Project gutenberg
Planet eBook
ManyBooks
Classic Reader

If you are learning English and are always on the lookout for new e-books to read, then it seems that there are not so many options on the Internet. But if you know where to look, then it is quite possible to find books in English that you can read on the Internet, download to your computer or phone..

These four sites of classics from internationally renowned authors have everything you need. In addition to classics, there you will find satire, thrillers, science fiction and novels. Sit in your favorite chair, grab a laptop and get ready to immerse yourself in a wonderful story.

Project gutenberg

With over 54,000 free books on Project Gutenberg , you are sure to find something to your liking. You can search for a specific artwork, browse recently added ones, or see a list of the most popular ones..

Several features set Project Gutenberg apart from other similar sites. First, you can read online, using an e-book (for example, Kindle) or download to your computer. Second, you can upload your workbook to Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive with the click of a button. Third, it is possible to access the mobile site using the link or QR code on the home page.

Reading on a mobile device is ideal for work breaks or bus rides. Finally, if you sign up for free, you can add bookmarks as you read so that you can easily find the point where you left off in the future..

Planet eBook

Planet eBook  is a free site that offers classic literature. Some works are not protected by copyright and are offered on completely legal grounds. However, be sure to click on the Copyright Notice link for any restrictions.

Today, Planet eBook offers readers just over 80 carefully selected books. Yes, there are not thousands of options that can be found on other sites, but you can be sure that each piece is a masterpiece.

The books on the site can be downloaded in PDF format for reading at any time. Thus, you can enjoy such works as "Wuthering Heights", "A Tale of Two Cities" or "Great Expectations" without stopping. The assortment may not be all that great, but if you want a quick and easy way to find the best one when it comes to classics, then this site is for you.

ManyBooks

ManyBooks works the same way as the Planet eBook, offering free classics. Unlike the Planet eBook site, which offers a carefully selected volume of literature, ManyBooks publishes many books at once.

At the time of this writing, the site had over 33,000 works. Most of them are available for Kindle, Nook, iPad and other readers. They can also be read online or downloaded in PDF format.

While searching, you can sort by genre, author, title, category or language. You can also view Popular Collections, Site Recommendations, and Featured Authors.

There is also a public bookshelf area where you can view books collected by other users. This is a great way to see what ManyBooks readers like. To do this, follow the link User's Public Bookshelves .

As a bonus, ManyBooks offers discounted books. You can subscribe to the email newsletter or the site's RSS feed to receive the latest news. ManyBooks are a great way to find an interesting writer whose work you would like to meet.

Classic Reader

Classic Reader sits somewhere between Planet eBook and ManyBooks. This site offers a large selection of fiction, documentary, drama and youth books. Poems and short stories for quick reading are also available here.

After choosing a book, you can start reading it online. Since the site has a laconic design, the reading process is pleasant and distraction-free. Having a table of contents makes it easy to jump to the chapter you left off last time. If you prefer to download books, then you can do this only after completing a free registration.

Classic Reader doesn't offer as many options as other sites (less than 4000 at the time of writing). However, you can still enjoy the classics of Charles Dickens or Jules Verne. If you have a favorite author, you can view all of his available books, as well as read the biography. Overall, the site may not be the most outstanding of this collection, but it is definitely worth your time.
