For example, imagine you wake up on a Saturday, and before going out, catch up with friends and family via email and Facebook. You can either do so very quickly and then catch up on your reading in a cafe or in the park. But instead, you find yourself distracted by emails, status updates and links that people have sent you, maybe also by your favourite news or gossip sites, or even by a game. Before you know it, your self discipline falls away. The time you would have spent reading is gone, and you have other appointments for the rest of your day.

In the last year, we’ve all learned the importance of having lots of ways to get books in kids hands. While physical books will always have a place in our hearts (and our classrooms!), you can’t beat eBooks for their convenience and ability to serve kids with many different types of learning differences. We’ve put together this list of sites where kids (and their parents) can easily download free eBooks so they can keep reading no matter where they are!
There is an important difference between the ebooks you can get off of websites and the ebooks the library offers. The ebooks the library offers come with check out periods, so after a set period of time the books will be removed from your device unless it is an ebook with unlimited downloading capablity and no checkout periods.
On the internet, fiscally speaking, there are two types of ebooks you can download: paid and free. The paid ebooks are typically books still under copyright available in an ebook format. This would include most new fiction ebooks. If you have a Kindle you can buy ebooks from Amazon.com. If you have a NOOK you can buy ebooks from www.bn.com. Sony eReader you can buy from their reader store.
However, there are many sites such as Project Gutenberg that offer free ebooks for you to download to your device for as long as you would like. Most of these books are older materials that are no longer in copyright or works that authors and publishers have decided to offer for free. Some of the sites that offer free downloads are shown in the box to the right.
