Is reading really dead or dying, as they keep telling us? Surely not. Hopefully not. Let’s assume it’s just a phase, or an aberration from a small proportion of the population. If you’ve read this far, well done for your patience, and here’s the link you’ve been waiting for.

1000 Free e-Books is exactly what it says on the tin. 1000 jellied eels, pickled in jelly. Ah sorry, wrong tin. This one, the correct one, actually features 1000 of the ‘best‘ copyright free ebooks on the planet, all waiting for your download click.

You’ll need to register for the service, but it’s Sainsbury’s, which is a grocer store, what harm can come from that, except endless emails promoting cheaper turkeys and stuff. Somewhat ironically you don’t get any cover art with your free book, as if to punish us bargain hunters, but if you’re willing to cough up some cash, you can buy the exact same book with a delightful cover on it. Bargain?

Actually they’re also offering eBook reader/library apps for Android and iOS, tied in to book sales of course, but it’s all good fun. Enjoy!
