Reading books for free is a possible feat. Whilst it may be highly unlikely you will be able to read Island of the Blue Dolphins online for free, there are a few ways in which you can actually get the actual book for free through various "swap shop" sites and free online PDF versions of the novel. The sites are as follows:
The Gutenberg Project was one of the first websites to offer free ebooks. Simply type in the name of the book or author and it should come up with what you want to read. This website offers the most extensive range of ebooks compared to other ebook websites. You can download the ebooks to your computer, Kindle, Android or any other portable device.
Book Spot is essentially the same as The GutenBerg Project, except that it specializes more in resource and reference books. However, there are several bestseller and fiction books available.
Free Ebooks is a useful website for permanently downloading ebooks. You can browse by author or category, as well as typing in the name of the book you wish to download.
A surprisingly useful way to obtain books for practically nothing is by visiting sites such as ebay and Amazon. Some people will sell their books for 1p and only charge for postage.
