FREE E-BOOKS
Because iConn’s present budget situation makes purchasing e-Books impossible they have created a web page with links to free e-Books from Google, the Internet Archive, ManyBooks, the Online Books Page, and Project Gutenberg. Some of these e-Books must be read on a computer. We also have links to free e-Books for the Kindle and the Nook, but these sites require setting up an account with a credit card. We provide these links as a convenience and regret that we cannot provide technical support for the sites or the devices. The link to Free E-Books is now on all iCONN.org landing and classic menu pages except elementary schools (those titles are being researched separately). To try out our free e-Books web page, go to iCONN.org or visit:
