The biggest advantage of e-readers like Tolino, Kindle or Kobo: Thousands of books are available there for free. It’s worth browsing for good and free books!

Which books you can read for free on your e-reader

Most books available for free are classics that have expired in copyright terms. But there are also plenty of current authors who publish free books. This happens for very different reasons. For example, young authors want to make their works accessible to a wide audience in order to attract the attention of publishers.

You can find many free classics at gutenberg.org or zeno.org, for example.

Read new books for free

There are also many new books that are available completely or part-time for free. You will find what you are looking for on these pages:

bookrix.de
ciando.com (search here for books that cost less than 0.01 euros)
bookboon.com
zulu-ebooks.com

But you can always find free electronic books for your reading device at booksellers such as Amazon, Thalia and ebook.de.

Borrow e-books from the library

Many libraries now offer e-books for loan. In some libraries you can even borrow readers and test the different products.

You can borrow e-books on the onleihe.net platform. Perhaps your local library is also part of this community project and you will find interesting books there.

Audio books are also an excellent way to enjoy books when you are out and about or doing sports. The Librivox site makes almost 2,000 German-language titles available free of charge. If you want to practice English, French or Spanish, you can also find many foreign language works there.
