Who has the largest free library?
Amazon, Barns and Nobels, Sony, Kobo or someone else (if its someone else please name the store)?

I seriously doubt that Baen has the largest free library for a *store*. Almost certainly it's Amazon, but I'd also chose Gutenberg as the *site* with the most free books.

The title does not say store. It asks who has the largest free library. Just because he listed only stores does not exclude Gutenberg.

FreeReadFeed seems to find 4-4.5k of freebies on Amazon at any particular time - not always the same as a lot are only up for a limited time but more appear as well...

Last I heard Google claimed several million crap-scans.
(Well over a million back in 2009.) http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2009/...ic-domain.html Quality used to be awful, but they do take the crown for the biggest free library. |

Now moved out of NEWS - which it is not - and moved to GENERAL DISCUSSIONS.

You could try looking for the book you want to read rather than trawling through the slush pile. Reading recommendations springs to mind.....
No need to stick with only one store or site. Then look for a free legit version. Easy for PD, or maybe an author promo. |
