If you are looking for free books over the internet this website might be interesting for you. Authorama.com is an American site that offers free books from a variety of authors. Of course, all the books featured here are in electronic format and can be read either online or offline and they are all printable. The reason why they are all free is that all the books from this website are public domain books. This means that there are no legal restrictions to their use and that they are not owned or controlled by anyone. Though legislation changes from one country to the other, it is common that after a period of time (around 100 years) most of the intellectual property becomes public domain. So, here you can find a huge collection of classic literature, with authors such as H.G Wells, Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Charles Dickens, James Joyce, and Franz Kafka, among many others.
