Online Resources for Books in English


 

There are many places to look for books online.  Two very popular websites are The Internet Archive a non-profit library with millions of free books, movies and music, and Project Gutenberg a library with more than 60,000 free eBooks.  You must create an account with these sites but both are free.

I like to use the Kindle app for reading books. The app is free and can be downloaded on any device; tablets are ideal.  Amazon offers the Kindle Unlimited subscription that gives you access to a terrific selection of books for a monthly fee.  

I will require you to read and will test you on you comprehension of whatever book you're reading.
