Turn Your Laptop Into A Library.

How I love the internet! Even without tapping torrents millions of books are drifting around- for free! Use these steps to tap the well of information.

1. Know What's Out There: Never pay for a book published before 1923. Copyright laws start there- anything before is completely free, and legal, for download. Amazon and Google are great for free classics- but don't write off the lesser known sources: gutenberg, freebookspot, Free-Ebooks and Manybooks are worth clicking around- especially for modern literature.

2. Find A Cloud Reader: Cloud readers allow easy browser reading- no download needed. Choose between the Kindle Reader or Google Play Books. Play Books is more like reading a paper-novel; amazon is better for syncing. Both are free, accesible and cleanly designed.

3. Fall In Love With 'A Read It Later App': There are millians of free articles and short storys online; time, however, is limited. Apps, like Readability, save articles for a later, more conveniently timed, read. Readability even sends articles straight to your kindle! Also check out Pocket and Instapaper.

4. Don't Say Goodbye To Your Local Library: I will always prefer paper to wires; but for those who think libraries are archaic check out this website. Better yet, check out a book- virtually!!
