Free E-Books
(Electronic Books)

There are hundreds of free ebooks available at the University of Virginia including over fifty Sherlock Holmes stories, four Dickens novels (with two more in preparation), Poe, Shakespeare and many others - virtually any major author whose work is now in the public domain. There is a free tool available for turning your Word files into Reader format (it runs as a Word 2000 addin). 

About these titles: 1,200 publicly-available ebooks from the University of Virginia's Etext Center, including classic British and American fiction, major authors, children's literature, American history, African-American documents, and much more. Our thanks to overdrive.com for their ebook-building software. Thousands more titles (currently web versions only) can be found in the Electronic Text Center's collections and projects, many of which are publicly accessible.

Each text on this list can be accessed in both HTML (web version) for online viewing and as a MS Reader E-book, suitable for downloading. Texts marked contain book illustrations; currently, these images exist in the web version only.
