It's more a question of ethics.</P><P></P><P>Project Gutenberg has thousands of public domain ebooks and doesn't require registration. Manybooks.net also doesn't require registration.</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 09 Jan 2011 12:05:29 GMT https://community.sony.bg/t5/ereaders/suggestions-for-trustworthy-sites-for-free-ebooks/m-p/191143#M314 SteveF48 2011-01-09T12:05:29Z
