By Patricia Gilliam

The Internet has opened up a lot of opportunity to browse public domain books and audio books for free. In this article, I'll give you some great places to start.

Instructions

Step 1
Project Gutenberg has an extensive list of classic and public domain books--primarily in .pdf format and webpage formats. There are a few free audiobooks as well.

Step 2
LibriVox is another volunteer-based website that is entirely library books--I'll link you to their main library in the "Resources" tab.

Step 3
Check with your local library as well--many have free audiobook subscription programs that can allow you to download books to your computer for a limited period of time.

Step 4
Though it's rare for it to be entire books, many author's websites offer previews and excerpts of their novels. It's a great marketing tool for them and makes it easier for readers to see if they would like the books or not. Stephenie Meyer's website is a great example of this.
