A nook is an e-reader that Barnes & Noble produced, which is similar to the Kindle and Sony Reader. The Nook is available in several different models that range in size and color, some of which include touch screen support. The Nook is able to store a wide variety of e-books in its built-in hard drive, display a full screen book layout when turned on its side, and connect to the Internet for access to more e-books. While Barnes & Noble sells thousands of e-books for the Nook, readers can also obtain free e-books through a number of other sources.

 

Barnes & Noble

The first place to look for free Nook e-books is Barnes & Noble itself. While Barnes & Noble’s main objective is to sell e-books for the Nook, it also maintains a large collection of free e-books that readers can enjoy at any time. Although Barnes & Noble’s free e-book collection is mostly full of old and unpopular books, the company is constantly adding new items to the collection, some of which are very popular.

 

ePub Books

Other than Barnes & Noble, users can obtain free e-books from ePub Books, an online collection of free e-books specifically made for e-readers, such as the Nook, Kindle, BeBook, iPad, Sony Reader, Kobo, iPhone, and desktop computers. While ePub Books contain thousands of free e-books that range in popularity and genre, it also has an e-book category that readers can buy that contains the most best selling novels available.

 

Project Gutenberg

In addition to ePub Books, readers can also find free e-books at Project Gutenberg, a website entirely dedicated to providing readers with free e-books that e-readers such as the Nook, Kindle, Kobo, and Sony Reader can read. Project Gutenberg currently contains over 3,600 free e-books.
