One of the highlights of having an e-reader is the compactability of it. It's easy to carry anywhere and you can have thousands of books at the touch of your fingertips. For an avid reader, it's heaven on earth.
Another highlight is the many free books available for downloading. I'm not talking about the ones that you can download from demonoid or other pirating sites. They're actually not free. I'm talking about the ones that are released officially by sites like Amazon and Kobobooks.
Downloading free ebooks allows you to discover obscure authors you may not have heard of - and we're not just talking about indie authors, but also represented authors. It also allows you to rediscover the classics like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Great Expectations and other literature masterpieces.
With most free ebooks, there is usually a limited amount of time to download them and they will be ever changing. I always find it's a good idea to bookmark sites that offer free books and go back once a week to see what's new.
Here's a list of books that are free and worth checking out:
(Remember with Amazon it depends on the country, so please check to ensure that the price is $00.00 before purchasing. The same goes for other book sites)
Jonathan Swift - Gulliver's Travels
Alexander Dumas- The Count of Monto Cristo
Samuel Taylor Coleridge - The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Rhonda Nelson - Double Dare
Grimms Brothers - Grimms Fairytales
For the romance lovers out there, Harlequin almost always has free ebooks to try. You can check out some of the latest free ebooks available.

We can find so many sites like Amazon, Kobobooks and All You Can Books, where we can download eBooks just for us. But as you said, they are free only for limited time period, after which we must pay for them. I downloaded so many great eBooks from these sites that I don't need printed books, only for my library. Thank you for this article, very useful for those who don't know where to get them!
