I have 3 libraries in my area and can get 5 books from each one. Also can put a book on hold if temporarily unavailable. They email you when its available. You can return them early if you have finished so you can get some more. Happy reading.

I go through a book every few days, so anything economical is good for me. Also, I can't tell you how practical I find e-books for novels. (I don't like them much for reference books. For those I like the paper version). I no longer have to try to find a way to unload them.

Here's an example: I searched for "mystery books", then sorted by price, and bingo! free Kindle books. I scrolled down 10 pages of free listings before I got bored and quit looking. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1...qid=1502943411
The listings do change; my friend got a free book and recommended it, but when I went to get it 2 weeks later, it was no longer free.

For free books, there is also Bookbub.com . The site searches for free books across several platforms, among them Amazon and Kobo. At the bottom of the category section, you can click for "free e-books". Otherwise, the list will show a selection of great deals on books, but not necessarily free.

my library offers 7 books in their selection by downloading the app Hoopla. Ask your library if it participates. My library is one of the 1500 that offer it, and I am so happy. I use overdrive, too. I think that you have to live in the area that has Overdrive.
