Free ebooks and free PDFs. Looking for something to read? Download from the Global Grey library of over 3,000 quality ebooks. No registration or payment required.
I offer three formats for the ebooks: PDFs, epubs, and mobi (for Kindle). A growing selection of the books are also available to read online. With 110 categories. No fee, registration, or email required.
Global Grey has been around for about 8 years now, and right from the start, it's been a one woman operation. I create all the ebooks myself, as well as the design for the site. Reading books on ereaders should be a pleasurable experience and I believe Global Grey ebooks gives that. The site is easy to use and the ebooks are easy to download. No hoops to jump through, no forms to fill out - just thousands of free, beautiful ebooks.
I use sources such as Project Gutenberg, and Archive.org, as well as other places (and sometimes my own books), and use these texts as a foundation. I find lovely artwork for the covers, format the texts, so that there are clear chapter headings and breaks, clickable table of contents, and where applicable, properly placed footnotes and illustrations. I believe my original intent when I started Global Grey - to make ebooks that look good - is still being held today.
Global Grey is one of the very few sites that offer good quality public domain PDFs in addition to epubs, etc. A LOT of people prefer to read their books as PDFs, which is why it will always be a format I offer.
If there is a public domain book you want to read, but can't find it on the site, let me know and I will do my best to get it up there for you.
