会以连续的形式将书籍(几乎总是受欢迎的小说)印刷成小块。 该刊物的读者可以欣赏这本书，而该刊物向作者支付了一笔款项。 DailyLit采用该模型并将其应用于电子邮件和RSS。 您挑选一本书，它们每天都会给您发送大量邮件，并且您会阅读并享受其中的少量广告。

They solve two dilemmas which this arrangement: how to get commercial books in front of people for free and how to fit reading into a busy schedule. It’s not a perfect solution for everyone but the books are free and the topics diverse. DailyLit currently features a selection of around a thousand books.

他们解决了这种安排的两个难题：如何免费将商业书籍摆在人们面前，以及如何使阅读适应繁忙的日程。 对于每个人来说，这都不是一个完美的解决方案，但是书籍是免费的，主题也多种多样。 DailyLit目前提供大约一千本书籍。

提要书 (FeedBooks)

FeedBooks has a regular ebook storefront, but the part we’re interested in is their public domain and original books sections. Between the two they have thousands of novels, short stories, and poetry collections. It is one of the smaller collections in our roundup but we’re not going to complain—free but small is still free.

FeedBooks拥有常规的电子书店面，但我们感兴趣的部分是其公共领域和原始书籍部分。 在这两者之间，他们拥有成千上万的小说，短篇小说和诗歌集。 它是我们综述中较小的系列之一，但我们不会抱怨-免费，但小版本仍然免费。

All FeedBooks ebooks are in ePUB format.

所有FeedBooks电子书均为ePUB格式。

亚马逊的免费和折扣部分 (Amazon’s Free and Discounted Section)

You may be wondering why Amazon, given its size, wasn’t at the top of the list. The hassle factor of using Amazon’s services—unless you’re a Kindle owner or Kindle software user—is quite high. None the less you can score some free books of both the public domain and 100%-off-promotion variety. Amazon’s store has over 15,000 public domain books and hundreds of promotional books at any given time.

您可能想知道为什么考虑到亚马逊的规模却不在榜首。 除非您是Kindle所有者或Kindle软件用户，否则使用Amazon服务的麻烦性很高。 即便如此，您也可以为公共领域和100％优惠促销的免费书籍打分。 亚马逊的商店在任何给定时间都有15,000多种公共领域书籍和数百本促销书籍。

To use the free books from Amazon you’ll need to send them either to your Kindle or to your Kindle software on your computer, Android phone, or other device. If you’re trying to rip them to another format you’ll need to use the software on a computer so you can easily access the files. Send the books to your Kindle for PC account, open the folder with your books, and dump them into Calibre.

要使用来自亚马逊的免费书籍，您需要将它们发送到Kindle或计算机，Android手机或其他设备上的Kindle软件。 如果您尝试将它们翻录成其他格式，则需要在计算机上使用该软件，以便可以轻松访问文件。 将书籍发送到您的Kindle for PC帐户，打开包含书籍的文件夹，然后将其转储到Calibre中。

Public domain and completely free books are not encrypted and you can easily use Calibre to convert them to other formats. Books which are not public domain but are temporarily free as a promotion are still encrypted and cannot be converted in Calibre. Still, if you really want to read a book that’s temporarily free in the Amazon Kindle bookstore, it might be worth loading the Kindle software on your computer or phone—this is one of the few methods for legally getting non-public-domain books for free-as-in-beer.

公共领域和完全免费的书籍未加密，您可以轻松地使用Caliber将其转换为其他格式。 非公共领域的书籍但作为促销活动暂时免费的书籍仍被加密，无法在Calibre中进行转换。 不过，如果您真的想阅读Amazon Kindle书店中暂时免费的书，则可能值得在您的计算机或电话上加载Kindle软件-这是合法获取非公共领域书籍的少数方法之一啤酒免费。

Note: The Nook ebook store and the Sony Reader ebook store both have similar free section, though not as large as Amazon’s.

注意： Nook电子书商店和Sony Reader电子书商店都有相似的免费部分，尽管不如Amazon的大。
