    I'm making a second topic about this because I think it's rather cool and there was some confusion my last topic on this about whether the books were really free or not.

    Trust me, there are free books available. There fee is on the iBibilo site which is sort of an world online library. There is no fee to download on the Project Gutenberg site (which is where I download) and other sites associated with this book fair. See below:
