Free PDF ebooks for download

Steve_Warwickshire

Hi all,
hope I am ok asking this on this forum.
I have just got an acer tablet & was wondering if anybody knew of any internet sites where I can download Patrick Robinson, Clive Cussler and Stephen Coonts PDF ebooks for free? also some WW2 RAF,Royal Navy and Luftwaffe and kriegsmarine (German airforce & navy) books.
cheeky ask i know, but if you don't ask,.....you don't know or get.

Thanks in advance

Is this work copyright-free? Have the authors actively rescinded their copyright, or been dead 70+ yrs? If not, you're asking where you can pirate their work, and clearly nobody will tell you where to steal stuff...

should have said, sorry, I have sold all of my hard copy books & used the cash to fund buying the eBooks as replacements, got fed up with having loads of hard copy books when i can have them on a reader, i am now looking for sites that have eBooks that are not under copyright

The Gutenberg Project is probably the largest source of copyright-free eBooks, just Google 'free eBooks' for lots of other sites.
But, since the 3 authors you name are still very much alive, you're not going to find any copyright free downloads for them.
And they will generally be in ePub or AZW (Kindle) format, not PDF.

I use the FB Reader app on my Samsung Galaxy Note.

It can download from several free (and legal) repositories, including Project Gutenberg, and has built in search features.

A decent reading experience, and a very quick way to pull the books onto your tablet or phone.

I can advise Henry savage landor as an out of copyright author with some wonderful tales of being a gentleman explorer and the travails it involves, quite dryly humorous and great with words, very enjoyable reads - try one of his books about going into Tibet or Korea (when it was silk spelt Corea)

Our local libraries offer an on line "e-service" where you can download up to 3 titles. The loan period is 21 days after which time they "disappear" from any devices they are on.
They are in Epub or PDF format and can be read on PC's or Android/Ipad devices with suitable software

The good news is that they have over 3500 titles

The bad news is that that it is becoming popular and once the title is on loan, nobody else can download it.
I also tried to find the authors you mention to no avail. (Several aviation themes though)

Worth a look though
