Free PDF libraries: download
As I told you at the beginning of the tutorial, on the Web there are many Internet sites that you can refer to to get free PDF books. Here are some of the best.
Project Gutenberg
Impossible to talk about free PDF books without mentioning Project Gutenberg. Haven't you ever heard of it? Then get ready to have a good feast of free books. It is, in fact, a service born from the idea of the American computer scientist Michael Hart, who back in 1971 started a project to digitize literary works from all over the world to make them accessible to as many people as possible.
At present, the site hosts over 50.000 eBooks in all languages that can be downloaded at no cost. The download is absolutely legal, as the works available on Project Gutenberg are no longer protected by copyright or, in any case, are freely granted to the public by the legitimate authors. It should be noted, however, that due to the limitations applied by some Internet providers, it may be necessary to use international DNS to access the site.
That said, to start browsing the contents on Project Gutenberg, go to the home page of the site, click on the item Search and Browse which is at the top and, in the new page that opens, click on the wording Browsing options to expand the related menu, then choose whether to view the available eBooks by author, by title, by language or by date of addition by clicking on the links of your interest.

It should be noted that not all books are available in PDF format, some can be downloaded only in ePub, Mobi or can be viewed directly online in HTML format.
Liber Liber
Among the cittàn sites dedicated to eBooks it certainly deserves a special mention Liber Liber, which has been operating for years thanks to the work of an ONLUS with the aim of providing free access to online culture. For this reason, it offers hundreds of free PDF books in cittàn: from the great classics of world literature to writings by contemporary authors who have consented to the distribution of their works in digital format.

Kindle Store
You probably weren't aware of it, but the Kindle Store di Amazon it contains, in addition to paid digital books, hundreds of titles that can be obtained without spending a cent. Obviously, to be able to download them it is essential to have an Amazon account (if you don't have one yet, you can create it by following the instructions I gave you in my guide on the subject).

Books taken from the Amazon store can be read through Kindle eReaders, Amazon Kindle applications for Android (if you use a device without the Play Store, you can instead go to alternative app markets), iOS / iPadOS, Windows and macOS and through the Kindle Cloud reader usable by the browser. Also, keep in mind that the eBooks in question are not in PDF but in Kindle format. However, once the download is complete you can still convert them and read them on other devices using ad hoc software such as Caliber.

Again, the books are not downloaded in PDF but in ePub, but if you want you can convert them by reading my guide on how to transform ePub to PDF.
Other sites for free online PDF books
Did none of the free PDF book portals that I have already suggested in the previous lines satisfied you? If so, I suggest you take a look at the other sites listed below.
- Archive.org - it is a site that has the noble purpose of preserving the collective memory (the same that is located behind the Open Library site I told you about earlier). To do this, it collects and makes available to the public cultural content of all kinds: films, music, video games, websites and obviously books. In its huge database you can find millions of eBooks and magazines that can be downloaded for free and in a completely legal way (as they are no longer protected by copyright or distributed in agreement with the rights holders). The contents are in various languages.
- ZLibrary - this is another excellent site, which can count on a database of about 3 million books in different languages, including cittàn, all downloadable at no cost and in PDF format.
- PDF Books World - as easily understood by the name itself, this is a site that allows you to access many digital books available in PDF format. The contents on the portal are nothing more than the digitized versions of books that now appear to be in the public domain and which, therefore, can be downloaded for free without the slightest problem. Note, however, that all content is in English only.
